DCCC: a gentle reminder about what progressive women do when their rights are in the crosshairs

[ehrnst]

39. "False purity" interesting how sticking to one's guns gets called that if it

involves women's issues, and not the "universal" issues that directly affect straight white men.

The new "left" of the party gets to issue litmus tests and threaten to primary any candidate that doesn't vote yes on a symbolic amendment on drugs from Canada....and cry "CORPORATE SHILLS!!!" and claim the party will crash and burn under the weight of that crime.

But simply say that national funding should be reserved for Democrats that actually support the party platform on access to health care for women, and suddenly we're PURITANS!!! and need to see the "BIG PICTURE!"

And Democratic women are pretty much monolithic on their damn health care.

And no, I don't think that throwing away over 30 years of progress is going to get us the speaker of the house.

Again - which districts are red but for a Dem willing to sell out on women's health? Still haven't been shown they exist, let alone in great enough numbers to get the house back. Because apparently voter suppression has ceased to be a problem in the last week or so....


Make the case that it will be worth women giving their donations to HRC's PAC and not the Democratic party, because HRC will distribute that money to candidates that are actual progressives.
