#HillaryMen: Outsider Election: Hillary Is the Ultimate Anti-Establishment Choice (HRC GROUP)
....While we appreciate the “outsider” presidential campaigns being run on the left and right sides of the political spectrum, this national election cycle has one candidate whose qualifications, policies and personal attributes make her the ultimate anti-establishment choice.
Her name is Hillary Clinton.
Consider three key institutional obstacles Hillary is facing:
1. The political establishment – Although women comprise the largest single group of Democratic voters, they remain underrepresented in the very party that best represents women’s economic and social interests. Unfortunately, even as progressives, we recognize that women do not often reach the top rungs of our political ladder....
2. The media establishment – Much of what we publish as #HillaryMen is aimed at confronting one of the great bastions of institutional gender bias in U.S. politics: our national media. We’ve diligently avoided overusing words like “sexism” and “misogyny” for fear of diluting their importance, so let Bernie Sanders speak the truth:
"I think for a variety of reasons, Hillary Clinton has been under all kinds of attack for many, many years. In fact, I can't think of many personalities who have been attacked for more reasons than Hillary Clinton. And by the way, let me be frank and I'm running against her: Some of it is sexist."...
3. The commercial establishment – Yes, we’ve heard it a million times. Hillary is supposedly the “corporatist” candidate who represents the interests of Big Commerce. That her actual record of public service belies this cartoonish and inaccurate labeling – and the bullying style with which that judgment is often delivered – doesn’t matter to her critics....
Even in the corporate world, women are outsiders in the C-suite.
It is a telling signal that the corporate-owned media vehemently oppose Hillary’s candidacy. It belies the notion that she is corporate America's chosen candidate.
Simply stated: seeking power as a woman remains, in many ways, the ultimate anti-establishment act in the United States....
