In reply to the discussion: It tells us nothing at this point that HRC beats Bernie among women and poc. [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)44. if you are asking various groups to allow economic justice do the trick, we wont buy it.
if you are telling us sanders will have the same passion (and yes, i believe he has the passion and quite capable) of fighting for our social justice, without just counting on the trickle down of economic, that is a whole different story.
there. is that articulated better?
