(51,698 posts)2. My favorite two paragraphs:
...Maybe this is my vaginas fault, but maybe I really heart Hillary because I was raised by a single mother who woke up everyday and did the unglamorous and grueling work of providing for her six children. Maybe thats part of why Ive come to recognize and admire Hillary for showing up, day in and day out, for the promise of unsexy, slow-going and hard-won progress.
...
Maybe Hillarys my candidate because as a longtime ally in the battle for comprehensive immigration reform, she co-sponsored Ted Kennedys immigration reform bill a bill Bernie Sanders voted against in 2007. He claims the bill would have created a second class in this country, but Im not buying this excuse in light of the harsh reality that there already exists a second class in this country. It is made up of hard working immigrants of all ethnicities who largely contribute to our society, yet their undocumented status allows others to exploit them through a host of methods from wage theft and sexual assault, to being denied bottled water in Flint, Michigan.
