So because it doesn't help minorites enough, it's a bad idea?yep, let's give everyone a free* education so that black people, hispanic people, and women can STILL earn less than white men.
that'll fix the institutional sexism and racism that the backbone of the democratic party is affected by.
You don't think humans are animals?
So why are you such an ardent supporter of them?
i don't think that the women and people of color who represent the backbone of the democratic party are asking for anyone to put them in an institutionally unfair situation one tax bracket level upwards.
Ty, you make a claim of "Sanders the inclusive candidate" and then create excuses why he didn't win. In another disagreement that we've had regarding whether or not the country is in fact progressive -- as shown in opinion polls -- I point to actual votes in most states that definitely gave the nod to a right wing candidate with policies that are opposite of what the opinion poll said. Again, you toss in "corruption", "corporate money" and so forth.
We suggest accomplishing that through economic reforms that benefit the poor and middle-class. How do you suggest doing that? By "breaking down the barriers!"?
so far, you've named free* college. doesn't matter what education level you attain, black people, hispanic people, and women still earn less than white men no matter the level of educational attainment.
Increasing the minimum wage to a living wage and indexing it to inflation. Single payer healthcare. Paid maternity leave. Paid vacation time. Tax reform. Campaign finance reform. Financial reform to name a handful. All of which would help poor and middle-class people of all colors and genders
I didn't 'create excuses', I made an analysis.
He's got mocking because he can't be bothered with policy discussions.
I know "that's what you think". I'm saying you are wrong. Most states in this country vote for right wing candidates. Maybe that's changing. It's not going to go all liberal at once. That's what I think.
We really aren't far apart at all.
Then, let Perez do his job. He's not the bad boy "establishment" you make him out to be. I'm watching closely but haven't seen the sell-out you make it out to be.
What would change your opinion about Perez?
I fear that his job is to herd the wayward into the Establishment Democratic camp.
Why do most voters support single payer healthcare, including 46% of Republicans? Why do most voters support raising the minimum wage to a living wage? Universal college? Paid maternity leave and paid time off? All of these are progressive positions.
My theory is that NEITHER party represents the desires of the majority of the people, and we're seeing a whipsaw effect based on The very frustration with the current party in power and their failure to be responsive to our needs.
I'm trying to be objective. Believe me when I tell you that I support this movement wholeheartedly!
