I am a Native NY woman who supports Bernie

My Millennial and late Gen X daughters and their spouses (both genders) do also. We all enthusiastically supported and voted for her for our NY Senator. We did not in the last Presidential Election and supported and voted for Obama.

Yes, women's, and gay rights, issues are important to us, but we believe that Bernie is on board with both of those. What don't we like about Hillary? That she is "sleeping with" Wall Street and the Big Corps over we average Americans, whether we are male or female.

Hillary has just assumed her own gender vote, which she did her last run. Never take anything for granted as the saying goes. Of course, if she wins the Democratic Primary we will support and vote for her over any of the Republican Sexist Clown Car, but know that just because we share the same gender does not equal our support. Those who cannot learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it, Hillary.
