Hillary's views evolved and she fought for LGBT rights on an international stage as Senator of State for years. You're all cherry picking ****. Did you all forget...

In 2006, Bernie Sanders OPPOSED marriage equality in Vermont

Expose them.

HRC ratings:

Hillary: 89%

Seems like Bernie would be the obvious choice, right?

But oh, wait a minute! The current president of HRC...



Gosh I wonder why they endorsed Hillary instead of the candidate with the 100% rating


Btw, Bernie supporters dislike endorsements made by the higher-ups without polling their members. Most (if not all?) of his recent endorsements have been made in compliance with the unions/organisations' members.

I know you're going to defend Hillary regardless, and that's fine! I'm doing the same for Bernie. But look at the facts and tell me that endorsing Hillary over Bernie isn't the least bit suspicious considering the ratings and all.

It's not suspicious LOL. A problem many people have with the Sanders campaign & supporters is that they act like the ONLY possible way someone can support Hillary is if there are ulterior motives. Some just prefer her as a candidate. Get over it. There's not a huge difference between their ratings. Both Bill & Hillary have spoken at HRC events and Hillary recorded a video for them back in 2013. There's nothing suspicious about it. And you guys act like the marriage thing defines her entire stance on gay rights. Let's not forget her addressing world leaders over LGBT rights in 2011 in Geneva. Her advocating for gays to be included in the military. Her speaking out about LGBT-Bullying and hate crimes (in 2000). Her advocating for gay adoption rights back in 2001. But 0h! Bernie voted better on a few more bills! The Little #FeelTheBerns are serving a serious Schizo tea with all of the paranoia.

And like HE said. The HRC and PP are apart of the "establishment" that he is AGAINST. So why would they back him? And the better question is would he be saying this if they endorsed him? Would the Sanders supporters be asking for a "member vote" (which is idiotic, they aren't a union) if they endorsed him instead?

DOMA (enacted in 1996 by Bill) was definitely a pro-gay piece of legislation

Good thing gay rights are about much more than marriage

i think some people think business=bad, so even organizations that are doing good things for people are bad. it's not a productive attitude at all. also, i highly doubt you'll be able to destroy the establishment to that much of an extent, bernie.

and if you're not planning to actually do anything about it (and what could he do? reduce their power? that's a terrible idea) then you shouldn't be attacking things

This is true, but marriage is an important part of it

And feel free to clock me if I'm wrong but I don't think Hillary and Bernie are too far apart on protecting people who are LGBTQ+

He's mad that they decided to endorse Hillary? A new low for him.

They aren't, but as already stated, the HRC already has a relationship with the Clinton's They've been speaking their for years. Someone who has good votes, has stood up for many gay causes, spoke about gay rights to world leaders, and has worked with you before > someone who had good votes

I mean, this ISN'T hard logic
