(9,768 posts)Because Bernie has stood up for those issues when they mattered. He wasn't willing to "compromise" on a women's right to their own body. The same can't be said for many other democrats.
I could not care LESS about if he called this cause or that cause a "wedge issue." So long as he at the end of the day he fights for the issues we care about and makes the right votes. Which is why his ratings with NOW/PP/ACLU/ect ratings are all so high.
And while people like Mello do suck, he is still a democrat. Keeping republicans out of office even with DINOs like that will do more good than letting any republican win instead.
Heck, Trump is in office doing immense harm to women's right in large part because of people who refused to vote for Hillary because she wasn't perfect on this issue or that issue. Bernie got that/gets that and that is why he told his supporters to vote for Hillary.
Cause he has always voted with the little people. Male and female and his record proves it.
