Trump is exactly who he says he is. He shoots straight & keeps it honest, even if it's an uncomfortable position. It's WHY he was elected.

Is this supposed to be an equivalency? Trump is a flat out liar. You missed.

It's the same fallacious argument made by people who give points to politicians for how they talk, and not what's being said.

But Shaun isn't talking about HOW Bernie talks - Bernie is scrupulously honest. The CONTENT of what he says is right. This is a rarity.

but Bernie can't advocate for economic justice while supporting anti-choice candidates. abortion & birth control are socioeconomic issues !!

I hate to mention this but didn't Tim Kaine share an faith based opposition to abortion?

just because Kaine wouldn't get an abortion bc of his Catholic beliefs doesn't mean he wants to legislate them out of existence (1/2)

my issue is that Bernie's entire platform revolves around economic justice, which is directly hindered by anti-choice principles (2/2)

These are not just identity boxes of concern. Economic security IS a feminist issue and directly related to abortion access.

that's my point exactly! seems hypocritical to me that someone who cares so much abt economic justice can support a person whose policies

have significant financial consequences for many women (disproportionately WoC & poor women)

obviously Bernie is pro-choice, I just find it frustrating that these are the issues that he can compromise on. thanks for the discussion!

Doesn't seem to be a lot of diversity in the Bernie revolution. Especially not black women. Much rather have their voice than Bernie's

I'm one! And there are many more. Check out A Black Populist's twitter. We do exist and the numbers are growing as we find one another.

I'm not one and our anti-Bernie numbers are growing as well. He is not our great white hope!

And that's ok. It demonstrates we have as much diversity of opinion as any other group and they must court us. The community wins that way.

Thanks! I'm not as supportive as I was in past. But we also should use everybody to fight the disaster in WH. His voice and all others

I do think he's sucking O2 from others that we really need to start raising up

Well, I think he needs to start clarifying his endorsement decisions better to avoid misunderstandings like we're having right now.

I'd like him to choose five people in the Dem Party he likes and start sharing the stage with them. It can't be the Sanders experience
