(25,518 posts)But Hillary - and Bill for her benefit - happily glad-hand with the scumbag leaders of those barbaric countries and accept their $$$ for speeches, conveniently ignoring these pressing women's rights issues and failing to courageously demand (with action!) that they be seriously and expeditiously addressed.
Merely repeating the words "women's rights are human rights" are merely that, words. Such empty rhetoric is something Hillary is quite good at, I'll certainly give her that. But we desperately need LEADERS who "not only talk the talk, but walk the walk."
The other "elephant in the room" is how Hillary has consistently enabled her husband Bill to abuse women, while smearing their reputations. You can choose to ignore Bill's inappropriate sexual behavior, and Hillary's muted response thereto, just because they are Democrats. But, we have FAR better leaders and role models, Bernie among them, whom we can look up to and offer our support in battling the war against women, equal pay for equal work - another Hillary "Achilles Heel" in her failing to fairly compensate women working under her supervision - along with a myriad of other women's rights issues.
As the saying goes: "Talk is cheap; actions speak louder than words." Bernie is a REAL progressive with a pro-women history and agenda for solving these and a whole host of left-leaning issues. You won't see any "Turd Way" triangulation on President Sanders' watch.
Bernie deserves our strong, unwavering support. He certainly has mine!
Go Bernie Go!!!
