codenamecesare: HOW IS THIS HAPPENING WHY IS THIS EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE Look, Tumblr. If you vote for Dr. Jill ’panders to the anti-vaccine crowd and WiFi poisoning delusions’ Stein or Gary ’abolish the minimum wage and also let’s not do anything about global warming: the sun is eventually gonna grow and encompass the earth anyway’ Johnson or god forbid DONALD FUCKING TRUMP, you forfeit your right to ever complain about an “ism” ever again. Because in this election year, sexism is THE ONLY REASON not to vote for Hillary Clinton over those other three clowns. “I’m not sexist, I just don’t agree with Clinton’s positions!” Do you even know what her positions are? Here’s a sample. “By 2021, families with income up to $125,000 will pay no tuition at in-state four-year public colleges and universities. And from the beginning, every student from a family making $85,000 a year or less will be able to go to an in-state four-year public college or university without paying tuition.” “Providing federal matching funds to make body cameras available to every police department in America.” “Today, our investments in infrastructure are roughly half what they were 35 years ago. That’s why Hillary Clinton has announced a $275 billion, five-year plan to rebuild our infrastructure—and put Americans to work in the process.” (Why Infrastructure Is a Social Justice Issue. You like social justice, right, Tumblr?) Clinton’s platform addresses mass incarceration, the school-to-prison pipeline, climate change, violence against trans women of colour, the systemic neglect of veterans, mental health stigma, voting rights, student loan debt, public education and affordable health care. Look, you think Hillary Clinton is a dishonest corporate shill because that’s what Republicans have been shrieking for 25 years, NOT BECAUSE IT IS TRUE. Learn the history. How Clinton Became a Vessel for America’s Fury It is not a coincidence that the woman who attended the 1995 U.N. Conference on Women in Beijing and historically said, “Women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are women’s rights” - is the most demonized politician of our times. “I’m not sexist, I’d vote for Elizabeth Warren!” Are you sure you’d vote for her after the right wing did the same rhetorical assault on her that they’ve done on Clinton? She isn’t even competing and Trump calls her “Pocahontas.” She also gets less hate because she’s focused laser-like on economic justice, while Hillary Clinton has fought broadly for social justice for marginalized groups, especially women and children, throughout her career. Truth is: Politifact found that during the primaries, Hillary Clinton was more honest than Bernie Sanders. She is the most honest politician who ran this year. “It’s fair to expect more transparency. But it’s a double standard to insist on her purity.” The truth is that Hillary Clinton has a consistent track record of using political power to help people who need it. “After graduating from Yale Law School, she went to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, where she helped expand access to education for children with disabilities.” “In Arkansas, she started a legal aid clinic to ensure that low-income people had access to real legal representation.” “As first lady of the United States, she helped win the fight for Family Medical Leave Act. When Bill Clinton became president, Hillary was on the front lines working to ensure the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was the first bill he signed into law.” “You need to fight this cancer and get well: You don’t have time for this nonsense. Let me look into it.” Hillary Clinton is incredibly smart, incredibly tough, and incredibly qualified to be President of the United States of America. This November, we are going to find out: does American hate women enough to make serial failure debtor to Russia Donald Trump the Commander in Chief over former Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, long-time champion of universal health care and women’s rights around the world? I’m terrified the answer might be yes. VOTE. -- source link
