Very simple explanation for why Schumer and other Dems are distancing themselves from Hillary

[KitSileya]

68. OFFS, all women in public are treated heinously.

Did you read Elizabeth Warren's Facebook page when she refused to endorse anyone in the primary? It was vile, and it was from people on the left side of the political spectrum. Harris is already being talked about as "anointed", etc. We see how women in public spaces are being treated. Author Sady Doyle is being attacked through her newborn baby because she dared to voice opposition to the Chapo Trap house guys.

The thing about Hillary Clinton, though? You might not see it, most men don't, to be honest. She is being attacked even after she's pretty much withdrawn from the public arena, and after she has stated that she takes the blame for her loss. It's telling all women that if they dare presume to get out on the public stage, they'll not only be attacked while on it, even by those who should (on paper) be on the same side as us, but that we'll never get a break after if we try. We will always be hunted if we speak out.

Harris, Warren, Gillibrand, and Duckworth are exceptional women - because that is what women (and other minorities, of course) have to be in order to even manage to think about entering politics. As I said, this hounding of Hillary Clinton makes the hill to climb steeper for all women, and that makes the down-hill slope men have to walk to get to the same place even easier to traverse.
