Hillary and the gender card ...

[Derec]

So Hillary campaign has narrowed their plan of attack in NH to focus on Hillary being a woman.
For example her surrogate Madelin Albright threatened hellfire for women who dare not support her just for being female:
Albright: 'special place in hell' for women who don't support Clinton
Radical feminist Gloria Steinem, meanwhile said this:
Gloria Steinem: Young women back Sanders so they can meet 'boys'
Hillary herself is now playing not just the gender card but the whole deck.
Hillary Clinton: Women running for office bear a 'much greater burden'

 

[Cheerful Charlie]

All together now. Ahhhhhhhhhhh! You poor little put upon person.

 

[Toni]

You know, Derec, I've never been a big Hillary fan but you're kind of convincing me that she'd be a great president.

 

[Derec]

It's that kind of dismissive attitude that allows her to get away with nonsense like this.
Behold the Hillarybots:

 

[Derec]

You know, Derec, I've never been a big Hillary fan but you're kind of convincing me that she'd be a great president.

Just because I pointed out that Hillary herself and her surrogates are playing up her being a female in very unsubtle ways? It really doesn't take much for you to think somebody'd be a great president ...

^^^^ that

So I guess so far on here everybody supports Hillary playing the gender card. Can't say I am too surprised.

No. It isn't that. It's your inadvertent recommendation of her.

 

[bigfield]

A vote for Hillary is a vote for giving the middle finger to Derec.

 

[Cheerful Charlie]

Hillary here is playing the gender card. The GOP idiots are playing the conservative card. And the Christian card. Sanders the start the revolution card. Deal with it!

...

I don't believe in hell, but sheesh Derec, don't you think you should give an honest quote?

Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright introduced Hillary Clinton at an event in New Hampshire on Saturday, telling the crowd and voters in general: “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

I wonder what I'm doing more, voting for Hillary or against the Republican. Maybe a bit of both.

 

[Jaecp]

You could always vote for Bernie and then, if he doesn't get the nod, vote for Hillary.

Same applies w/r/t Bernie. I don't expect any candidate to be ideal, but based on the major political parties in the US, as they are today, I'd take the Democrats over the Republicans. Now if the parties were to change ideologically, my opinion may change depending on the specifics of said changes.

TBH I don't expect Bernie to win this nomination, but it's too early to say for sure.

We'll to begin with, I want an effective president and am willing to sacrifice the social upheavals that make great presidents. Secondly, yes, she is playing to a demographic. Who cares?

Sure can't fool you.

What is the big deal about a candidate and his/her surrogates playing a _____ card? All of them do that - it is part of the strategy.

 

[credoconsolans]

Except of course, Hillary finished at the top of her class in law school, was a very successful attorney, was elected Senator, became Secretary of State.

Seems to me she has plenty of talent, ability and accomplishments.

 

[Alcoholic Actuary]

This doesn't seem to be an issue, or if it was it was a year ago. Today, it can be said with certainty that all the vaginas are not on the same team (in case anyone might be confused about that fact) as Bernie Sanders held a 6-1 margin against Hillary in Iowa for women 29 and younger.

The problem is not rejection of feminism – surveys suggest millennial women are the most staunchly feminist group of voters in America. They want to see a woman in the White House. Just not necessarily this woman.

It seems like one can support feminism and women's rights and also vote for the candidate who best represents those ideals regardless of the candidate's gender.
