There are so many strong, intelligent, independent Women who are Voting for Hillary..

[Cha]

I don't think it's wise to insult us with that.. ".. not voting with my vagina.." talk.



Meryl Streep Interview on Environmental Health Activism

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2012/02/29/434483/meryl-streep-interview-on-environmental-health-activism/

Barbra Streisand.. a Democratic political activist for so long.. I remember when John McCain told her to keep to singing and leave the politics to them.

I was so mad back then(it was during the bush2 years) that I wanted to tell her how much I appreciated her.. She didn't have an email so I wrote her snail mail.. and she wrote me back.

She said the republicans couldn't handle the message so they tried to kill the messenger



Snip from Barbra Quote~

It’s possible that her candidate, Clinton, might face Trump in a general election — and that would be “one of the greatest moments in television history,” Streisand said.

“Everybody would watch — I can’t even imagine,” Streisand said, though she expressed confidence Clinton would prevail: “I’m not worried about her.”

A couple of snips//

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen officially endorsed her "friend" Hillary Clinton for president Saturday at a “Women for Hillary" event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Shaheen, a former three-term governor who remains popular in the state after winning a second senate term in November 2014, emphasized how much she trusts Clinton and touted her "tough as they come" strength.

Planned Parenthood, meanwhile, provides thousands of women access to affordable, non-abortion services such as reproductive health, cancer screening, and maternal and child health services.

"She will never back down on women’s reproductive rights, and will never defund planned parenthood," Shaheen said earlier to loud cheers.

Speaking of New Hamphire~


With Hassan’s endorsement, Clinton has garnered the support of New Hampshire’s top three elected women. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen endorsed Clinton two weeks ago, and U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster is also on board.

[Thinkingabout]

1. Yes, they are supporting a strong woman.

[Cary]

3. Absolutely

[Cha]

4. Being strong women themselves they are quite confident knowing that Hillary will get

the job done.

I'm so grateful for all these intelligent women supporting Hillary, Thinkingabout!

[BlueCaliDem]

30. So are we, Thinkingabout!

[Cary]

2. "Vote with vagina."

I still find that creepy and not because of what Susan Sarandon said, but rather why she would feel the need to say it. It is insulting like being told we voted for President Obama because he's black.

Susan Sarandon voted for Ralph Nader. Did she do that because her vagina is a Democrat?

[msrizzo]

18. No one is saying that women have to vote for Hillary...

So I don't understand why some women who don't want to vote for Hillary (their right after all) have to make a point of dissing women who support Hillary with comments like this. It's almost like they are making preemptive strikes against attacks that aren't happening.

[Cary]

19. Great point

The reason you don't understand is because it doesn't make sense, for exactly the reasons you cite.

Funny how that works isn't it?

[mcar]

24. This defensiveness on their part doesn't make sense

It has been my unfortunate experience/observation that we women tend to eat our own. It's the only thing that explains to me why any woman would vote R. And the contempt and outright hatred that some women have for strong women.

[Ellen Forradalom]

65. They're trying to prove they're "one of the boys" i.e. human beings

The phenomenon is known as "cool girl". "I'm cool, not like those other girls."

They don't want to be associated with women, because women are the sex class, other, not fully human.

[wildeyed]

25. No.

I voted for Obama because 'white guilt'

And yeah, why a 'progressive' woman feels the need to belittle other woman for making an independent political decision, I will never understand. We complain about men objectifying us as female body parts, and then can't wait to do it to each other. It sucks that she did that. I hope the meme took her out of context, or something, because if it is legit, then pretty unforgivable.

But when someone shows you who they are pay attention

[Ellen Forradalom]

64. Susan Sarandon said that?

Oh Susan, Susan, Susan. You disappoint me. Internalized misogyny is an ugly thing.

Who wants to join me in sending her the complete works of Andrea Dworkin?

[Dawson Leery]

73. I understand why so many cannot stand Sarandon.

[Loki]

78. I was a single mother for over 13 years.

I was raised by two very strong parents who taught me to always think for myself, don't ever be afraid to try something you've never tried before, and do the right thing, even if it is the hardest thing you will ever do. My father taught me how to change a tire, change the oil in my VW, know what tools to use for what projects and gave me a very independent streak, which I'm sure has probably made me rather difficult to deal with at times, but I relish it now in my older years. My mother was a feminist before the word ever emerged into our vocabulary. Vote with my vagina.....what an ignorant and degrading thing to say. I refuse to submit to stereotypes. Women will change this world, and we will start by electing competent women to public office, not based on their sex, but the intelligence and world view that they hold. Bernie Sanders is a good man, but he is still a man, and it's time for a change, and I want to be part of that change. I helped elect a man to become our first President of color, and by God I will elect a woman to this office next. Their day is over, and like President Obama, Hillary has "0" fucks to give when it comes to being intimidated by this rolling train wreck of crazy called the Republican Party. She has my vote, and I have my vagina and one has nothing to do with the other.

[sufrommich]

5. Great OP,Cha!

[Cha]

6. Thank you so much sufrommich!

Go for Hillary!

[BooScout]

7. Great post!

I know a lot of strong and independent women here and IRL that are voting for Hillary with our brains and our hearts!

[Cha]

8. Good one, Boo.. with our Brains and our Hearts!

[BooScout]

14. You inspired me to put up an OP...

You need to wear hip waders if you go see it though.

[Bleacher Creature]

9. Everything about this post makes me proud.

And I'm a guy.

Thanks!

[Cha]

11. It's for you, too, Bleacher! We vote with our brains and our hearts as Boo so wisely pointed out!

Thank you!

[Cha]

15. And, Mahalo again!

[Rose Siding]

10. Did any of them say which body part they use to vote?

Or work a slam of supporters of the other "dem" candidates into their endorsement?

Silly questions from silly me, I know, now that, as a supporter of HRC, I've been reduced to my genitals.

[Cha]

12. Boo wisely pointed out that we vote with our Brains and our Hearts.. I'm like "yeah!"

I dunno what Sarandon is going on about, Rose.

Thank you!

[George II]

13. Most Clinton supporters use their brain to vote, nothing else.

[Cha]

17. LOL.. my heart is

in that mix..

[Cary]

20. But I would use my vagina if I had one

Just sayin.

[mcar]

16. K&R

[Cha]

22. Thank you for helping to get the positive message out about

Hillary, and just some those wonderfully strong women who support her, mcar!

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. K&R!

[Cha]

27. Mahalo, greataunt!

[nolabear]

23. Thank you! Not giving us credit for voting with our brains is incredibly insulting!

I'm chapped over this one, I have to admit. I suppose it's more irritating coming from a woman.

[Cha]

28. I know it got me mad, too, nolabear.. it's totally insulting to Women everywhere. We have

hearts and brains to think with.. thank you very much Ms Sarandon.

[Gothmog]

26. Great thread

K&R

[Cha]

34. Mahalo, Goth!

[ismnotwasm]

29. K&R

[Cha]

76. Another Strong, Independent, Beautiful Woman for Hillary!

Thank you, ismnotwasm~

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. The point of the vagina talk is that a vote for or against Hillary is not automatic either way. . nt

[Cha]

33. Please don't come into our group and try to tell us what is going on. We know perfectly well what

the damn point is.

No disruptors.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. Since you know it, then it is hardly a disruption. Carry on. nt.

[Cha]

36. And, you don't get to tell me what a "disruption" is .. I'll be the judge of that on my own thread.

[William769]

37. We will carry on with out you.

[Walk away]

61. Now that the Bernie Campaign is attacking Planned Parenthood all over...

the internet, Liberal women will get a better understanding of why it's so important to vote for Hillary! It's not because she is a woman....it's because we are!

[Ellen Forradalom]

83. Thanks for the mansplain n/t

[BlueCaliDem]

32. Beautiful and uplifting OP, Cha!

Thanks so much for sharing. It's nice to see all those strong, independent, and successful women supporting a strong, independent, and successful woman!



and rec'd!

[Cha]

41. It's magical, BlueCali! Really strong, accomplished women!

You'd think the whole world hated her according to the microcosm that is this board.

We have our little corner here to post positive things on Hillary without disruptors... and fortunately enough.. the majority of the Dem voters agree with us!

I can't get over this.. it's so riveting! Thank you.. backatcha!

[William769]

38. Kick & highly recommended!

[William769]

39. 40 years ago and still makes me happy to rejoice in this

2016 will be the year of women.

[Cha]

42. Thank you, William.. that's the perfect song for this thread, and this year as you so

astutely pointed out!

Thank you, Helen Reddy~ 1975!

[lunamagica]

40. K&R. Thank you for this wonderful OP, Cha!

Makes me proud to br a woman, and a Hillary supporter!

[Cha]

45. Aloha lunamagica! I know.. these women are just a bundle of strength, energy,

and a force for good, who know that Hillary has what it takes to get the job done.



Someone gave this to me so I'm passing it on to you!

[riversedge]

43. Wonderful strong intellient women of the worlkd supporting our

future Madam President

A high REC and thanks Cha

[Cha]

46. Mahalo, rivers!

Women of the world indeed!

Thank you!

[Starry Messenger]

44. k&r

[Cha]

48. Mahalo, Starry!

[SunSeeker]

47. Yes indeed!

[Cha]

50. Sistahood's got this one!

Voting with our hearts and minds.

[NastyRiffraff]

49. And not one of them is "voting with her vagina"

What an offensive, condescending thing to say! I was going to reply to that post, but didn't trust myself. I'd probably be banned from DU forever!

[Cary]

51. Right?

Downright creepy.

[Ellen Forradalom]

68. When they say that, they are saying we don't have brains.

That we are just vaginas. How much more clearly can they say that we're subhuman sex objects?

[NastyRiffraff]

70. Exactly!

Why don't we ever hear of men "voting with their penises" when they vote for a man?

[Sancho]

52. Hillary is just getting started. She will be a great President!

[Cha]

54. I know, right! She has such incredilbly strong, intelligent people behind her ... both genders!

Gracias Sancho~

[cheapdate]

53. My dear old mom, a retired social worker, is a strong, intelligent, woman.

She supports Hillary Clinton.

All those DU posters who carelessly insult Hillary's Democratic supporters are too full of themselves. Some of them need to dial it back a notch -- learn to speak your piece and make your case on it's own merits. Your arguments that depend on insults are unseemly and unnecessary.

[Cha]

55. Oh, that's sweet to hear, cheapdate~

Well said.. thank you!

[treestar]

56. Nice compilation

thanks cha!

[Cha]

62. Thank you, treestar!

[Walk away]

57. Great post Cha! I am so proud to support one of the best candidates for POTUS...

the Democratic has ever run for POTUS. When Hillary wins the White House it will be terrifically historic and all American women can share in that victory!

[Cha]

66. Thank you, Walk away! We are steeped in History.. Hillary is the best candidate for POTUS and

as luck would have it.. she'll be the first woman President of the United States of America!

[riversedge]

58. I went thur this thread a while a go but forget to REC. good

for me cause it is great to see these wonderful pics again.

[Cha]

69. You're sweet.. thank you, rivers!

You give us so much.. it's nice give you something.

[oasis]

59. Women will be instrumental in crashing the ultimate glass ceiling in 2016.

All of humanity will benefit.

[Cha]

71. It's so amazingly awesome, oasis!

[Gloria]

60. KICK...the jerks who debase women like this

in the butt!

[Cha]

72. Mahalo Gloria!

[Ellen Forradalom]

63. They pulled that shit in 2008 too

I recall a cartoon posted here of a woman on gynecologist's table at a voting booth--a large reason why I went away from DU for 8 years. I don't recall the exact username of the person who posted it, only that "GOP" was in it.

Lotta manboys and their handmaidens don't want to take orders from a girl.

[betsuni]

67. K&R!

[Cha]

75. Thank you, betsuni!

Thank you, Ellen~

[wildeyed]

84. Kick!

Such a great post, thought it would be fun to see it again.

[Her Sister]

85. yes well done!!

Fitting for International Women's Day!
which is more than fitting for our candidate! who has always been espousing women and children issues/goals.

People try to make us feel ashamed that we are thrilled that our favorite candidate is also a woman!
The Heck with them.

[Cha]

88. Yes, the heck with them.. More strong beautiful women supportng Hill..
