would elicit a response like that. Unbelievable. If a man posts something about how a politician is fighting for women's rights I don't get all angry that he's trying to speak for me, I'm glad he's on my side.

What do you have against someone showing how a politician is fighting for the people of this country?

To address what you said, I know PoC who disagree with you and agree with cali much more often. Do you think that all PoC have the exact same position on everything? That's... odd.

How cali's post is ignoring anything anyone says? It is addressing statements that have been made by showing that he has a record of being good on issues affecting ALL people. Or have you missed all the accusations of Bernie not caring about "social justice" and that his economic policy is for "white males only"? Surely you didn't miss the hundreds of posts saying that. Not to mention the vile OP trying to insinuate that he actually is racist by using a disgusting pic.

And again, you like to use quotations around "liberals" as if cali isn't a liberal. She's much more of a liberal than you are based on your posts on DU. If you have so much disdain for liberals, as you appear to by your posts and you constant use of quotations around that word and "progressives", why are you in the Dem Party?

Bernie sees everything through an economic lens. He's minimized social justice in two interviews KittyWampus Jun 2015 #19

Easily disproven that he has a long held passionate belief in civil rights and social justice cali Jun 2015 #23

He doesn't get it and you don't either, then. It's about his viewing things primarily and solely KittyWampus Jun 2015 #24

he's done far more than just talk about it- so yeah, you are not being honest, kitty cali Jun 2015 #25

I think he knows that the harder fight is economic justice Babel_17 Jun 2015 #31

So you didn't even read the op, much less the linked article Doctor_J Jun 2015 #32

Not if you look at his record and his actions. cui bono Jun 2015 #35

Did you see the interview with Katie Couric? Admiral Loinpresser Jun 2015 #51

Does not need to explain away his record, it stands up, and that's rare (nt) Babel_17 Jun 2015 #26

it's not clear who this person (or the op) is debating or refuting bigtree Jun 2015 #27

I'm sorry, but your constant donning of martyr's attire is a bituch. cali Jun 2015 #43
