California Democratic Party Women's Caucus -- "I was literally waved away like I was trash."

To the Good Old Girls: Working Class Women Matter on Super Tuesday
by Donna Smith

...I went to the California Democratic Party's convention in San Jose this weekend, and I decided I would attend the Women's Caucus and try to say a few words on behalf of Bernie Sanders. I had no illusions about the situation, so grabbing a few moments to speak was my goal. But not only was I excluded from doing so, I also watched the women convening the caucus celebrate what it means to be a wealthy and privileged woman during this campaign season. And I was clearly in a class of working class women not invited to this table.

2. My father left the Republican Party in the early 1960s...

when he realized he wasn't one of those rich folks.

I would hope I don't have to leave the Democratic Party because I'm not one of those rich women.
