If there were a female candidate with similar credentials as Hillary, she would have acquired something along the way that Republicans would have latched onto and turned into controversy, and Trump would still be president.

I recognize a gaslighting pivot when I see one. The day for debating is over. I’m ready to fight and conquer, and others are too.

Wait, is your argument “Hillary wasn’t made the nominee because she’s a woman”? Then yes okay, but she was the feminist candidate, whether you believe she’s capable of thinking on her own (not much evidence to the contrary) or just a complete puppet (I feel like people in US have no idea what a puppet politician…

I hope you understand that, had Bernie been selected as the democratic nominee, that would be the definition of ‘forcing a candidate’ on people, because the majority of democratic primary voters DID NOT WANT HIM.

You have odd definitions of “compromising ethics.” She didn’t compromise any ethics by defending a client she had an obligation to defend on order of a judge. She didn’t compromise her ethics by spending whatever political capital a First Lady has to fight for decent national healthcare. And I have no fucking idea…

Come on now. Don’t use Warren as an excuse to deny the sexism against Hillary.

Cause to misogynistic men a woman’s value is only in her appearance.

Educate yourself. Please try to learn that sexism is not gender specific! Women can and are avid supporters of sexism, misogyny and patriarchy. This is why they hand their daughters off in child marriage, vote against equal pay, and revile rape victims.

They should. A lawyer performing her constitutional duty despite not liking her client, and then actually trying to do a good job, unthinkable. She was a candidate who supported every major current feminist policy issue. Yep, it wouldn’t have been a victory for feminism at all.

Oh I am royally fucked, despite an otherwise comfortable middle class lifestyle, because without the ACA I am uninsurable. And I am deeply concerned for my Latina nieces, one of whom lesbian, and my daughter, and my cannon fodder age sons, and I extrapolate that out to others who didn’t vote for Trump and will be…

Nope. First off, it’s so easy for you to say this since Elizabeth Warren has pretty much said she’ll never actually run. It’s like a nice pretend way for you to show you’re not sexist. It’ll never happen, so you’ll never actually have to support her. But let’s humor this...if she did get the nom....they would find…

LMAO. So if there was a magic, perfect women she would have won. Okie doke. No sexism to see here. In order to win, women just need to be 100% perfect even when up against a vile bigot. GOT IT.

You’re right. Let’s not let facts get in the way.

Yes! This country is bullshit. Always has been. I don’t know why I thought things might be headed in the right direction.

Except the primaries weren’t “rigged”

Dream on. I guess it’s just a coincidence that every president has been male. I’m not trying to convince you because I understand that deliberate obtuseness is not curable.

I’m one of the 43 percent who voted for Clinton because the civil rights of all women, of my GLBT friends, and my non-white friends fucking matter to me.

If your fictitious woman had 3 husbands and 6 children by 3 men and cheated on all of them - like Trump, that woman would have been run out of the primaries on a rail.

Come on, she was a public defender. That was her job. Anyone accused of rape shouldn’t have access to a lawyer? That is a vital part of our constitution.

I have not gotten one damn thing done today. I’m stunned. I’m struggling not to despise the people I know who voted for Trump or didn’t vote because of their “conscience.”
