If you think HRC focused on social justice more than economic justice [View all]

It is because you don't care about social justice and it likely doesn't apply to you

As someone who needs both to live, I found her to be very focused on both.

Not one to the exclusion of the other.

If you didn't maybe its because you believe social justice should be secondary to economic justice. Not equal to, but inferior to.

Mahalo, La Lioness Cha Dec 2016 #1

So what criticisms can one level about how HRC handled economic justice? el_bryanto Dec 2016 #2

I'd say ones that do not perpetuate the lie that it cost her the election. bettyellen Dec 2016 #3

Hmmmm so we aren't allowed to critisize how she handled the campaign el_bryanto Dec 2016 #4

Better a half loaf than nothing at all leftofcool Dec 2016 #10

Yeah that'd be great - if your candidate had won. But I don't think she did. nt el_bryanto Dec 2016 #12

"Your candidate?" mcar Dec 2016 #34

As I've said elsewhere I voted for Clinton - I wanted her to win. el_bryanto Dec 2016 #49

That means she was your candidate too. So you should have said "Our candidate", right? nt stevenleser Dec 2016 #68

Well I said that after the election - technically she's nobodys candidate el_bryanto Dec 2016 #72

I was specific about perpetuating the nonsense it was a deciding factor. bettyellen Dec 2016 #18

Ones based in actual fact La Lioness Priyanka Dec 2016 #5

Just a suggestion, but this is not the appropriate website to trash Democrats. n/t Lil Missy Dec 2016 #7

Ah - ok. el_bryanto Dec 2016 #8

Is Bernie a Democrat now? When did he change from being Independent? leftofcool Dec 2016 #11

Just confirming - you can crap on Bernie Sanders and his supporters el_bryanto Dec 2016 #14

Clearly, there are plenty of people dumping on both Hillary and Bernie. TwilightZone Dec 2016 #15

Bernie is not a Democrat, nor are many of his supporters. This is not the place to trash Democrats. Lil Missy Dec 2016 #33

No its not. Especially given the rules GummyBearz Dec 2016 #56

He was "registered" as a Democrat for a couple minutes. Before and after he was Independent, Lil Missy Dec 2016 #58

Some people see what they want to see. And perhaps still smarting about ... someone else ...... Lil Missy Dec 2016 #6

The people insisting that economics is the answer to everything seem to want an easy solution. TwilightZone Dec 2016 #9

Her policies addressed both, but due to Trump's rhetoric she focused more on one NoGoodNamesLeft Dec 2016 #17

She won on the economy, including in the rust belt states, TwilightZone Dec 2016 #26

I think she was covered more or social issues, then on economic issues La Lioness Priyanka Dec 2016 #39

I truly don't think anyone here believes that. Ken Burch Dec 2016 #32

Why is it so important for you to minimize my concerns La Lioness Priyanka Dec 2016 #35

Concerns can be raised without accusing people of planning to betray or exclude you. Ken Burch Dec 2016 #66

you act as though you experience the world, or DU, or democrats the same way i do La Lioness Priyanka Dec 2016 #69

I know you and I experience the world differently. Ken Burch Dec 2016 #70

Agree with all you said! Madam45for2923 Dec 2016 #37

One could accuse you of being wealthy for the same simple reasons. RadiationTherapy Dec 2016 #38

one could, but one would be amusingly wrong. nt La Lioness Priyanka Dec 2016 #40

Precisely. I am similarly amused at the assessment in your op. RadiationTherapy Dec 2016 #41
