To many very religious people, she is basically saying 'if you don't vote for Hillary, consider yourself unworthy of God's love' and there are a lot of very religious women out there who probably won't think that is the most benevolent of comments when it is inserted into an attack video by the GOP.

Where does this bastardized reasoning that "all women must vote for women, regardless of political beliefs" lead us?

Here...

It's satire, but it draws a pretty straight line from Hillary using that faulty logic to far more dangerous women in politics...

Hillary Tells Women to Vote for Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeated her belief that being a woman was a professional qualification for the presidency, and told women they must vote for her because she is also a woman. In doing so, Secretary Clinton's logic inadvertently told American women they must also vote for the likes of Sarah Palin and Carly Fiorina simply because they were also women, which automatically made them qualified for the presidency.

Clinton continued, "My positions on things like regulating Wall Street, marriage equality, preemptive and perpetual war, and so many other things are simply not relevant, because I am a woman. If you can't understand that, you're a sexist."

Thank you.

If you know anyone on Bernie's team, this is something she/he should work in to his spiel.

…other women when she supported and advocated Bill's Welfare Reform Bill? That was a pander to the Newt Gingrich's Congress if ever there was one.

Poor women were knocked off welfare w/out jobs, job training or child care especially if they lived in the South and were Black. Recent research shows they are now poorer than ever because of this legislation.

Here's a quote from a Bill Moyers show about this from 2015 based on a book called: $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America

This disturbing trend ($2.00 per person per day) can be traced to the 1996 welfare law, which has gradually but inexorably gutted the cash assistance safety net for families with children. Attention to this often neglected side of our nation’s extreme economic inequality is especially timely as policymakers from both parties consider reauthorizing the 1996 welfare law. As the book vividly shows, we are long overdue to take a different path — one that upholds our nation’s values, including our responsibility to protect and empower the most vulnerable by eliminating extreme poverty.

Guess there's a special place reserved in hell for Hillary because of what she did to these women?

..not on gender.

Voting FOR Hillary BECAUSE she's a woman is sexist, not feminist.


So yeah, as a 56 y/o well-informed progressive women, Senator Sanders has my full support.
