(11,972 posts)According to Hillary, he only has one issue, Wall Street. There is some irony in hearing him criticized for having too many big focuses in his platform, when his opponent is saying he has too few.
In terms of rhetoric, I'd say he has three big issues... Wall Street (which is common-speak for combatting oligarchy), health care (i.e. medicare for all), and education (i.e. free public college).
I understand you question his priorities, and he certainly talks about many other things as well (climate change, infrastructure, civil rights, etc.) but when there are so many big, important things to deal with, no matter which on or two or three things he chose to focus on, there's no way everyone will agree that those were the perfect ones to choose to "go big" on. I'd say it's tough to even get it down to three, and you wish it were fewer!
