(62,325 posts)women. Any reason why we hear only about one woman? Eg, Barbara Lee stood up alone against the entire, propagandized nation right after 9/11 when to so took more courage than most of our Reps had back then and opposed and voted against Bush's Patriot Act, alone!
She also voted against the AUMF when to do so took a similar amount of courage, not very prevalent at the pivotal time in our history.
She was threatened with death and needed protection after doing so, but never backed down.
THAT is a strong, Democratic woman and I wonder why, AS A WOMAN, there is only one woman being presented as a Candidate for the WH by the Dem Party.
Warren is another exceptionally strong woman.
As a democrat and a woman, I would like to see MORE women in this race.
Hillary Clinton has made some bad decisions eg, her support for Bush's war and continued funding of it.
I remember a time when Democrats thought that Bush's war was an important issue and worked for eight years to get control of the House, Senate and WH BECAUSE of those policies.
I still believe they are important. Voters can't just 'forget' the issues they felt so strongly about and dismiss them on cue. Nor should they be expected to.
