Where is Bernie Sanders on Gender Justice?

[Armstead]

57. That's a reasonable response, although I disagree about the nature of these things

Sander's campaign has been in its formative stages. So, yeah, there's always an ongoing need to bring it all up to speed.

And if people were to legitimately point out areas where Sander's campaign falls short in "style" that'd be one thing.

And campaigns are contests, and heated debate about differences over issues is always inevitable. And no "side" is totally innocent.

But this Rovian tactic of deliberately distorting a candidate's deeply held and lifelong values and priorities to confuse the actual content debate by lying about what he has done is what angers Sanders supporters.

Bernie basically got ambushed at a public forum, and somehow that morphs into him being "insensitive to the needs of blacks" and, worse that he doesn't give a damn about it. And that his supporters are a "white progressives" are portrayed as bigots and racists.

Which is totally opposite from reality. And is a whole lot different than reasonably pointing out insufficiency in certain marketing materials, or not being precise enough about particular issuesin the texts of his speeches.

The OP here, and the statements by Clinton supporters, strikes me as an attempt to go back to the same well, this time using gender issues.

Complaining about the specific organizational placement of material on his website -- or his support of a massive infrastructure stimulus -- as evidence that Sanders is struggling with women's issues and reluctant to address them is just shit-stirring and grasping at straws to find more Rovian ammo.

And the same people who are willing to jump on Sanders with these claims, have no problem with the outright evasiveness of a certain candidate who -- when asked about two issues that are very important to many people (TPP and Keystone) -- that she "can't" take a position and even says "I'll tell you after I become president."
