13. We don't all walk in high heels.

Wed Oct 28, 2015, 08:12 AM

Oct 2015

Many of us who've been walking the walk our entire lives understand that high heels are bad for our feet and won't support us for the distance. Many of us who walk the walk now, who've been walking the walk our entire lives, support Sanders.

Of course, no one can speak for all of "we women," but I'll agree that we women who aren't brainwashed by religious propaganda into taking a back seat want a leader in the fight, and want that leader to be a woman.

Personally, I'd like a leader I could trust. HRC is not that person, but there are many great, strong women out there that could be.

I still want Sanders to be POTUS. The POTUS is a leader on many issues, not one, and he already leads on most of those issues. I don't like where HRC's "leadership" takes us on those.
