In reply to the discussion: Where is Bernie Sanders on Gender Justice? [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)after throwing hat in the ring and 3 months later digging in heals standing only on economic justice, that he FINALLY relented and has allowed blacks to sit at the table. it took all of us DEMANDING that sanders allow blacks to sit at the table. he has finally relented and welcomed them with marginally open arms.
so.... sanders, you are welcome. i and others took a lot of hits, encouraging sanders to become inclusive, from day one of just the time of sanders exploring a run. a couple of du voices are paying now with very long time outs from du.
it will behooves sanders to be inclusive. and will only do more so to welcome women, gays and latinos at the table, too.
or
we can start all over again, to convince sanders and supporters that we dems, a part of the party WILL be sitting at the table with voice or vote.
some people do not learn the lesson first time round.
