What do my fellow Sanders supporters say to this?

[LostOne4Ever]

23. I have mainly been trying to stay out of the primary wars going on

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]But I want to say that I fully believe that Sanders would NEVER support such an evil proposition. Look at his record and his history. He has been an ally for social justice for decades upon decades!

• He marched with MLK.



• He took a stance in favor of LGBTQ rights back in the 70's



• He has and remains a staunch supporter of women's rights

Nor has his service to social justice gone unnoticed. Look at his scorecard from NAACP, GLAAD, and the ACLU. All of them gave him sky high marks for his positions and votes in congress. It is his record of social justice and his insistence on accepting financial support only from people that are the main reasons I finally got off the fence and decided to support Sanders. With Sanders, I firmly feel that the issues most important to me (Social justice) he won't be throwing us under the bus for short term political gain.

As for the post you are referring to, I find it disgusting. There can be no economic justice without social justice and suggesting that we throw people's LIVES under the bus just to spite corporations is one of the most vile things I have seen on DU.

If I would have been on that jury or the one for the post where the OP accused another poster of being part of the Taliban left I would have voted to hide both times.

I will never support sacrificing innocent people lives and rights for my own economic gain. The very idea infuriates me beyond what I can describe in words!

Who need enemies with allies like that?
