In reply to the discussion: Breaking News - Sanders now willing to work with TRUMP to raise the min. wage to 10.00 dollars [View all]WhiteTara
(29,670 posts)did wound me and although I am working to not be negative; I find it very difficult to let this pass as water over a duck. While Bernie may prove to be a savior of the world, he did say that he would enthusiastically work with Trump for his (Bernie's) goals and in the next breath capitulates on the $15.00 minimum wage...never mind his excoriation of Hillary's $12. proposal.
I have to say that my faith in men has been shattered during this election season. Where is Bernie demanding Trump's tax returns before he takes office...oh, he probably won't as that would bring up HIS refusal to submit his tax returns, right before he bought his 3rd house. Just little things like that make my hair stand on end with the horror of the knowledge that women will, for the foreseeable future once again be relegated to the back seat and the dust bin of history. Hillary was given impossible standards that Bernie is now ignoring for Trump. White men backing white men is what it appears on the surface; but maybe there is 20 dimensional chess going on and Bernie will save us all.
But let's all sing kumbaijah and have a jolly good time watching every advance we (as women and society) have made be reversed. As a white man, your privilege is secure; but I hope you'll join us on the 21st in the march for women in DC.
