119. Dolores Huerta & Barbara Boxer are tiny older women, both minorities...

Fri May 25, 2018, 03:05 PM

May 2018

Each in her own way has given a lifetime to social justice and the Democratic Party. They are firey women -- but tiny, and now older.

They were egregiously disrespected by the young white males filling the ranks of the Sanders campaign. Bullied, physically intimidated, shouted down.

Our Revolution and Sanders need to recognize what's wrong with this picture before they gain the respect of Democrats.
