(34,648 posts)I am ambivalent. But have I witnessed this from her side? No. Did you read the posts?
I am saying she is right of him on economics and he is not this social justice warrior who has been doing all these grand things for fifty years, so calm down. He is just the flip side of her and I am to both of their lefts on every damn thing so I have no idea why people imbue him with god like leftist perfection when he does not even hit on the things I want like giving back land to the Native American tribes and giving them another chamber of congress with voting rights that have weight in the senate just as much as a regular vote and it should not be contingent on how high there population is but be a set number and they can also run for regular senate seats. We never see them because we refuse to bring them up like maybe they do not exist but they do. And their voice is limited and nobody discusses it so no, one is not better than the other. Neither will get anything done but only one notices diversity. It is not him. She may pay lip service, but he is stuck in books and doesn't notice people or change much. She hires us and goes around campaigning for black politicians and we need that. I do not really see that he campaigns for us and cannot find anything so if you do please show me.
He is also a pessimist which I hate.
