In reply to the discussion: Bernie demands that Democrats accept 100% of his platform? WTF? [View all]cally
(21,589 posts)I always believed he did not support women's rights, minority rights, and environmental protection as much as his other platforms. I did not trust him on those issues. When he said that Hillary was not qualified--that did it for me. I made up my mind to support Hillary at that time. You don't say that about the first woman candidate for President who was obviously qualified. You may not agree with her but she was qualified!!! It showed me that Bernie did not understand women's issues and did not retract his statement even when others said it was sexist.
Please do not perpetuate the idea that people like me are not progressive because we did not agree with the candidate you choose. I am not calling you not progressive even though I find those who do not put environmental justice, women's and minority justice first are wrong.
