I just wish he had learned that lesson for the 2016 election already and had been properly vocal back then. The US (and world) would be in a much better place now if Trump never had become president.
I think it was his personal antipathy towards Hillary. Which I think given his history of working with women was basically sexism. I’m glad he’s on-side now but the world would be very different if he had gotten over himself 8 years ago.
bernie supported hilary after the primary, and i would guess basically all of the people who voted for him in 2016 ultimately went on to vote for a woman, whether it was hilary or jill stein.
this accusation of sexism is pure character assassination.
Is it? Have you seen how he acted with Elizabeth Warren? I wouldn’t exactly call his support for Hillary full-throated, especially compared to his support of Biden. And I certainly wouldn’t say he exactly has a great record with women politicians.
