When Hillary Clinton Killed Feminism

[Divernan]

25. Some great comments in NYT on this article

And this article finally pushed me into subscribing to the NYT so I'm not limited to the 10 free articles a month. I got 4 wks. for 99 cents, followed by a year at $1.88 per week for internet and smart phone. One year will get me through the primary election, the general election and the inauguration of President Bernie Sanders! And I don't always agree with the NYT editorial positions, but am now free to read their stuff and comment voraciously.

Anyhow, how about this comment?

You know, Hilary, Madeline and Gloria didn't create feminism all by their lonesomes. This old fogey from the 60s marched in a lot of picket lines and raised a lot of money for progressive causes. I was a foot soldier, and not one of the ones who had to have all the attention.

There was a great line in a play whose name I have shamefully forgotten about a reunion of old activists in which Swoozie Kurtz confronted her dismissive teenage daughter: "If you only knew the world we almost made for you."

Bernie knows that vision, and is still fighting for it, which is why it isn't just the millenials behind Bernie, despite the media's need to pigeon hole everyone. Yes, if I have to I'll hold my nose and vote for Hillary, but I am joyfully and hopefully voting for Bernie in the primaries. Wouldn't it be amazing if we elected a President who actually cares about and understands the working class and middle class, rather than another millionaire.[/blockquote
