By natecraIn response to the claim that its mysogeny and girls chasing boys thats leading people to choose Bernie over Hillary.
The choice of president is a four year commitment to be lead by someone. Their ties to influencers, the favors they owe, the contributions theyve accepted all play a major role in the person with executive power in the US.
Hillary Clinton is not the right choice for our first woman president. She has deep ties to the interests of the over-powered wealthy. She has only recently chosen to call herself progressive as a reaction to the strong and growing base of people who support Bernie Sanders. She wants their votes and if she cant have them, shell buy superdelegates so the progressives who dont like her, dont matter

(69,014 posts)It is so damn tragic when another woman negates a lifetime of real effort and accomplishment because it just isn't perfect.
Once again, a woman has to do twice as much to get half as far.
And it's a lie anyway. A butt-brained justification for ugly prejudice.
I know my candidate isn't perfect. How could she be? But what courage! What perseverence! What heart! What experience! What grace! What forgiveness!
Sanders people are fantasizing a grand purge of the impure once they win. Hillary wouldn't do that. Neither would I.

"Sanders people are fantasizing a grand purge of the impure once they win. Hillary wouldn't do that. Neither would I."
But, you're ok with regime change and continued war? As SOS, she is anything but a peacemaker.
Empathy, morality and ethics should be among the things you list but they are absent.
