Hey!! Who will look out for us? The same who has always been doing it, OURSELVES. Hillary is lackluster but she hires us for her staff and positions of power. She is great on women and children issues, I am woman and I have children...
Bernie... Cannot see how having him would help me at all. I can never get a straight answer on how he would get ANYTHING done, except vague answers of 'millions in the streets'. Not happnin.
He also is third way on social justice and believes social equality will come through econimic equality and failed to gain full understanding of how we are shut out and limited in the economic culture, refused jobs, our prison populations means our fair share will not be as big as YOUR fair share. The white share will always be fairer. Just like Animal Farm. Animals like me are less than animals like you therefore DESERVE and RECIEVE less, regardless of talent or skill. Bernie is to the right of me on both economic and social justice because of his misunderstandings on the significance of race when discussing economics.
People seem to love fdr too but he ALSO was a right wing thrid wayer on race and social justice in trading off the economic well being of black domestics and black veterans of the millitary from the New Deal. We have been done wrong and Bernie is similar to fdr imo.
