But hes still incredibly anti-gay, and that matters for quite a few reasons. For one, he'll be responsible for nominating people to the Supreme Court, a decision that could rewrite the entire victory. That victory was also not possible without Obama's massive support in the case. For another, he has a world of influence over how gays are treated in the military, a front that is far from over.
As far as learning economics, I'd love to. But the problem is that it seems that its either too complex, or too assumption riddled, to be whittled down into a simple idea. When I learn about sciency things, I often listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson bc hes awesome. Most sciencey types say he isnt that big a deal smarts wise...but I disagree. As far as any issue hes ever talked about, hes been able to whittle it down to something I can walk away with and understand. That takes a lot of skill, and its something I have to do to juries soon. But I dont see anyone effectively doing that with economics. It always seems like they take an assumption, carry it to an extreme, and pray its gonna work out. I dont have that faith.
Fact is, I dont see how bernie's policies are going to hurt us, and no one has been able to explain it in a way that made actual sense.
