"People for Bernie" says that Ds and Rs are basically the same. Promises to attack both.

188. Agreed

No offense to Elliot Rosewater, but I think defining liberals as putting social issues ahead of economic issues is not accurate. Economic issues and social issues are intertwined.

The problem with Bernie Sanders and many of his supporters (of which I was one in the primary) is that he focused almost exclusively on economic issues without addressing the specific social issues which lock many women and minorities out from economic justice. Bernie did not resonate with many people of color because he failed to address the additional obstacles that they face. We have to remember that even during the hay day of the Union movement in the 40's through the 60's, there was segregation and discrimination by Unions against Black Americans, Latinos, and women. Economic justice is never really guaranteed for ALL Americans, but social justice for Black people, Latinos, Asians, LGBT people, and Women does not mean LESS justice for other groups not mentioned. Liberal either do, or they certainly SHOULD be for both social and economic justice.
