    NEW: Previously unreported claims of sexism, harassment, and gender-based pay discrimination plagued Bernie Sanders 2016 campaign. And now, as he considers running in 2020, some women want long held concerns addressed.

        Jeff Weaver, Sanders' 2016 campaign manager, expressed some regret with how the 2016 operation was run. “Was it too male? Yes. Was it too white? Yes,” he said. “Would this be a priority to remedy on any future campaign? Definitely."https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/02/us/politics/bernie-sanders-campaign-sexism.html …

        I'm glad to retweet Nancy Pelosi; she is the most accomplished in Congress, and we owe ACA legislative action to her; in fact, if Senate was willing to go along with HER version, ACA would have had public option. Bernie failed to influence the Senate to accept what she passed..

        The Senate including Bernie (and Bernie was on the HELP Committee then too) passed the ACA and sent back to the House and that is the version that got passed. Please learn the specifics. You will know who truly accomplished something in healthcare and who has been grandstanding.

        United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Committee_on_Health%2C_Education%2C_Labor_and_Pensions … Bernie is one of the senior members - 2nd most senior - on the LEFT side on this Committee. We had blue majority. He failed. He was part of passing a lesser version.

        Spkr Pelosi managed to get that Senate-passed version into the budget in the nick of time for passage of continuing resolution. That is how ACA passed, without public option. If the Senate passed the House-passed (NP's version), we would have had public option now for 10 yrs.

        So, yes, I will RT Nancy Pelosi. And I hope you will too. Democrats are progressive and Democrats have made progress, not just pretend/pontificate/pushback on the most progressive thing presented.

        No... to smear someone without properly following the ledes. “It is not clear whether Mr. Sanders knew of the complaints.” “Some women said the fledgling 2016 campaign was disorganized and decentralized, which made it hard to know who to turn to in the case of mistreatment.”

        It's not a smear to say that a campaign that had problems with gender balance and sexual harassment had problems with gender balance and sexual harassment.

        And it is a smear to present sanders as a participant and then bury the truth in the bottom of the story - especially knowing many low information voters get news from the headlines alone.

        I don't think the article says he knew about the claims, but this does support my belief that the campaign was disorganized. Some of those complaints should absolutely have made it up the chain, and it doesn't look like they did.

        Eh. There should still be enough structure that something like sexual harassment claims get to the top. Not necessarily Sanders himself, but when they're not even sure where the complaints went? Eh.

        I believe this. Organizational culture flows down from the top, and Bernie himself has refused to acknowledge the needs of women, minorities, queer people etc. "Identity politics" is code for "I didn't care about issues that don't affect me personally."

        Remember that time he yielded the stage at a rally to a pair of BLM protesters? What followed was him regularly meeting with their leadership to better address their needs. I get that this wasn't a strength of his, but don't turn him into a fascist.

        Yielded the stage looking flustered not graceful. It's a failing of his that he can't deal with topics that aren't pre-prepared. A President needs to do better. And immediately afterward, when asked how he felt about the interruption, he said "it's unfortunate because...

        "Among other things" Talk about tone deaf. I *definitely* don't see that as a high point for Bernie Sanders & race relations. That was, for me, the first crack in his facade. I still voted for him in the 16 primary bc I thought he could learn better, but even now he's the same.

        It's too early yet, & I haven't looked into all the names being put forth as possible candidates, but I will say so far that Kamala Harris has been very vocal about women's issues, reproductive issues, with an emphasis on WOC, & does so in a way that doesn't frame it a sidenote.

        It's the framing of gender and race as a sub-issue, only an aside, PART of a more important class issue that makes ppl feel like they really don't matter. If it's framed as important on its own merits, then ppl feel heard & feel like something might actually get done for them.
