to tell us that he failed. Have a lovely evening.

You posted above at 9:36. No?

Perhaps your mind is made up?

Why pretend otherwise?

pretending, there's only one thing, or person, that matters. For everything and everyone else, "there's a special place in hell".

Same diff

He share's President Obama's ideas that we are the United States of America not black/white/gay/straight/urban/rural etc.

So if you are looking for him to single out a specific group for special considerations you'll be disappointed.

Only an idiot would deny there are serious racial problems in this country.

The OP was expecting Bernie to appeal specifically to black voters. That's not his style. He's the type that stands for what he stands for because it's the right thing to do, not because he wants to gain favor with a specific subset of voters. I find no indication he's been willing to pander at any time in his life. I can't see him starting now.

was noted in the press and he had a run in with BLM. He also changed the way he spoke about it on the stump in a major way.
Is that pandering? Would people be expected not to notice, if he never spoke about it at all?

I know "his thing" up in NH was to avoid "wedge" issues at all costs.
As a woman- I think that is pandering to conservatives- at my expense.

that NH is over and SC is the prize. I would call it part of a "course correction" and not pandering. I'm not questioning his commitment, but the cynical part of me notices he waited until after Iowa and NH to make these moves.

That is what politicians do.

For me, I don't decide politically "as a woman". In fact I'd go so far to say as soon as I think a politician is pandering to me "as a woman" I turn them off and move on. I expect to be treated with basic human dignity and I expect the candidate of choice to treat world citizens with the same dignity.

I am a supporter of MADRE going back to the early 90's. Neither Democratic candidate has a specific policy position stated on their website for any of the specific world issues MADRE is working on. Personally, I just think there are far too many world problems the chosen leader of the United States has a platform to address for me to get all hot and bothered because they do not have my particular activist group at the top of their list. It's enough for me to know that at least one of the candidates offered has an overall platform designed to get the US out of many of the war zones that are causing so much suffering to women and children. This same candidate has spent a lifetime trying to expand worker rights and reign in the abuses of corporate America. I have faith that when the time comes to petition this candidate while in the White House for a policy that addresses specifics in these area, this one will show up for the fight and ask us all to grab our boxing gloves as well.

Pie in the sky maybe..... but it's always been how I work and will continue to do so.

too many progressive men, it is an afterthought, and it sucks. I don't like it went they are too chickenshit to stick up for us.
Planned Parenthood - and most of my rights- would not exist if I heavily supported candidates who look at womens' reproductive rights as a "wedge" that is inconvenient. I am glad Bernie is speaking up more, but he had to be pushed to.

All of the state will go bernie

There's also this...

It's going to be a contest, I don't think anyone is going to be walking away with it.
