http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Bernie_Sanders_Gun_Control.htm All the candidates stands on gun control. Bernie gets a D- from the NRA.

Bernie only voted for was in Afghanistan. The rest of the votes on "expanded military spending" was to protect the troops, you know the people actually fighting, with armor and such.

Policy is more important than rhetoric, as we have learned, politicians lie. If Bernie doesn't talk about every single social problem and each section that has problems, it's because he says so many other things that is important in EVERYONE'S lives, not just one segment of society. He is inclusive, or haven't you noticed.

And, if it hadn't occurred to you, having well paying jobs will help all of society, especially women and minorities. Just think how much easier it would be for a woman to leave an abusive relationship if she could actually have a job that could support herself and her children.

BTW, fixing societal issues does not fix economic ones. Fixing economic issues CAN help societal issues.
