35. Poverty is a women's issue.

Thu Jan 7, 2016, 09:46 PM

Jan 2016

Poverty disproportionately impacts women and minorities.

I don't trust a Wall Street politician to tackle it as well as others who are not.

This is why identity politics have become problematic. The surface gloss and shallow tribalism substitutes for substance.

Nah, thanks. I'll vote for the liberal.

If Elizabeth Warren runs, she's got me from the start.
