1) The piece your are talking about was written by him as a college student, poorly, and was about how damaging gender roles are, because you know what? That shit isn’t far from the truth. Look at porn and what men are consuming and tell me that men don’t fantasize about raping and abusing women. As a sex worker I heard this fantasy consistently. And because of this, and what women take in, and how women are brought up, a lot of women do have rape fantasies, that’s just the fucking truth.
You can check his voting record here He has been pro abortion and has always wanted women, regardless or age or income to keep control of their fucking bodies
You’re literally making shit up, and have no linked sources, luckily I have a few,
But Sanders has also been a steadfast and reliable supporter of LGBT equality, supporting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act when it passed the Senate in 2013 and even calling on President Obama to evolve already and support marriage equality in 2011. He’s a cosponsor of the federal LGBT-inclusive Student Non-Discrimination Act and has consistently voted against bills seeking to amend the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage, while cosponsoring a bill that would repeal the remaining portions of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. Sanders has a perfect score of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign’s latest Congressional Equality Index.

In 1996, then-Representative Sanders voted against the Defense of Marriage Act, which barred recognition of gay marriage at the federal level (DOMA was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2013). Sanders’ and his home state of Vermont were the first to legalize same-sex unions in 2000, at first recognizing them as civil unions. Gay marriage has been legal in Vermont since 2009, and as The New York Times reported, Vermont was the first state to pass legislation in support of same-sex marriage, rather than in reaction to a court ruling.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the longest-serving Independent in the history of Congress, is also running for the nomination. And unlike Clinton, his record on LGBT rights is historically excellent.

And this shit you said right here?
Considering that intersectional feminism is crucial to the movement, have you considered his views on race? Again, try to find a single quote regarding institutional racism. He refuses to talk about it.
thats when I knew you don’t know JACK SHIT about Bernie Sanders. You need some quotes. I’ll fucking find you, some fucking quotes
“I have a long history in fighting for civil rights. I understand that many people in the African-American community may not understand that.
“But I think the issues that we are dealing with, combating 51 percent African-American youth unemployment, talking about the need that public colleges and universities should be tuition free, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, creating millions of jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure. These are issues that should apply to every American.”

The civil rights movement also became a home for him. He became leaders of an NAACP ally called the Congress of Racial Equality at a time when most civil rights activists were black. He was arrested while demonstrating for desegregated public schools in Chicago. (No big deal, says Sanders: “You can go outside and get arrested, too!” he jokes. “It’s not that hard if you put your mind to it.”) He once walked around Chicago putting up fliers protesting police brutality. After half an hour, he realized a police car was following him, taking down every paper he’d up, one by one. “Are these yours?” he remembers the officer telling him, holding up the stack of the fliers.
In his second year at college, Sanders made national news. On a frigid Tuesday afternoon in January, 1962 the 20-year-old from Brooklyn stood on the steps of University of Chicago administration building and railed in the wind against the college’s housing segregation policy. “We feel it is an intolerable situation, when Negro and white students of the university cannot live together in university owned apartments,” the young bespectacled student told the few-dozen classmates gathered there. Then he led them into the building in protest, and camped the night outside the president’s office. It was Chicago’s first civil rights sit-in.

“A black male baby born today, if we do not change the system, stands a one-in-three chance (of) ending up in jail.”
you got your fucking quotes
3) What is revolutionary is that he advocates single payer health care system, which wasn’t that big of a deal before, but now that Americans are terrified of socialism (which we need more of) a lot of people have been brainwashed against it. Obamacare is nice, but a single payer system would be better.
4) THE WAR ON DRUGS IS ABOUT THE WAR ON BLACK BODIES AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE ABOLISHED.
