Related: About this forumwould Hillary Clinton prefer to compare herself to Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders?
Is that why they want to move on to the general?
or do they just want the voters to get out of the way?

(5,636 posts)Consider that Bernie's biggest boast on gay rights is that he voted against DOMA. Well, that was a completely useless vote. It did not get one right for any gay person. In all Bernie's years in Congress, he has never accomplished anything for gays, other than voting the way liberal Vermonters would allow him to vote. The Clintons on the other hand, despite their shortcomings, did so much. Bill granted oppressed gays asylum, substantially increased funding for AIDS education and research, appointed 150 gays to government positions, barred discrimination of gays by federal contractors, and was first to speak of gay rights in a State of the Union address. Hillary was the first First Lady to march in a gay pride event, advocated for domestic partner benefits as early as 2000, her WH staff lobbied successfully to prevent Congress from blocking gay adoption, as SoS she granted gay and transgendered State Dept. employees equal treatment, and spoke forcefully in international forums in defense of gay rights.
So, my guess is that Hillary is her own person, and doesn't really need to be compared to members of the white male ruling class.

Hillary Clinton praised the REAGANS.
not by accident and its a damn shame anyone gay straight confused or indifferent
cant tell the difference between an enemy list making right winger and a freedom
fighter.
the bigger shame is there is no shame involved, and no principals.

Funny thing BTW, Bernie called for less of the sexism... So clearly he saw it as an issue.
