2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary and Bernie are both holding events in Portland this week. [View all]Yeah, ignoring these rallies was actually also an option for you.
And for the vast, overwhelming majority of Sanders supporters on and off the net this is not about Hillary being a woman. It is about her economic positions, her military positions, her environmental positions, and her engagement in third-way/DLC politics. Pretending that this is sexism does a disservice to progressives supporting Sanders and women. Women are smart enough to pick out whatever candidate they like for whatever reason they like.
And I usually DO try to put up positive OP's if you really must know.
I just also think that the people funding a candidate are very important and speak much to who that candidate will listen to when the time comes. As Molly Ivins once analogized in her book"You gotta dance with Them what brung ya."
I am sorry if that hurts.
