(10,558 posts)You brought up agreeing with a Sanders supporter. I pointed out my feelings about economic equality based on my honest feelings-feelings I have had long before coming to DU-feelings that Senator Sanders has spoken to long before he threw his hat in the ring. As you might recall most of Senator Sanders's campaign was based on economic inequality.
I watched all of each of the debates. I do not recall Senator Clinton's discussions being as strong around economic equality as was Senator Sanders's. I've further reasons for skepticism that a President Clinton will do as well as a President Sanders when it comes specifically to economic changes that narrow inequalities but the primaries are over, Senator Clinton is the nominee. DU is no longer the place for such debate anyway.
I do find it interesting though, now that you've made the bruha over this, just how many other fellow DUer's made a case for economic equality in this thread prior to mine. Was it not that important regardless of whom one supported?
My feelings about equality are not about to change, nor will my perspective on how economic royalists see the rest of us. My sense of how our government has drifted to oligarchy since President Carter's time is not likely to change either. Perhaps if you find me that offensive you might just want to bid me a nice day and hit the ignore button.
