Bernie Sanders Has Stuck To The Same Message For 40 Years. hillary?...not so much.

[JDPriestly]

70. Basic values like honesty, fairness, sharing, families, the basic values we all share

do not change.

Bernie was for LGBT rights from the beginning.

He supported the rights of women from the beginning.

He doesn't need to change his views on those topics because he always based his views on the value of equality of all humans, of the importance of family and fairness.

The world evolves, but the basic values and attitudes on basic issues do not change with time.

Slavery was always wrong even when our Supreme Court ruled that slaves were property. Slavery was simply wrong.

Discrimination against people based on their gender or sexual orientation is wrong. It is eternally wrong in a society that holds the value of equality.

There are things that change, and there are things that do not change. If you have the basic value that all men are created equal, then it is not so difficult to decide what to do about discrimination. If you believe that we should all have free speech, it is not difficult to decide that an amendment that would make flag-burning a crime should be voted against.

Hillary does not think of her values and then decide where to stand on an issue. I don't know what her process is or even if she has one. Bernie has a process. It is very obvious when you look at his views on topics.

Take the TPP. Bernie believes that employers should pay a living wage in a country as prosperous as ours has been. The TPP allows for the importation of goods made by people who work for wages that are not livable in foreign countries where we cannot see the terrible poverty and the terrible wealth.

Our trade agreements work to lower wages in the US. Since he wants to see wages raised to a livable level, Bernie opposes our current trade policy.

Hillary does not even talk about a livable wage. She just wants to tweak the minimum wage, make it a tiny bit higher, not really raise it to a livable rate and then import products made by cheap labor overseas.

Hillary does not have the value of a living wage. It's quite clear. It is not something that determines her views on world trade. It is a kind of afterthought for her. Oh, yes, we should include raising the minimum wage in our policy platform. But let's not raise it too much because my donors who pay those wages won't want to give me so much money if I stand up for working families.

That's as close as I can come to what Hillary's thought processes are about her policy stances.

Feel the Bern!
