Women are the answer to what? That's such a loaded statement.

If you're truly a feminist, then you believe in gender equality, not superiority. Hillary's qualifications for the job as compared to Trump's inepitude aside, a female president is no less likely to fuck up the country than a male one.

Have you given up on nitpicking the "slaves built the White House" line?
 
CNN:. Now we have some stories on Hillary about her past.

Um.....you couldn't have done research? You know, journalism work?

That is their choice. Honestly, I find nothing wrong with changing positions, better someone change for the better than to remain static.

As for the connections, people have been unable to provide any proof she's been in any way influenced by big money outside of speeches she made after her time as SoS.

I've never understood why changing positions in politics is a bad thing. It makes no sense. As a politician you are supposed to represent the will of your constituents. Many of us probably had very different views on something like gay marriage 10 or 15 years ago. Do we not want our politicians to evolve on matters like that?

I want a politician that isn't so entrenched in their views to not be able to look back on them and evolve on them if that is what's best for the country. It baffles me.

When I was 15 I was opposed to gay marriage, and so was a pretty big majority of the country. People's opinions change over time!

Yup. I was opposed to it when I was still 25. I'm 33 now. People can change their minds, and some times drastically, depending on a lot of factors like experience, diversity, and maturity.

I want you to take exactly what I wrote before, actually here let me just get for you:

How come Hilary Clinton can't speak like she spoke for the first 80% of that little speech? She sounds like an actual human being when she's not yelling/lecturing.

And I went you to identify, for me, where exactly I linked her gender as the causal reason for my issue with the intonation and volume of her voice.

I then want you to invert the gender of my statement (use "Trump" for a name since it's also true for him) and justify the same reply you made.

Was very much against universal health care when I was in high school. Completely different story now.

Yup, I myself was against it...as a teen and continued to be so until 2009. Evolution is very good. Remaining static, to be conservative, not so much.
Very well said.
 
Jeffrey Lord whining about Meryl Streep not mentioning Sarah Palin in her list of first women... uh, because she wasn't a first. That was Geraldine Ferraro.
 
What a stark difference between the DNC and RNC.
Feels uplifting instead of expecting a bomb to drop on my head.

Bams gonna stomp on some heads tomorrow.

Someone capture that Anderson Cooper reaction shot to Jeffrey Lord complaining about Republican women not getting credit, and that Palin was wrongfully portrayed as dumb.
