For Bernie, economic inequality is the biggest issue of his political life...

From a radio address that Bernie delivered in 1973:

For Hillary, economic inequality is nothing more than an issue to pander in current times in order to win the White House. A grand canyon size difference between both candidates.

And since 1973...what has he done to change anything in this regard?

The "one issue Bernie" isn't a resounding success in messaging because this world and this nations faces several issues, all at once.

The people who claim Bernie only cares about money are either dishonest or delusional. His record proves otherwise.

then excuse it, then be against it again, then ignore it, then declare it is actually a GOOD thing, etc., etc., at intervals decided by focus groups and polling and campaign contributors.

Some candidates are steadfast in being enthusiastic for war and Wall Street, some candidates are steadfast in being enthusiastic about the problem of income inequality. I know which candidate I am voting for, and I won't vote for war and Wall Street.
