Bernie Sanders Says He's Willing To Campaign For Montana Populist Rob Quist

19. When women or gays get thrown under the bus I agree, where that is happening.

I'm not sure who you are saying is doing this. Sanders is supporting a pro-choice candidate who has a very bad vote on the issue on his record, and is at least declaring his remorse for it. As of today he is on the right side of this issue. Not perhaps on guns, and I don't know the rest of his record, but guns are lower on my list for reasons I stated.

I appreciate Clinton's storied career and her capacity to survive and do good work in an incredibly hostile environment, in which she has had a huge target on her back for the last 15 or so years, but as of the primaries, as far as I was concerned, she was not fully on the right side of some issues. That didn't stop me from voting for her.

If this guy were pro-life, admittedly I would be torn. We did just vote for a man on Clinton's presidential ticket who has previously proclaimed himself pro-life, so it sounds like depending on the metric we want to use, we all threw women's issues under the bus. The reason I want to target money first and foremost though, is because money in politics and in media is the thing that keeps selling stupid to the American people. If we want to stop promoting anti-woman and homosexual agendas, we need to get aggressive with the institutions that are okay with funding divisive rhetoric and draconian politicians.

Gun issues are more complicated to me, as much as I could give a rats ass about the 2nd amendment. I don't want pandering legislation that looks silly, versus shit that is effective and matters, and sometimes Democrats propose some arbitrary things, or target the wrong people. I do need to see what this man has supported to get an A rating(if I read that right, think it was claimed by his opponent) from the NRA, because I despise the NRA. I suspect they wouldn't give that to a Democrat lightly...that hardly fuels their "you need to run and buy an arsenal and a bunker before the libruls come and take your rights away" sales pitch.
