I feel included when politicians discuss social issues and understand their impact

on individuals and make them front and center in policy.

What makes me not feel so included is when people say these issues are just ploys by unknown powers to prevent us from reaching the promiseland and keep us all divided.

It's been my problem with Bernie since day one. He has preached this message for 40 years, and he is attracting supporters who are now thinking that people who face this oppression are the ones preventing others from reaching the mountain top. When it fact it is the reverse.

It's horseshit.

Was surprised how much immigration reform had to do with the exploitation of workers for profit.
