The number of elected officials who considered themselves indebted to the Clintons, and therefore not free to endorse Obama, was staggering. SNIP Bernie Sanders is right that Clinton’s long list of endorsements represents her muscle within the Democratic Party. </blockquote> Her advice? <blockquote> Here are the lines to use: I have been privileged to serve this country in many ways over many years. As I have done so, I’ve made it possible for women to take their place at the table of leadership. I will continue to open up politics to those who haven’t previously had real opportunities to serve. Let’s get all these fired-up young people running for office. </blockquote> rss@dailykos.com (pianogramma) Establishment GenderCard HillaryClinton trustworthiness _1480821 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 13:26:41 +0000 Hillary: If Fighting For Women's Rights "Is Playing The Gender Card, Deal Me In!" https://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/1/10/1468201/-Hillary-If-Fighting-For-Women-s-Rights-Is-Playing-The-Gender-Card-Deal-Me-In Planned <a href="http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Planned-Parenthood-to-Endorse-Hillary-Clinton-in-New-Hampshire-364792161.html" target="_blank">Parenthood held an event today in New Hampshire to officially endorse Hillary Clinton.</a> Hillary delivered a line that drew a rousing cheer from the crowd.

Carly Fiorina thinks because she's a woman, she's Hillary's biggest competitor.  So, in an interview today, she gets asked what I've often heard men running for office get asked:  if you don’t win, are you interested in serving as vice president? Not a "gotcha" question.  A simple "if you don't get the nod, if the person that does asks, would you be willing to take on the role of VP"".  Instead, she played the gender card.  “Would you ever ask a man running for president that question?” Yes Carly.  Yes.  And they HAVE been asked.   And this, after using that same line TWICE yesterday during <a href="http://time.com/3845983/carly-fiorina-vice-president/">an interview with Katie Couric</a> <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2015/05/05/carly-fiorina-just-played-the-gender-card-all-wrong/">http://techcrunch.com/...</a> rss@dailykos.com (StarbucksGirl51) 2016 Election 2016Election CarlyFiorina Gender Card GenderCard _1382711 Tue, 05 May 2015 21:51:12 +0000 Question Palin's Experience and You're a Chauvinist https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/4/586586/-Question-Palin-s-Experience-and-You-re-a-Chauvinist Remember when Senator Obama mentioned that the Republicans would try to scare us by saying he "looks different than the men on the dollar bills," how the Republicans immediately accused Obama of "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/31/mccain-camp-obama-playing_n_116081.html">playing the race card</a>?" It took them all of four days after announcing Sarah Palin as the Republican Vice Presidential nominee to play the gender card. <a href="http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/PressReleases/Read.aspx?guid=f56496b5-a2c7-4a57-8a85-95393715635e">WSJ Opinion Piece: Ignore The Chauvinists.

That is not to say that there has been no sexism in this election cycle, but any such sexism has come from either corporate media, or by Republican bigots. So to those - such as Geraldine Ferraro - <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/19/us/politics/19women.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin">accusing</a> Obama of sexism, and threatening not to vote for him in November out of spite, I say to them, put up or STFU.

I can understand some not wanting to vote for her who disagree with particular issues, but not the hatred. It seems too personal and I just don't get where that level of hatred comes from. I think some must come from the barrage of conservative negativity info, opinions spewed continually towards women in general that has seeped in the MSM watchers mentality, by so many talking heads (particularly on Faux News) with the increase of exploitive portrayal of the 'perfect woman eye-candy'; and the increase of the bible-thumping fundamentalist influence and reinforcement of a woman's role according to the men who wrote the bible. And according to the following article the term of Feminist with younger people appears to be a negative thing.
