In reply to the discussion: Civil Rights Hero John Lewis Isn't Impressed By Bernie Sanders' Civil Rights Activism [View all]Chrissmithistaken
(1 post)I am asking this sincerely. As I try to learn more about Sanders (I really knew nothing really about him until recently, so I am not trying at all to pretend to be an expert), I just learned that he worked for Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign previously. That seems like a really important sign of bona fide good faith. I mean, this was at a time when a lot of people were even annoyed at Jesse Jackson for daring to disrupt the party and possibly split the party and things like that.
Like I said, I'm still trying to get caught up with the political situation right now, but I am really surprised that I found this information only after a lot of googling and stuff. I'm having a hard time finding solid info, but it seems based on what I've read so far, that the Clintons did not endorse Jackson or anything.
So ... what am I missing about that?
