Where is Bernie Sanders on Gender Justice?

56. I think the article highlights one of the BS campaign weaknesses

Just as is the case with BLM, if someone sat down and talked to Bernie, they would come away thinking he is 100% behind women and the issues that are important to them.

And, just as is the case with BLM, the BS campaign has not marketed, tailored a message properly to this Democratic constituency. It's the difference between running for Senate in a relatively small, homogeneous state where many actually know him and running a national campaign for President.

Marketing and outreach to each constituency matters. The reason Hillary's campaign has fewer problems in this area is she already has this covered. She's done work globally on women's issues.

I know this post is about form over substance, but it gets to the heart of some of the bad blood that percolates around here.

People ask questions about BS positions on important issues to their particular group. The campaign gets caught a bit flat footed because their campaign message is more homogeneous, less tailored.

Then BS supporters get offended by the questions, knowing their guy does support that group's concerns.

I keep saying it, I'll try again here: It's not a weakness of BS, it's a weakness of his campaign. This messaging issue is what makes comparisons to President Obama circa 2007 ineffective; the Obama campaign was better at this.

There's no conspiracy against BS here. All we're seeing is a Vermont campaign strategy struggling to adjust its marketing, messaging to a national level where people don't know BS as well.
