I want to thank the defenders of misogyny

99. The fact is those supporters

have been instrumental in helping me make my choice. Indeed, if my goal in this OP were simply to advance Clinton's candidacy, this would not be the approach I would have taken. My point that hostility toward women's rights and defenses of bigotry is alienating and a political untenable position in the Democratic party. The fact is exclusionary politics excludes. People can't insult, demean, and expect others to do their political bidding. The insults have been continual, taking different forms, but this last weekend was the last straw. It was clear to me that my rights were not only not a priority, they are targeted. People who insist women do not need to be treated with respect cannot be trusted to promote my rights. If we know anything about Clinton it is that she has fought for women's rights. She also has a number of personal qualities that makes her exceptionally competent. The internet meme about Goldman Sachs is in many ways contrived, complete with doctored charts of her donors being touted as proof, yet those who post them refuse to discuss contradictions in their own evidence. It's clear the point is simply to smear, not inform. I reject that entire association and particularly the tendency to place on her individually responsibility for the ills of campaign finance and capitalism.

I may be disappointed but I won't be disillusioned because unlike many here I don't place my hopes and dreams onto politicians. I vote for them to do a job. Period.
