For about a year now

we've been hearing from Bernie supporters how Hillary is playing the woman card.

I want to know how's it feel to sound just like Trump??

Do you get it? Do you get how fucking insulting that is. Do you get how un-progressive that is? How fucking sexist it is?

The pro-Bernie posts here on DU seem to focus on the issues (war-mongering, Wall Street and other corporate ties). I haven't seen even one about her gender.

Hillary has provided plenty of reasons to vote against her; the "woman card" is obviously not one of them.

So she's praising Republican monsters at the expense of some of the most courageous activists this nation has ever been blessed with and that's just not acceptable to me. As of today, none of her boosters have come up with any reasons why they find that to be acceptable, they just complain that it gets cited.

Voracity, by the way, has an 'o' and is absent from Hillary's lecture about AIDS history.

Once in a blue moon an extremely offensive post gets hidden, but for the most part the sexist comments are allowed to stand.

She HAS played the woman card several times.

Coincidentally someone else on the other side also noticed that.

That does not equate me or any Sanders supporter with Trump. It is called coincidence. Plenty of Dems have said the same.

I don't know why you show up in my feed, because I put you on ignore months ago because you have always sounded vile to me.

I am glad she is not going to let the likes of Trump, and sour Dems tell her she is not allowed to do so. I'm sick of hearing that she is not allowed to play to a real, and not an imaginary strength.

13. What I get is that when Hillary is criticized, it's somehow an attack on her because she's a woman.

Does being a woman automatically absolve her from accountability and make her the victim? Sure does sound like it if you listen to her supporters.

BTW - you're doing it in your post.

15. Well, that's a lot of bullshit. Not surprising, but bullshit nonetheless.

You can't back up your bullshit claim though.

Who on DU, or which Bernie supporters have been saying for a year that HIllary is only where she is in the polls because she is a woman?

Who said she'd be at 5% if not for her gender?
