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?

(30,613 posts)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.

(45,319 posts)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.

(2,052 posts)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.

(12,504 posts)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.

(35,015 posts)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.

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?
