(68,504 posts)the Democratic Party. I won't vote for him in a 2020 primary, but that has nothing to do with this. It is a women's conference. Maxine Waters a champion of human rights including woman's rights should have opened this conference. And as no one can deny Sen. Sanders has said things negative things about identity politics and planned parenthood as well...all of this adds up to Sen. Sanders was a bad choice for this conference, and if they were going to do this, it should have been done during the time, one could get the money back for a ticket... I am out over $100.00 plus the cost of the hotel room. I am not going now. I won't be so trusting next time if this group plans another event. The Women's march was great. This is very divisive and harkens back to the 2016 election in my opinion...we just don't need that. I hate to be cynical...but this looks like an effort to sell expensive tickets.
