(19,926 posts)Bernie wanting to take them on being about white males.
Bernie is their enemy, not their friend. He wants to regulate them and rein them in. He wants them to stop gouging the people. He would have bailed out the people and not the banks if he could have.
You are confusing the issue of being against something with having policy that only deals with that. He is against the banksters because he wants to help all the working people of this country. I don't know why you think that taking on Wall Street means his policy is about white males, quite the opposite since he is AGAINST them.
I'm beginning to see that you are just not understanding his stances and policies if that's what you think. You really should go investigate it more before you say his policies will help only white males.
And you want him to draw in minorities. Well I told you that he fought for civil rights, that he marched in the 60's and your response was "that was friggin' decades ago". That does not sound like you are posting about him in good faith. You could have said, that's great, I didn't know that, but no, you chose to dismiss it as if it were no big deal. The fact that it was decades ago shows that he has been fighting for equal rights for a long damn time.
Also, I posted and pm'd you with a link to the video where he rants about women's rights on the senate floor. Did you ever watch that video? You never rec'd the thread, which is odd since you present yourself as a staunch advocate for women's rights and as a Bernie supporter. I've asked you at least a half a dozen times now if you bothered to watch the video and you won't answer.
So... did you watch it? Why didn't you rec the OP?
You see, you say you are a supporter but you simply don't act like one. So that also makes people suspicious of what you say.
So I would go research his stances, here's a good OP about him:

There's plenty of posts showing his record for equal rights for all is stellar. You must have seen them. You can find that out for yourself if you care to.
But if you are sincere, all you have to do is check his record. He's been a public servant for decades now. Go look. But please stop with the "social justice" meme. It's old. It's stale. It's been debunked so many damn times no one is buying it. And you are still using it after you apparently are refusing to educate yourself and find out that it's not true because you never watched the video where he rails about women's rights.
