The personal is the political, Hillary fight is my fight.
There are ideas from many people that Hillary hasn’t accomplished anything, she was just a “first lady” and a “wife” and that doesn’t count as anything. There are ideas that Hillary is just “crying” for attention and to gets what she wants.


These ideas are so personal to me, if Hillary loses, I would feel like I lost a battle. A hillary win will demonstrate to the naysayers that a woman can do this job better than any other candidates, that she isn’t just a first lady, just a woman who uses her husband’s fame to get ahead, just a woman who uses her emotion to gets what she wants, just an evil bitch who wants to ruin everything.

Hillary has to win, its personal. Her fight feels like my fight.

1. This is the blind spot of the Obama campaign
When Obama dismisses and disses her, women re-experience moments it happened to them.

4. wth, are u serious?
How are you going to relate to her just because she's a woman?

This entire thread reeks of sexism.

I'm sorry Obama isnt a woman.

OMG, the sexism in this thread is overwhelming.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Just as if a black person votes for Obama because hes black is RACIST. OMG, I thought we were past this. You're holding the womans movement back AGirl.

Women want to be treated EQUALLY, that means we have to FORGET ABOUT GENDER AS A WHOLE.
