Spaulding,
The Democratic party has problems identifying it's base and previously its candidates, as illustrated by the clown pushed in Gingrich's old district in Georgia.
I've still never voted for a Clinton in a primary and remain disappointed in Obama. But in a general election, I can't vote for someone sponsored by the republican donor class who have nothing to offer other than free the wealthy and demonizing the coloreds.
As for how many here feel about the energized women marching, registering and running for office. I just don't care. They represent the energy that has clowns like Farenthold, Issa and hopefully that cockroach Ryan to go the hell away in loss/shame. It's what made me happy about the Virginia elections and hopefully a sign of things to come.
As far as Hillary goes, I worked in proximity to her over a year. She is one of the smartest, most goal oriented people that I've ever met. That she can be overly pragmatic and corporate never allowed me to vote for her or Bill when their nominations were never in question. But I remain distressed by progressives and women who continue to see her as a worse alternative to trump, or another of the often bigoted demagogues the republican party now calls leadership.
Or The people who oddly see her as less crooked than a shyster who routinely has to be sued or blackmailed when he just can't routinely file bankruptcy or for divorce.
Do you think the same can be said about the democratic donor class? Free the wealthy (and educated) and demonized the whites? I get the feeling that's where it's headed if not there already.
I have a feeling you will care, at some point, about this new feminism. This win at all costs with no regard to the consequences of these movements, I fear, is leading us down a bad path. The marchers seem to be man hating, woo hoo women types that do nothing but that or debutante types that probably get mani pedis from cheap forced labor nail salons while their nannies watch their kids. It's childish, divisive, and attention seeking. And their leaders aren't empowering anyone, I'd argue they use whatever they can to their advantage and exploit anybody they can. You are only a good woman if you are doing and saying and believing what they want. Stay at home moms need not apply.
I find it hard to believe you have no stories about Hillary. The Secret Service we know who are Democrats do. Then again maybe you were deemed just and worthy. Since the rest of us undesirables, underlings, and non-importants haven't worked for her what you see as smart others might see as manipulative and calculating. What you see as goal oriented others might see as self serving. While it maybe distressing it's not unreasonable to see why people hate her or how much people hate her. I don't think it's fair to blame it on bigotry. She told people they would lose their jobs in OH and PA. You think they should vote for her?
They have their scandals with money too. I would bet if we knew everything it would be even. That Foundation was dirty as anything.
