So I was watching a Bernie interview and the subject of women's rights came up from Donald's position that women having an abortion should be punished and Bernie made a comment about it being, and I'm paraphrasing, distracting. So I go to look up his position on women's rights and I find this Rolling Stone interview:
Weekend With Bernie
Sanders believes that by keeping his focus on economic populism, he has a shot — a long one, he admits — at beating the historical odds. "Once you get off of the social issues — abortion, gay rights, guns — and into the economic issues," he says, "there is a lot more agreement than the pundits understand."
His legislative history is actually far to the right of Hillary Clinton's when it comes to guns.

For one thing, gay rights are very important if you are a gay or a right winger. Gays want protection and civil liberties. Right wingers want gays dead.
Why Is the Media Ignoring Ted Cruz's Embrace of 'Kill the Gays' Pastor?
Women's rights are very important. To think that a woman's choice could, under the Republicans, be forced to be between having an unwanted child or a 1st degree murder charge is just awful.
And don't get me started on guns. Of course I believe people have the right to own a gun, but not crazies and not felons and not a 4 year old.
And look at his economic policies. The link from his site is above. Sure, we want new bridges. We want modern rails and airports. We want good roads. But where are the jobs that will pay for all that stuff. You can't build a railway unless there are people who ride it or goods that are carried on it. What are the goods and where are they coming from. Find that info on Bernie's site -- if you can.
Bernie is so much like a Republican. Or like an empty pinata. There is no candy inside. Just a vague word salad like "do good" and "make better". That's all Republicans have run on for years. We don't need Democrats to do the same exact thing.
