35. Bernie Sanders' greatest contribution
Fri Jul 10, 2015, 04:31 PM
Jul 2015

is to provide a foil for Hillary.

Her distinguished record of accomplishments vs. his great gift for naming post offices.

His "long held anti-oppression views" that no one ever heard about vs. Hillary's willingness to put skin on the line in Pride psrades, in working as SOS for programs to empower African women, her marching straight into the belly of the beast and proclaiming the "women's rights are human rights, her uncompromising stand as SOS for abortion rights before Senate Republicans.

Her commitments to social justice vs. Sanders' "economic justice" for the upper middle class.

Etc.
