In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders will still be the Democratic Nominee [View all]Peace Patriot
(24,010 posts)I'm a 70 year old woman. Been thru many a feminist struggle in my long life. And I think women voting for Clinton because she's a woman are blind as bats.
They can't see that Clinton was behind the fascist coup in Honduras, where leftist women peacefully protesting the coup and trying to save some small bit of Mother Earth in environmental struggles are being murdered, raped, beaten, imprisoned by the thousands. Gays are also being targeted.
They can't see what Clinton did to the women of Libya, women being the first victims of war and of U.S. "regime change." And the women of Iraq. Tens of thousands killed, torn to bits by U.S. bombs, or saw their children die of bombs, bullets or disease, millions displaced, unknown tens of thousands suffering rape and oppression. Clinton approved all of this. She has not the slightest concern for any of it. Indeed, she gleefully relished the bayonet rape of the Libyan leader she overthrew, Gaddaffi, before he was murdered. "We came, we saw, he died!" she laughed. On vid. I've never seen anything so hideous as that oblivious laugh--oblivious to the torture, oblivious to horrendous consequences of chaos in Libya, including ISIS moving in--except maybe Bush Jr. hideous giggles about being commander-in-chief.
And the women here whom she and Bill kicked off welfare and whose children were kicked off welfare, to end up in the streets or in jail, by the millions. And the mothers and fathers who can't find work. Millions of them all across America, jobs sent over seas by U.S. "free trade for the rich." Families, communities destroyed by imprisonment, by unemployment, by displacement--as the Clinton's climb up the ladder of power and money.
Bernie Sanders is BY FAR the better candidate for women. It's too bad that some women are too blind, or too self-involved, to see what Hillary Clinton really is--a callous warmonger--who has Henry Fucking Kissinger and Robert Kagan (chief neo-con, architect of Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld's blueprint for the ME) as her advisers--and a bought and paid for ally of Wall Street and the banksters--who USES feminism as a sham issue to mask all of this corruption. And she's not even consistent and reliable on THAT. She's willing to compromise with fascists on abortion! As for poor women, let them eat $7.25/hr. And as for poor women in "regime change" countries, they don't even exist to Hillary Clinton.
