I loved everything about it. I knew she would be awesome.

Are you high?

I’m 36, have two master’s degrees, and can’t afford to buy a house or have children or save. Bernie’s platform is light years better for me—nevermind women who are poorer than me!!!—than Hillary Walmart Clinton.

I’ve been a Bernie fan for 10+ years. I don’t like Hillary because I’ve been old enough to vote…

oh yeah, there have been lots of pieces popping up here in the u.s. about the clintons’ collective decisions to the detriment of black (u.s. and latin/francphone, bearing honduras and haiti in mind) americans. there was a really good one on salon the other day. i was little when bill was in office (i was born in ‘83),…

it’s frustrating for sure, and i think indicative of how limited our understanding of feminism can be here, or, at least indicative of how little we question the people we champion. i think one can consider women like clinton and albright as admirable for holding offices rarely held by women. i can easily say yes,…

this comment and many others on this thread show that you are intentionally twisting my words or, to be more generous, misinterpreting me entirely. I a) never said feminism could “solve” these problems (not sure *where* you got that from), b) but what i did say is my feminism is intersectional and recognizes that…

The Hyde Amendment isn’t a law. It’s a rider that is added onto the bills, and he’d probably use his position as president to ensure that it doesn’t get passed. But for single-payer, you have to have a Democratic congress (or at least, in theory; a lot of establishment Dems seem to be against even the very idea of…

Except that’s a false premise. Sanders has committed to ensuring the court stays pro-choice and would pick someone who fell in line with that, as well as them wanting to overturn CU.

The thing is, how can you say that, if you’re a feminist, you’re not “prioritizing” women’s issues by voting for Sanders? He has a really strong women’s rights and women’s issues record, including passing the Violence Against Women Act and being one of the loudest proponents of paid family leave, protections for…

You mean two women who helped impose sanctions which starved children? You mean two women who were a large part of a regime which destroyed a pharma factory in The Sudan?

i support bernie sanders. though no candidate’s record is perfect in terms of foreign policy, i prefer his approach to clinton’s (among many other stances that affect me and people whose needs i think are often ignored). i also base my opinion re: foreign policy on what has happened under clinton’s watch (and with…

i mean, i don’t want to make any assumptions about the person with whom i am engaging right now in terms of his/her racial background, but yeah. it goes back to the “white feminism” issue (which i am using here not just in reference to white feminists, but in terms of prioritizing a certain set of interests over…

So frustrating to be labeled anti-feminist by white feminists who don’t understand intersectionalism. Fuck, as if WOC aren’t alienated enough.

??? I believe women (everywhere) should be equal, have equal access to resources, and equal opportunity, making me a feminist. war very much limits such rights. and i think that leaders who are female should also be accountable for decisions they make that endanger other people, including women, an important point as…

i do, actually. it’s not like you can read my fb feed or anything, but there is a lot there on drone strikes and bellicose foreign policy decisions that are detrimental to well, everyone. i have been ardently anti-war since i could talk (in addition to other things that relate to real equality and and to u.s. military…

Like Hillary’s insults saying Sanders is old, questioning his health, saying he is to far left and does not know how to compromises.

and here’s another piece, written by a feminist, about why war is a feminist issue and why it is important to consider the affects of u.s. military imperialism on women abroad:

i am not sure why you would think my encouragement of a more intersectional feminism would be “trolling.” also, i am talking about “domestically” in terms of u.s. vs. the rest of the world, not the household.

i would argue that the question “which women” is pretty significant here. perhaps they have done that to a large degree domestically speaking (though even that is worth some examination), but i am sure women in countries torn apart by wars, sanctions, and political instability that both clinton and albright supported…

not quite. income inequality, student debt, police brutality, racism, war, limited or no access to health care, and an overprioritization of corporate interests over human ones *ARE* women’s issues. it’s not that one of the aforementioned items are somehow separate, particularly as they often manifest more intensely…

Sanders has a 100% record for voting with NARAL and a 100% record for voting with PP.
