This is What I Believe.

118. Well, I'm not a Sanders supporter, but I saw plenty of people comment on the OP...

It was about economic vs social justice, no? It's just that's how you kicked off yr OP, so I guess that's what everyone else saw yr OP as being about.

So, here's a few comments on the OP from me.

1. This 'vs' thing is stupid. They both go hand in hand, imo. Living in a country where we're better off than the US in terms of both social and economic issues in many cases, I find it interesting that in the US there's this attempt to create a divide between the two. Shouldn't people find the issues of importance to them a priority solely because they're important issues that speak to them, and not because they're 'social justice' or 'economic justice'? I'm a single mum. When I was struggling the governments actions when it came to social security was fucking important to me coz I wouldn't have survived without government benefits. When I finally went back to work my wage and conditions were fucking important to me because I couldn't have survived without them. I didn't give a shit whether those things were a social or economic issue. All I knew was that they were really important stuff.

2. There's two candidates so far. Both are very strong on social issues. Shouldn't the focus be on the Republicans, rather than the attempts I've seen to portray Bernie Sanders as having the potential to take the US into the dark ages on social issues?

3. I liked yr OP better before you corrected the typo in the word 'tickle down'.
