(3,431 posts)but, pardon me, to expect the same great enthusiastic from
a former "rebel" as from young frustrated women, may be a bit
much.However, I think he is taking the right steps.
Here is something that is bothering me a little. The claim
that Sandernistas are steadily rubbing Bernie's past into
the AA's "nose". You see, I am happy to know where the
candidates stood for years. I pay little attention to the
present campaign talks. So for me it is important that
Bernie has been consistent all the time, and no, I don't
want to tell other people about what he fought for
should be reason enough to vote for him. However,
again, that is important to me.
I am happy that BLM confronted him, they have more
than enough grievances to do so. I hope that he will
now talk directly to the AA community and address
their problems.
