All our Dem Candidates are Feminists!

I just unsubscribed from Feminist Majority because they asked me if I was another Feminist for Hillary?

There are plenty of good fights for these organizations but to my mind spending time, money and energy against Excellent Feminist Candidates who happen to be male is counter productive.

Good organizations making less than stellar choices IMHO.

I like these organizations. I generally support them which is why I am on on the mailing lists. I do not support their attacks on their other supporters. Sanders and MOM are active fellow supporters. Time, Money and Energy needs to go towards defeating Republicans who oppose us and bad legislation that undermines us, not fighting those who support us.

I said I'd join again next year, and if they want to make any more endorsements they should poll their members first. it isn't that hard--MoveOn and DFA did it.
