(1,615 posts)but I wonder where you get this "sanders supporters are mostly white male and upper-middle & middle class" statistic.
I'm somewhat ambivalent on the race (leaning towards sanders b/c am strong leftist) but my own feeling is that we need sanders because what is happening at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder is abominable. we do not treat low wage workers well, and a lot of the people stuck in those industries are there because of legacy of slavery, colonialism.
I don't care about benghazi or the emails, but hillary does have a lot of money, and I hope it's from the right people. obama had a lot of money too, and he ended up a shill for goldman sachs et al.
I actually think that hillary will be better for women, but even as a really committed feminist I see the so-called class mobility issues as more impt to my own life. I also see it as the number one problem facing this country.
it's such a shame that bernie supporters have been so ignorant; he's moving round my territory this weekend, maybe I can knock some sense into some fans here and there.
