Sep 2015

When it comes to issues pertaining to persons of color, would you take Ben Carson or Bernie Sanders? What about Ben Carson or Hillary Clinton?

It's outrageous that there's never been a woman POTUS. It truly is. And I hope like hell someone such as Elizabeth Warren or Jill Stein will become POTUS. But to assume any woman is stronger than any man on matters of sex (gender is a social construct, thus my use of 'sex') equality is like assuming any person of color is stronger than any white person on racial equality.

Hillary has been out there for women's rights for decades, too. Plus, she actually knows what it is Metric System Sep 2015 #11

Just being a woman isn't enough, especially when you don't stand up for all women. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #13

That was truly nauseating. As a woman, I can't support her. CharlotteVale Sep 2015 #26

She didn't come around until 2013. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #37

And yet the gay community overwhelmingly favors her. Metric System Sep 2015 #30

The majority of Democrats, including Pres. Obama, held this position until very recently. Good on Metric System Sep 2015 #33

Yes, good on Bernie for always standing up for equal rights. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #36
