31. I wonder about that, too.

I think it is because so many feminists have long dreamed of a day when we would have a woman president. And also some of us felt a great deal of outrage at the way Hillary was treated as First Lady. There were many scurrilous and misogynistic statements made about her over and over again, and she conducted herself with dignity then. I admired her.

But that was then, and this is now. What I have seen of her since 2008 has disturbed me greatly. I feel very dismayed and worried for the future of the country and the world, given that that our only choices are likely to be her or a man who is unfit for any government position.

This is what our party has brought us to, thanks to the DLC and the Clinton presidency.
