Yes to this. While I like that electing Hillary would be historic, I think she would be a better president than Bernie.

Exactly. Obama energized black Americans to come out and vote. No one reputable chastised them for it. It’s significant for our country to elect a woman president and I can see why it matters so much to older feminists especially. I’m reminded of an elderly woman meeting Secretary Clinton and how meaningful it was to…
That is literally the exact phrase I used. I will vote for whoever the fuck I think is best qualified to run this country.
what if...I was realized that and I was talking to other commenters to facilitate discussion in what is always an echo chamber anyway? And what if I said outright I wasn’t referring to Stassa or criticizing her at all?
what if... that were the obvious point of this essay
“Glass-Steagall (done right before Hillary ran for Senate and which allowed her to collect unprecedented amounts of Wall Street cash as a thank you.)“
No because Hillary is responsible for everything her husband did while president. I mean, as long as it’s bad and easy to use against her...
“He pushed the repeal of DADT through (thanks Clintons!)“
Not to detract from your general point, but this is a really bad understanding of the nature of presidencies. In 1992 Bill Clinton directly campaigned on totally ending the ban on gays in the military, along with a universal health care plan. When universal…
I would star you a million times if I could.
You’ve missed the point if you think anyone is saying you shouldn’t be concerned about the direction the country is going or that you should be passive. The point is to examine WHY you back a certain candidate for the less overt biases that are inherent in support. And look at who you think is best capable of…
You get all the stars just for linking to this
Bernie Sanders would get absolutely crushed by Marco Rubio, the likely GOP nominee, in a general election. You can not like Hillary, OK, but think of the long game here.
On paper, Hillary and Bernie may be neck and neck on women’s issues. But I don’t believe he will fight for them the same way she will.
Elizabeth Warren hasn’t endorsed anyone.
I support Hillary and I’m just like “jfc Steinem, wtf is wrong with you?” Now a bunch of people are saying this what all Hillary supporters think. So, thanks for that one Gloria.
I’m a Hillary voter, but Steinem needs to STFU. I’m voting for Hillary (with some reluctance) because I think she’s a battle-tested beltway beeyotch who can clobber Republican radicals. I'd be voting for Biden if he were running.
She should be more specific. It’s white women that are voting for sanders. Haven't seen any rally's that aren't a sea of lily white bros and girls. Plus, they only thing you have to say to get the young vote, is to constantly say revolution.
I hear what you’re saying but this is the problem with modern day liberalism...we refuse to get into the mud (pun intended) with these psychos and fight them. Politics has been filthy from day one in this country: George Washington’s opponents spread the rumor that he was a cross dresser and as I just learned…
Maddow and Todd question Hillary and Bernie? It’s a thing of beauty.
