Breastfeeding mother at Bernie Sanders rally almost breaks the internet

[bemildred]

Elle Bradford became an unexpected hit at a Bernie Sanders rally on Friday after a photo of her breastfeeding ignited debate across the internet.

Bradford, from Ohio, bought her six-month-old daughter Harper along to a Cleveland rally when Harper decided she was hungry - and she wasn't going to wait to be fed.

Speaking to a local news station, Bradford said:

There is no, 'I'm feeding you in 10 minutes' - It's 'I'm feeding you right here, right now, or you're screaming'.

2. That was beautiful.

As a mother who nursed each of her four babies, I certainly understand that. Hopefully her poetry gets through to others.

13. no children here, but it certainly came through to me

Beautiful!

15. Great words

Fascinating dichotomy that spawns them. As a child - as a father - I've responded accordingly. This incident - this viral photo - highlight one more facet of what the Sanders/WE revolution is really about.

9. From the linked article:

"Bernie and Jane O'Meara Sanders both thanked me for doing what mothers do and taking care of my daughter when she needed her mom, even if that meant nursing in public!"

19. If they ever voted that really would be a political revolution

I can't see them going for Trump because they aren't racist.

This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend

It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended
If anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended
My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying

This is where the party ends
I'll just sit here wondering how you
Can stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
You and your racist friend

One of my offspring was into some of that, but we never really discussed it much. I'm an old hippie, so it didn't phase me.
