2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Where is Bernie Sanders on Gender Justice? [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)and that is what i expect of me democratic candidate, to be my advocate.
planned parenthood was being attacked. he stated, he did not watch the video but agreed with the president of PP apology about the tone of the video.
i feel that not only did he not take the opportunity to stand with women and support PP, but he actually harmed us with a dismissal, and validating the accusations by merely agree with the apology and ignoring all the other stuff the president of PP had said that day.
a weeks or so later, he came out with a statement.
but at the time of chaos, i feel he did more harm than even being neutral keeping his mouth shut, since he did not have time to educate himself.
how much of an advocate for women? i dont know. we will have to wait and see. i have seen nothing since.
