(45,319 posts)as part of an advancement of a person who really was a Republican until 1994. It's a freaked out double standard and I do not care for that no matter who gets the hit or the advantage. Warren supporters are also prone to calling Hillary 'Goldwater Girl' when Warren was a Reagan Woman, a Bush Adult. If it was bad to be a 'Goldwater Girl' how is it not worse to have been a Republican for much, much longer and deep into career and adulthood and the making of a vast fortune?
Look. Warren was a Reagan Republican during the AIDS crisis. I lived through that and protested that fucked up Party endlessly. For me that counts. She has not talked about it. I'd like her to.
But I'm not going to play with any people who think it is ok to bash Johnny for having a beer while praising Jack for drinking a case a week for 20 years. People who play double standard games will do that to me as well. That's what I assume. They have no visible scruples.
I don't give a shit if Hillary runs and if she does I assume I'll be voting for someone else in the primary like I did last time. But I don't care for mendacity and dishonesty. Nor for Reagan Republicans.
I like Bernie. I expect to hate the eventual nominee, as that nominee is likely to be a recent supporter of my rights and a long time opponent of equality, be that nominee Hillary or Elizabeth, either one is just another politician I've seen try to prevent my happiness. It's just not that appealing.
