Some policies perpetuate existing inequities- favoring free college while leaving lower levels of bettyellen May 2017 #55
I don't think that Sanders is leaving the lower end schools to fend for themselves, and when you JCanete May 2017 #56
At some point he revised his platform to include it, so he evolved on this. bettyellen May 2017 #57
That is not what I said, nor what such legislation would do. It would make the rich JCanete May 2017 #64
I'm confused as I put no words in your mouth? I said Sanders revised his platform to bettyellen May 2017 #73

No, is love more money to go to education but the inequity at lower grades is astounding.... bettyellen May 2017 #76
I agree that's huge. Higher education does not give redress to that, even if, I still believe, it JCanete May 2017 #79
You know the overlap is so huge w Sanders and Hillary it makes me NUTS to hear bettyellen May 2017 #86

Your post is wrong on so many levels BainsBane May 2017 #58
no, from the start you totally misread me. I'll read on to see what else you misread, but JCanete May 2017 #60
Okay, here's one thing that irritates me, and I'm not sure this is the fault of the media or JCanete May 2017 #65
And why should Sanders know better than those voters themselves? BainsBane May 2017 #67
what does that even mean? Everybody thinks they know better, especially if they are a politician. JCanete May 2017 #70
You are telling them to be careful not to alienate Sanders base BainsBane May 2017 #97
