HIllary's Feminist PAST, exactly the point
An awful lot of assumptions. My distaste for Hillary Clinton has nothing to do with Bill Clinton. I also am well aware of what she has done in the past, I know about her history as a feminist, I know about Arkansas and her work as an attorney. I also remember, quite well as many people have, the enormity of the VRWC against her and her husband.
That is all more reason to be disillusioned by her now. It's especially heartbreaking because of who she has been in the past, what she has gone through, why she is wrong to be pandering to the rightwing of BOTH parties.
It's also because she's the first woman to run, because she doesn't stand up for women's rights, she refuses to say how much ground we've lost in the past six years, she refuses to even acknowledge that the gains over the past forty plus years have been nominal at best, that women's equality is still very sorely lacking.
That's why I won't support or vote for her, it has nothing to do with her being the wife of anyone, it's because instead of standing up for a woman's right to choose she stands shoulder to shoulder with organizations like Democrats for Life, she stands on a pulpit with preachers preaching to their flock about how horrible and tragic abortion is and she joins right in.
You obviously have great admiration for Hillary Clinton, I too have been in a room with her, she is bright and witty and intelligent but she does not have women's backs now, she may have in the past but the past is no longer relevant, she doesn't have our backs NOW and that's why I will not support or vote for her.
