This is why I find some of Bernie's comments in the past week to be so concerning. Fighting for women's rights doesn't happen when we're not rigid on the support of choice, and this affects all the other things like income and welath equality, etc.

If he's willing to compromise on basic human rights and endorses a candidate against these, including preventing insurance from covering women's reproductive care, and wants us to embrace Trump voters who are the very antithesis of racial justice, then I need Bernie to stop insulting Democrats, opining on speaking fees, and get on board with the party he's refusing to join.

If he's going to be with us, then support us, and not just "for the most part", get all in. Single payer, a living wage, not some rigid number that's meaningless almost immediately, etc.
