Bernie Sanders Voters Helped Trump Win and Here's Proof

[JHan]

76. I don't think I need point out to you..

" I will never understand why the powers that be in the party chose to ignore the risk they took in nominating a woman, any woman actually, much less one with a boatload of baggage, at a time when the nation was a polarized as it was and obviously still is. I truly believe that Clinton was highly qualified and deserved the opportunity to be president. I also know that life isn't fair and that sometimes bad timing undermines what is right and should happen. "

How much this sets women back, like myself and maybe women you know in your life, who feel the need to make a difference in politics and dare to enter the arena.

You manage in one fell swoop, to suggest that the nominee didn't deserve it, based on her gender, that the millions who voted for her counted for nothing, and that her service to both party and country count for nothing. You erased her.

You're also not the first person to have a very rosy picture of who FDR was, and I've had to point out several times in recent days that he wasn't the socialist paragon he's made out to be - but I shouldn't be surprised. This is how men in politics are lionized and women demonized. You've unintentionally made the point of the OP.
