Hillary's First Post-Election Vid: "The Future is Female"

[bigtree]

In the clip, which Hillary shot for the 2017 MAKERS Conference, she shares her optimism about what women can and will achieve.

watch:

“Despite all the challenges we face, I remain convinced that yes, the future is female,” she says. “Just look at the amazing energy we saw last month as women organized a march that galvanized millions of people all over our country and across the world.”

The conference, which kicked off Monday in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, brings women together to discuss issues important to all genders...

“We need strong women to step up and speak out,” Clinton says in the video. “We need you to dare greatly and lead boldly. So please, set an example for every women and girl out there who’s worried about what the future holds and wonders whether our rights, opportunities and values will endure.”

She concludes with an encouraging message: “And remember, you are the heroes and history-makers, the glass ceiling-breakers of the future. As I’ve said before, I’ll say again: Never doubt you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world.”

F her.

2. Hillary is not a hater. That is what sets her apart from so many.

She and Bill have always remained about the fray and stayed classy toward their detractors in my opinion.

3. So you liked Susan's advice

to vote third party again and again because Gore was as bad as Bush and Clinton was a bad as Trump?

I could care less who Hillary hates or doesn't hate but I get to hate Susan all on my own and I know that Hillary would support my ability/right to think for myself.

5. If my two daughters are any indication

I can only agree! The elder one turns 34 in March, and the younger one turns 32 tomorrow. Both are self-supporting, independent, strongly opinionated, compassionate and smart. Both are bilingual and bi-cultural.

The elder one chooses to live and work in New York City. She has an interesting, but challenging job in the fashion-business field with a major department store chain, and is slowly moving up the ladder from a slave wage salary to a livable one. I offered to help, but she said she preferred to handle it on her own.

Her younger sister has become the highest paid person in her position in Europe. She works for the German arm of a NYC law firm, and as of January 1, became their youngest ever partner outside of the USA (second youngest, period). While in law school, instead on interning with some judge in the USA, she interned with the U.N. War Crimes Tribunal in Sierra Leone (!!!). She didn't get into a top US law school because on the LSATS, she didn't understand all the complicated English words. Now, she dresses down newly arrived Harvard Law grads for arrogantly waltzing into her office, waving their Harvard degrees, and thinking it's a free ride to success and respect. They often leave in tears, being told their fancy diplomas are useless if they can't write proper English or fully grasp the minutiae of the details necessary to complete the complicated tasks expected of them.

My wife, until her retirement 5 years ago, was an outspoken social worker, willingly taking on hopeless cases, and fighting unwinnable battles with the state bureaucracy on behalf of her charges, who were too weak, too intimidated, or too confused to fight for their next meal or the next month's rent.

All three of them most definitely ARE "valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world." I am most proud of all three of them, and have no hesitation whatsoever to endorse women leaders of competence. The world of macho German politics was turned upside down by Angela Merkel. Fine with me. As far as I'm concerned, the only German politician worthy of succeeding her is Ursula von der Leyen, and if that makes two women in a row, Germany will still be better off than it would be with any of Merkel's current male challengers (including Martin Schultz).
