In reply to the discussion: Where is Bernie Sanders on Gender Justice? [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)Go to his website and another one that a supporter set up "Feelthebern" ...Read about his actions (legislative and otherwise) and his positions, statements and whatever else you think is relevant to this issue. Also look at his Senate website.... (You can type in "women" or something else on the search box on that.)
Use Google if you want to know more. Enter "Bernie Sanders,...." add "women" and whatever issues you care about and see what comes up. Ditto to above.
If you find instances where has has said or done something specific that you feel is wrong, go ahead and post that. Be prepared for a reaction from people, but if you state it in a clear way in good faith, people are more likely to respond and debate it honestly. Maybe some will agree with you. (Of course, this being DU you'll get other types of responses too, but that goes with the territory.)
(Note: He wrote something stupid and obnoxious in the early 1970's that has made the rounds. He has acknowledged that it was stupid.)
If you think he needs to be clearer in his campaign, send his campaign a note or give them a call and suggest that. They want to know what people think.
Finally, refrain from generalized "concern" posts or re-posts of opinion pieces that suggest he is not overall sensitive to women's issues, or has a "problem" and is struggling with women. That's not gonna fly.
