Bernie alumni seek meeting to address 'sexual violence' on ‘16 campaign
https://www.politico.com ^ | 12/30/2018 | ALEX THOMPSON

More than two dozen women and men who worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign are seeking a meeting with the senator and his top political advisers to “discuss the issue of sexual violence and harassment on the 2016 campaign, for the purpose of planning to mitigate the issue in the upcoming presidential cycle,” according to a copy of letter obtained by POLITICO.

“In recent weeks there has been an ongoing conversation on social media, in texts, and in person, about the untenable and dangerous dynamic that developed during our campaign,” they wrote.

Organizers of the effort said they did not intend for the letter to become public, but they confirmed that they sent it to senior Sanders officials on Sunday afternoon.

The letter does not give information on specific incidents. So, what exactly has happened? Will the FBI start an investigation? Will the media join the fray?

"...sexual harassment prevalent in the ‘Feel The Bern’ presidential candidacy and campaign..."


EVERYONE knew that was happening in the Bernie Sanders camp during the campaign.
Ladies, definitely step forward and share your stories so we can commence the healing.
MeToo.

Sounds like a conflict on the left between the “anything goes sex culture” types and the puritanical meetoo faction. Someone didn’t get the memo that sexual harassment claims are only meant to target conservatives.

Generally whining about the need of feminism and sexual crimes (of men) has direct relationship with the amount of feminism so far from being a solution, more feminism just causes more whining. You can easily see this in places like Holyweird, Sweden, and the campaign mentioned here, they are by far the most supposedly enlightened places about women yet theres more whining and caterwauling than anywhere else.

“Feel the Bern” was a double entendre smack full of sexually charged innuendo. It obviously created a hostile work environment and made people feel uncomfortable. They should arrest the guy who approved that slogan.

Let's hope that Bernie gets the Democrat nomination this time. 'Course, all those female Red Guards in his troop will conveniently ignore the Great Leader's foibles.

Give all for the COMMUNIST REVOLUTION!

If they’re faking or exaggerating or making a big deal out of something that isn’t as is the trend to encourage nowadays I’d definitely recommend that. Even to relations. Because I don’t only have female friends and family to protect I also have male friends and family.

As expected, it sort of quietly disappeared into the mist. Laws are only for little people and conservatives.
