41. Ok please find anywhere in history this Idea

Here is the quote and idea attributed to Bernie "economic justice is defined in terms of increased wealth for white men to the exclusion of you, me, and other women". This statement is a pure made up bash and is what I responded to. This is 180 degrees from Bernie's idea of economic justice. You know it because apparently you know Bernie's voting record.

So please find me anywhere anyplace that Bernie Sanders has come even close to that idea as a definition of economic justice. It is this bashing on made up attacks that is getting tiresome from people who want the Democratic Party to win elections and make actual progress in the future on issues that help people or in our current situation win elections to unwind the damage done by the Trump administration and Republicans.

Your particular response is actually almost hopeful because it does not respond with another made up quote or fake angst but has a ground in the reality is that Bernie has a good voting record. Make the further step and look at the post I responded to and see if you can find any ideas of Bernies that come close to the ideas attributed to him.
