I thought it was a GREAT speech! A couple of times I jumped up out of my seat with my fists held high in the air!

I want to hear the candidates talk about the setbacks regarding a woman's right to choose. It doesn't seem to be all that important to all that many people anymore. But it's damned important to ME! And I'm tired of watching this damnable trend of pushing women back to the Bronze Age. At the rate we're going, I'd expect some CONS to introduce legislation mandating that all women above the age of 12 MUST grow their hair long like michelle duggar and daughters. The easier for any man to grab her by her hair and drag her back to his cave.

I haven't heard much yet regarding PROTECTING a woman's right to choose - or even recognizing it openly as an important issue - from anybody on our side except for Hillary.

Just got home and trying to play catch up.

She is showing her ability to be strong and I am ready to fight.

Hope I wasn't rude to you in that thread about the meaning/origin of PUMA.

As a result of that thread I was thinking about that day in May of 2008 when I was in DC. A "journalist" came up and asked me a question about why I was supporting Hillary. I gave her my answer but then she started arguing with me because she didn't like my answer. I verified that she was a "journalist" and said I didn't understand what she was doing. We continued to go back and forth and somewhere along the way she got to her main point. Even though I had not stated that I was supporting Hillary because she is a woman, actually if anything I would support Hillary because I am a woman, the "journalist" kept insisting that we are in a post feminist era and Hillary's sex should not matter. It was weird as she tried to convince me that it was Barack's time.

One of the people I had traveled with to DC teaches Women's Studies and had immediately recognized the woman who was "interviewing" me. They got into a big argument about whether or not we are in a post feminist period. I just listened because I thought it was really bizarre that anyway would try to make that argument. My friend even referred to some of the journalists writings. I was just standing on the side going "What the hell?"

Anyway, after the past few years of the war on women I don't think anyone (except teabagger) thinks that is an argument with any merit and it won't be used this time around.

jftr - this is the "journalist" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Goldberg

She shows up on MSNBC once in awhile. I turn it off.

the pumas never did any damage. The new pumas today are the ones who say they won't support Clinton.

I was attending a Democratic event in a nearby county. What ws the thread about PUMAs and their origins? Do you have a link?

I never figured out why people here were calling me a PUMA when I was out IRL working for Obama.

I am remembering more and more about that primary cycle and how Obama ended up being the nominee.

I have never failed to support, work for, and vote for a Democratic nominee. Even when i had limited time, I did something, even if it was small.

I just hope everyone else here behaves the same way.

As usual, I am not convinced of the sincerity or loyalty of everyone who shows up to shout and scream on DU during silly season. I think some of them live under bridges the rest of the time.

My ASS! "Post feminist"? What complete and total BULLSHIT!!!!! When did frank luntz come up with THAT one?

"Post - anything" implies that there's no issue or problem to deal with anymore. And we've hardly begun to solve much of anything, problem-wise, in either of those realms - EITHER "post feminist" OR "post racial"!

So proud of Hillary and the launch of her history-making campaign!

It has been a fun day

I noticed several of them promised they would leave us alone today and then they did not.

and making liberal use of the Ignore and Trash Thread buttons. It's like a breath of fresh air.

Most posters who support another candidate are polite and rational in their advocacy. I do admire and appreciate that

Enjoyed the day and enjoyed the interactions of the fellow HRC supporters.

Despite some truly bizarre posts in GD. Perhaps Obamacare can give them access to the medication they need for CDS.

Other than that....

That didn't last.

but nooooooooooooooo. Ugly attacks ensued even on HRC Rooms. That said, I must admit that HRC supporters have witty humor.

Thanks!

would have wept with joy today. They're not here, though, so I did it for them.

After two centuries, there will be a Head Beloved Woman on Turtle Island. To all the spirits of all the women who prayed for and dreamed of this day, wado!
