(2,978 posts)I personally would like to move away from gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, race, age, and disability status as the defining characteristic of a candidate.
But if you're going to claim Hillary has some superior understanding of discrimination because she's a female, you can't ignore Bernie's Judaism.
I'm a radical feminist who would prefer a more economically progressive candidate like Bernie, because he's plenty sensitive on issues of gender and race as well, but I'll vote for the Dem primary winner, regardless.
But this suggestion that Sanders is blind to racial and women's issues is just silly.
Hillary would do better to argue outright for the corporate ideology with which she largely agrees instead of run away from 30 years of her ideology. It'll win her more votes in the general election, anyway.
