111. What do you mean "I admit that it is true"?

I said he talked about standing with working people, of ALL races, in the ongoing fight workers of all races are in with the rich.

That isn't the same as saying that is ALL he fought for or cared about. He was always as anti-oppression in practice as any other Dem candidate.

You are the one that stated that his concern was economic justice.

he ran for the presidency-there HAD to be some sort of economic justice candidate in the race or none of those issues would have even come close to being addressed,

You said he was the 'economic justice candidate" with no mention of social justice.

The issue of Bernie marching was raised simply because he was slandered as not caring about racism, and his supporters were also slandered on that point simply because they didn't desert the guy. His involvement in the freedom movement proved that wasn't true. Unlike the essay, it matters.

Not sure why you'd even bring the march issue up here.

Well, you said his essay was irrelevant since it happened 45 years ago. Yet the topic of the march was brought up often and mostly disproved...so therefore the fact that he may have marched once, that should be a irrelevant point as well since it happened so many years ago. Once does not a civil activist make. You can't have this both ways.

Look, I have said and will continue to say that Bernie shouldn't run. Continuing to argue that he shouldn't have been permitted in our primaries pr that he caused Trump's rise to power is "refighting the primaries".

Where did I argue "that he shouldn't have been permitted in our primaries"? Where did I say that? These are your words, not mine. I am not refighting the primaries, that is you. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Bernie's campaign HAD to happen because no other candidate fought for the working and kept-from-working poor. If HRC had acknowledged the validity of discussing class and economic inequality ALONG with the issues she defined as "social justice", Bernie probably WOULD have exited the race early on. And she could have included the economic justice agenda WITH the social justice agenda and lost no votes from anyone.

OMG! You did it again. Economic Justice is the burning issue with you and as you state that it with Bernie as well.

This makes me so sad.

What she defined as "social issues"???????????????????/ WTF???? She did NOT DEFINE THE ISSUES! THE VOTERS DID. She was for us and all our concerns, financially and socialy. She fought for all our concerns.

Why the hell do you dwell in the primaries. Let it go, Ken.
