The Root: Pipe Down, Bernie Sanders

183. So

Human rights are equal rights never spoke to you?


Millions of Americans live with autism—and we’ve got to do more to support them and their families. Never spoke to you?

“We should ban discrimination against L.G.B.T. Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry and work just like everybody else.” Never spoke to you?

“If we really want to strengthen families, then we have to finally, once and for all, have to fix our broken immigration system.” Never spoke to you?

On domestic policy, Clinton has struck a decidedly populist tone, emphasizing issues like college affordability, income inequality, and workplace policy reform to demonstrate her attention to Americans' basic economic concerns. She's stood behind the Affordable Care Act, arguing the Republicans would undo a law that's extended health insurance coverage to millions. And she's talking tough on Wall Street, accusing the GOP of having "mass amnesia" about the financial deregulation that preceded the last recession.

Her approach to economic issues like Wall Street reform and to social issues like gay rights and criminal justice reform is considerably more progressive than that pursued by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, during the 1990s - a fact that may have more to do with the passage of time than anything else.

While her campaign risks getting sidetracked by the continued focus on her use of a private email server as secretary of state, which has generated an avalanche of GOP attacks on her character and judgment, it's obvious Clinton's team would rather focus on her policy proposals. In the months since she announced her bid, she's delivered substantive speeches on green energy, higher education reform, foreign policy, and criminal justice reform, to name just a few.

So. None of this spoke to you?

Now we have trump that is going to take all our safety nets away. ACA, SS. Medicare. Medicade. PP. Snaps. Then our climate. Our lives. He will take our lives from us, yet none of this spoke to you.

Her unfavorables.

Hillary lost because she spent more time and effort telling the American people why they shouldn't vote for Trump instead of why they should vote for her. I admire Hillary and all that she has accomplished, but as a candidate her unfavorable s.

Sad you never listened to what she was for. You only listened to the perceived "unfavorable".
