Bernie Sanders
In reply to the discussion: "I do think PoC are are after-thought for Bernie ... [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)11. I agree completely.

What is sickening is that they are arguing that economic justice don't really matter even though people are dying from lack of funds for food, heating or a/c. They are so concerned that Oprah is getting accosted in a posh store yet do not seem to care that their choice of ignoring economic issues leaves people to die for lack of money. I have yet to get a good answer to why we can't fight for all people and all causes. Why do we have to pick one or the other? Ignoring either one leads to deaths one way or another. Who are they to choose something like that?
