In reply to the discussion: Where is Bernie Sanders on Gender Justice? [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)It;s one thing to defend Sanders (and the peopel who support him) against those who say he is "too radical" and "too far left" or a socialist ideologue or whatever.
But 180 degree distortions of what he is at his core....that's a bridge too far.
Your problem with him, as yo are expressing it, is that you object to his tone, or something or other, exemplified in that situation. Therefore you portray that as a lack of empathy, awareness, supportiveness......He may have been a little bit flatfooted in a situation where many people were caught flatfooted. (Including Clinton).... He's only human, and at the moment he has a lot on his plate.
But if you look at the totality of his actions and statements and positions over the years.....oh why bother?
