On a related note, earlier in the evening Sanders and Clinton had a heated exchange over gun control.
Hey remember when Bernie Sanders said women fantasize about rape?
Hey remember when Hillary Clinton defended a rapist?
Hey.
What’s that “rape culture” you guys said you were against?
for anyone who sees this, some clarification
sanders’ quote is from a satirical 1972 essay he wrote that examined sexual dynamics between men and women, and he used such extreme language (he also said men prefer tied up women) to help more clearly draw contrasts between male and female sexuality
and “defended” here means “was legally obliged to defend her client in a court of law because that’s her duty as a public defender” even though she did request to be taken off that case in particular way back in 1975
although I know a fair portion of tumblr has already written off Hillary due to, y'know, doing her job and it’s only a matter of time before sanders’ essay gets passed around and taken out of context too
regardless I’d bet that sanders and Clinton have much more pro-women voting stances than literally any of the 18 republican candidates (trump and Carson notwithstanding) despite these out-of-context instances that occurred 40 years ago
In response to the misinformation in this post, I have graded the positions of major candidates according to how well they match up to progressive positions on issues. Sources for each candidate’s stances, further commentary and explanations are under the read more.
Posting this here for those who would like to vote for a Democrat, just not the one that will screw us all over. Bernie Sanders seems like the best way to go.
Well aight
team “not really ready for hillary, who is just another manifestation of White Feminism continuing to perpetuate racist and classist power structures, but unwilling to allow a republican, who does all that and so much more, into the white house instead, so i guess i’m voting for hillary???”
