Why?

Because several of y'all are not really getting it.

Social justice is very important but it is a special interest group type of liberalism. And for many in the Neo-Liberal wing of the Dem party it is a wedge issue. If nothing is done about blacks, then it is all about us. If nothing is done about LGBT, it is all about us. If nothing is done about women, it is all about us.

Those things are ALL important, AND we are reminded time and time again that the President is the leader of all Americans - black, white, hispanic, asian, LGBT, straight, women, men, trans, etc. What is the one thing today that is affecting all of us (unless of course you are part of the top 10% in this country financially)? Money.

Yes, it is about the money. Jobs are gone. More are leaving. Real income is sliding for the lower 90%. Most over 50 don't even have any savings. Medical care is still insurance and profit driven. The MIC keeps us in a perpetual state of war in order to fuel its profits. Education has become onerously expensive.

We need both social justice and economic justice. We can get the veneer of social justice with Clinton and a continuation of the economic injustice that the neo-liberal and conservative corporate agendas bring. We can have both social AND economic justice with Sanders. There is no comparison.
