Remember when Bernie said social justice must wait for economic justice?

107. He's right.

He's right in what he said. Period.

You're misrepresenting things a lot here. What Bernie is saying is that you should vote for the candidate who best represents your self interests and simply doing so based on someone's color of skin is wrong. People need to study candidates and know where they stand on the issues and get to know where their strengths and weaknesses are. We're seeing this exact same scenario now repeated with many Hillary voters with the attitude of "too many men, it's time for a woman" and that is the only reason why they're voting for Hillary.

Stuff like that is around all over the place and if the only reason you're voting for someone is because of their gender or skin color, we're doomed. It's incredibly ignorant and shallow on an epic scale.

Sanders is correct, people shouldn't be basing politics solely on someone's color of skin. In fact, that almost sounds like something Tea Baggers would do. You should be basing politics on how your family is doing and who could best do something to improve your life situation and circumstances. Who best represents your values and who best would stand up for you and your beliefs. When Bernie says "is the role of the billionaire class in American society" you need to understand that very issue trickles down and impacts many things, from tax cuts (money that should be going to the middle class and the poor) to education which he, myself and many others see as a human right. On and on it goes. It impacts a lot of things.

You need to look at the big picture.
