Hillary had been vilified for two decades by the time election season rolled around in 2015. So many of my friends and family said to me "I just can't get myself to vote for Hillary". When asked why, their answer's were inevitably the media talking points, never anything about her actual record as First Lady, Senator, or Secretary of State. Sadly to say perhaps the two attributes working best for Biden is that he's white and a male. That's not to disparage Joe. Everyone likes him even on the other side. Just listen to the Lindsey Graham quotes from the Lincoln Project ad. He's a man of great heart, integrity, and empathy-the anti Trump. But what is it going to take for this country to see women, especially women of color on an equal footing with men? When it comes to equality, we as a nation have a long way to go. Hopefully the demonstrations that began because of the brutal murder of George Floyd is a sign that things are finally starting to change.

I join all my friends in pointing out that both Clintons, Bill and Hillary, were the subjects of vicious RW attacks for the best part of 40 years. No charge was too absurd for the RW to create. No charge was too absurd for “the Media” to investigate.

It really goes too far to assert “women hating” as the main cause of such attacks. It’s just one arrow in the quiver of RW attacks on Democrats.

I’m particularly grateful that Theodora has joined with the concept that America’s problems didn’t start with Trump. The ramification is that removing Trump will not solve those problems. The problems run through the entire Republican Party. We can only hope the “Never Trumpers” have seen what the Republican policies create. Perhaps they’ve repented.
