Super Tuesday Super SCHMOOZEday for Hellary 2016

I try to stay positive about women's lib, and truly believe we are well overdue for a female President. When the right one steps up of course. Women's liberation lies with the candidate who is for EVERYONE'S rights, not one who separates us by saying, "For a lot of well-meaning, open-minded white people, the sight of a young black man in a hoodie still evokes a twinge of fear." (I don't quote without fact-checking; I heard and watched her say this in SC on film.) If that's her idea of an open mind, she's closed herself off from all who truly have one. I'm more terrified of her liar fire eyes than any of my friends who match this description.

Hillary Clinton is extremely close to home for me. Like lives around the corner from my aunt and cousins in Chappaqua, New York. And although I was behind Obama from the very beginning of my first eligible election to vote in 2008, I maintained respect for her as a solid woman who could take a lot of punches. No fucking more. I live in Maine now. And Bernie is my homie.

After watching the CBS live stream of her campaign rally speech last night in Florida, I contend that my respect for her as a political woman with integrity has completely diminished.



What I heard was basically a poorly plagiarized rendition of Bernie Sanders' Twitter feed. What I heard was a complete spew of hypocritical lies. How dare she speak like a democratic socialist to those who do not have the progressive Facebook friends to be exposed to the true, untelevised political revolution at hand. To have a complete foothold in corporate funding and pretend to speak for the 99% would be laughable if it weren't so damn manipulative and despicable. All I heard was a Monsanto Muppet forging her concern for the American people while since the '90s, she been poisoning them (see Hillary link below).

If Clinton could run a clean campaign owning up to the dynamics of how she is running it, I could see myself voting for her if she becomes the Democratic candidate. But to imitate Sanders' lifelong genuine care for the justice of humanity is inexcusable. She suddenly talks democratic socialism while for the past 50 years, Bernie has been LIVING IT. It saddens my soul to watch her masquerade his values to a population that has not witnessed his truth, as Hillary has all these reporters on her payroll, and Bernie is 100% funded by supporters like me, a working student single mom who can only afford to contribute $10 a week. That being said, he's hit record breaking individual donation amounts because he is the voice of the people.

Politics are inextricably linked with history. Check Bernie's. Check Hillary's. Check in with yourself and VOTE, not for the privileged, not for special interests, but for all of US. People say Hillary has "evolved," but she's merely morphed to imitate Sanders' stances without backing them up. Hillary pretends to be for the "few" to manipulate the Democrats who haven't experienced the full breadth that Bernie's campaign has to offer. If Hillary is indeed the candidate, you are welcome to sail away with me. Because there is no way my 2 year old daughter nor I can be a part of a county that's called "United" with a figurehead  based on deceit and division. 


THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
