(5,621 posts)those people are NOT living hand to mouth. I would say that the majority of Bernie supporters have their future survival in doubt. We knot just how hard it is to survive, I'm guessing you don't.
While many here quote social justice as their main concern, those of us who are hanging on by our fingernails are more concerned about economic justice. With Bernie we get both, social AND economic justice. With Hillary, we get only one, social justice, and that's only because it is now law. We will not get economic justice with her, just as we didn't get it with Obama. The closest we got with Obama is the ACA.
When you have worked all your life and the company steals your pension and the government let's them get away with it, and you are forced to work at Walmart, to make ends meet, then tell me how angry you should be. Or when you are "promised" by the government that if you play by the rules, get a good education, you can get a good job and live a good life. Only they changed the rules, and you end up $50,000 or more in debt and there are no jobs available, because they have been off shored.
Your reply is the very definition of Limousine Liberal.
