As for no one saying to vote for Hillary because she has a vagina? No offense, Queen, but yes they have.

So, not FQA. Not FQA. Not FQA. Not FQA... Nice try. That is as asinine as me saying that Nicki and Ironbite vote for Bernie due to sexism and citing to BernieBros on Reddit and 4-chan. Or finding the liberal white saviors in the Cult of Bernie and use them to portray posters on here as having racial bias. Just because some idiot on the internet says that does not mean that it is being argued as a legitimate point between people here.
Nobody on here has said "vote for Hillary because vagina." That said, as often as it has been said about her supporters relative to how ofter her supporters on here say that concerns me. Why is the notion that Hillary gets vote because vagina any more concerning than Bernie getting votes cause of dick or Jewish? Or Ted getting Hispanic vote? Or Carson getting the black vote? When so many posters on here have mentioned "vote Hillary because Vagina" but no one argues that point, it seems to me to be a subtle sexism. It implies that unlike Cruz, Carson, or Bernie, Hillary is not qualified to be President, and she must get this support for some other reason (i.e. vagina). It makes her supporters jump through an additional hoop of verifying that they aren't voting for her because of her gender while not being equally employed to any other candidate. It is also simply not true, as she is the most experienced candidate running. Aside from experience, there are plenty of reasons to support Hillary that do not involve her genitals, and I've more than articulated them for the past several months. Anyone that is not familiar with them has deliberately been ignoring those points. Often times, after I post, Nicki tells me to crawl back into Hillary's vagina or something along those lines.
That said, I do not have any problem with those who vote for her for vagina. Not my style, but nevertheless, one of the most salient points I heard someone make after Obama was elected was that "now I can look my son in the eyes, tell him that you can be anything that you want to be, and mean it." Obama's election was revolutionary from a social perspective and will be taught in history classes as one of the defining, and indeed revolutionary, moments of our generation. Electing Hillary, (assuming she wins) would be nothing short of the same level of revolutionary.* Today, 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted, women will be paid 78% of a man for the same work, and women will often be overlooked for promotions while being more qualified. The fact that Hillary made it this far, as a women, speaks a lot to her inner courage. Similarly, because it is easier to follow a trail that has been cleared, Hillary would embolden a nation of young women in much the same way that Obama has emboldened a nation of young African-Americans (indeed, there are 9 year old black children who have known nothing but an African-American first family, and that matters).
I think that revolution, in particular the kind that Bernie speaks of, belies itself when it is narrowly interpreted to support one candidate, as opposed to the broader understanding of what our society is and how it can be improved.
*While Bernie calls her "establishment," he also calls Planned Parenthood "establishment." Women's health needs are so establishment... But, I don't think that word means what he thinks it means.
Once again it is a crying shame that the democratic nomination is not the actual presidential campaign. However should your preferred democratic candidate not win the nomination, please still vote in the presidential election for the democrats. The rest of the world is still recovering from the last time you guys voted in republican.
Too hard. Let's be short-cited and vindictive to ensure a GOP clowns win.
Once again, I hope this is false. The more I hear about dirty tricks to help Clinton, the more I'd rather vote for myself in November if she wins the primary.
And once again, all of this is terribly tangential as I am trying to figure out with specificity what "dirty tricks" are being pulled, and by whom, to help Clinton.
