Bernie Sanders is the most feminist 2020 candidate, as far as I'm concerned

If you support Bernie Sanders, then you are probably an entitled young white guy. A Bernie bro. Someone who purports to support progressive ideas, but is really a raging misogynist who could never vote for a woman. We heard this message ad infinitum during the 2016 primaries; Gloria Steinem even accused young female Sanders supporters of only supporting him over Hillary Clinton because “the boys are with Bernie”. Which was an incredibly bizarre thing for a feminist to say.

Now that the 2020 primaries have kicked off, we are being told once again that Sanders is the brocialist choice, and that he doesn’t connect with women, particularly non-white women. This isn’t entirely inaccurate – just look at Sanders’ recent performance at She the People, a presidential forum for women of colour. When asked what he would do to combat white supremacist violence as president, Sanders reminded everyone he was at the March on Washington with Dr Martin Luther King in 1963. This non-answer justifiably drew loud boos and groans. Sanders didn’t help his cause when, visibly annoyed, he then wagged his finger at the audience in a condescending manner.

Here’s the thing: universal healthcare is a feminist issue. Widening access to education is a feminist issue. A foreign policy that doesn’t involve constantly bombing other countries is a feminist issue. Refusing to cozy up to Saudi Arabia is a feminist issue. Calling out Israel for its treatment of Palestinians is a feminist issue. As far as I’m concerned, Sanders is the most feminist candidate in the race. Nevertheless, as the primaries progress, I’m sure we’re going to hear a lot more about how he just doesn’t get women.

Has the Bernster mentioned the proper way to beat the wife yet? I'm pretty sure it's a feminist issue.

Bernie is a weeping willow-wristed, equivalent of a French rifle.

Bernie is maybe the most girlie-girl of the whole bunch. He even beats out Robert Francis O’Rourke.

‘We heard this message ad infinitum during the 2016 primaries; Gloria Steinem even accused young female Sanders supporters of only supporting him over Hillary Clinton because “the boys are with Bernie”.’

Is she saying women should vote for a candidate based on what resides between their legs?

That is disgusting - and this guy thinks it’s so compassionate and correct.

I would like those who have COEXIST stickers on their cars to explain how coexistence with people whose views are so diametrically opposed to yours is possible.

One of my closest millennial friends (as much as a Boomer can have a close millennial friend) is female and a Berniebot. I 100% disagree with her, but I also have to respect her, because she believes in him for the same reason I believed in McGovern when I was her age in '72: because we were idealists who want America to be the best it can be for its people. The difference is that I grew up, and as long as she has more than the leftist voices in her ear, she should too.

Sanders is very strange, and evidently obsessed with sex.

He also sounds like the aardvark from “Ant and the Asrdvark”.

Hard to take that voice seriously...

Communist. That covers it all. Feminism, Ecologism, all the isms are covered by Communism. Every ism is useful only as a tool to promote Communism thus you have the phenomenon of "feminists" crushing women or sweeping women aside in the name of Women's Rights."

What we have in this election campaign is one or two genuine Communists running in a pack of a crowd of wannabe Communists.

Not counting on it; working on it. I may not get all the starfish back in the sea, but I might get this one.
