Kim: "I'm with her"

[kpete]

I'M WITH HER

A "quote" of mine was released yesterday causing my phone to blow up by friends, family and even both candidates' camps, so I want to explain the context in which I said I was "on the fence" about my vote.

There was a point when I wasn't 100% sure I was even going to vote in this election; I didn't want to vote blindly. But I also thought about how not voting would mean that I wasn't making my voice heard, so I decided to talk to my closest friends and family who I love and trust, to have an open conversation about politics.

I believe we owe it to ourselves, and to each other, to ask questions. To do our research so that we vote for the candidate who represents our own beliefs. We should start at a place of openness, receptiveness and honesty, and we should talk to those we love, trust and respect.

I had a long conversation with Caitlyn, who has always been open about her political views, and she encouraged me to do my research before making my decision and then vote for the candidate whose policies aligned with the things that matter most to me. And so that's what I did. I thought about the things that are so important to me that they outweigh everything else, such as gun control and protecting women's rights to safe and legal abortion.

I found that without a doubt, I stand with Hillary. I'm with her. I believe Hillary will best represent our country and is the most qualified for the job. This year, I'm not just voting for myself, but also for my children, and I took that into careful consideration when I made my decision. Now that I have made my choice I want to be clear... I would never judge anyone based on their political or religious beliefs. I believe that both candidates have the intention of making the country a safer and stronger place for every American, they just have different ideas about how we get there.

God bless America for allowing us to even make these decisions – there are so many in this world who are not so privileged.

strange election, sometimes even i can't believe what kinds of things i am posting in 2016
kp

[Siwsan]

1. I pray for the day when the Kardashian/Jenner names just disappears from the media

It is incomprehensible, to me, that anyone would put even a gram of weight to anything they think or say.

[ghostsinthemachine]

2. Is this good or bad?

Somewhat akin to Powell's endorsement. Not sure how to feel really. Most important question is though: with all the threads on this board that I haven't yet read, why did I open this one?

[kpete]

3. and why did i post it?

i feel a little dirty this election,
forgive me,
kp

[niyad]

5. sometimes we just need to shake our heads at the absurd situations in which we find

ourselves.

[Control-Z]

10. At first I was somewhat shocked to see this OP

coming from you. Especially after reading the part where Kim thinks both candidates care equally about our country.

I left the thread but came back after I thought about. The truth is, the woman's got a huge following of not-too-bright, possible voters. Who knows how many will copy her to be cool (or for whatever reason they follow her).

The worst her announcement will do is give Hillary one more vote.

15. My initial thought was "Kim who"?

[JI7]

4. translation : not good for business and people she deals with

To remain popular.

[smirkymonkey]

17. You said it!

It's only too transparent.

[IL Lib]

20. +1 n/t

[question everything]

6. I had to scroll all the way down to see the URL

to realize who is this important person that his endorsement is posted on DU.

Enough already.

Yes, I know, celebrities and others have their rights to express their opinions but, really.

My neighbor, Jody Smith is also "with her." Will DU care?

[underpants]

7. Does this mean Kanye's jumping on the stage at the debate?

💩

[tandem5]

8. That's interesting. Perhaps a rapid decline in followers overnight.

[GeorgeGist]

9. Oh FFS ...

trash

[canetoad]

11. K & R

You may not agree, but this is a good thing. The K family have a big following (if the number of pix and articles I avoid is any indication), she has written this well to appeal to women and mothers. Take what you can get, when you get it.

[JI7]

12. it's her trying to get attention from the trump reality show

Her youngest sister is spending millions trying to look like her.

If she cared about the future for girls and women she could start there.

[canetoad]

13. Whatever.

You obviously know more about her than I do.

[JI7]

14. yes. the family is only concerned with self promotion

[Lucinda]

16. KimK has millions and millions of social media followers...It certainly doesn't hurt.

[skylucy]

19. I agree. I've never even watched her tv show, but it might remind some young people

to vote (for Hillary, of course). I saw some articles online insinuating that Kim would vote Trump because Kaitlyn was. I don't have a problem with Kim wanting to set the record straight.

18. Whew
