The woman card, her lead in? Her campaign's defense to everything. They don't really want to discuss the real issues, they want to play games that distract us from them.

Then again, here we are sizing up our woman cards. FFS! This whole contrived woman card crap is just fodder for the masses to distract, once again, from real issues. If you think you're cool, or sassy, or what ever, pulling a wasteful peice of plastic out of your back pocket (that will eventually be on fuxking landfill), more power to you.

In the meantime, oil pipeline explosions in PA and in TX. Carrier workers are protesting their plant being shut down, and begging for urgent trade deal changes to save their jobs. There's also equal pay. Raising minimum wage to a livable wage. Making healthcare and prescription care affordable. Making quality education affordable. Cuts in TANF. IL still doesn't have a budget. I could go on, but wait, look, squirrel. Oh no, it's just my woman card. heeheehee hahaha, I mean that's so cool, right? Let's make it go viral! (Did you know that Hill's just learned what Viral meant back in February from a kid? Totally truesies!!!)

So instead of taking the opportunity to have a real discussing on women's issues, while at the same time completely ignoring him - here we are playing Tracy Flick vs the world.

You know trolls are attention whores. You pay attention to them, and they just want more. You don't engage him. Go have a conversation with the voters. Give a speech outlining the real issues and provide real detailed solutions. Don't even mention the stupid card. Shut ignorance out of the conversation - don't become part of it.

Do you understand? That is how you discuss the issues when dealing with someone like that. You change the channel.

She's used it wrongly all through her campaign.

Look at the card - it's only a campaign slogan for Hillary(not equal pay). That's all it means to her.
to promote her campaign.

Bernie is for equal pay and equal rights. But he has a lifetime of that(which she and her supporters want to devalue as they willingly support blatant corruption.)

I guess this just shows the truth about her and them. The truth has been there all along. Us liberals against corruption were just hoping the people supporting it so much were uninformed. They aren't. They choose it knowingly.

And what good is it for discrimination when it gets politicized as one of a warhawk's campaign logos?

The very real women and children killed by Hillary's actions, ends her being a feminist for me. I am a woman and a consistent feminist. This devalues the woman card. Women need to use it for real and when it's right to use it. Hillary uses it as a campaign tool.

If there is one thing that should alarm Republicans the most, it’s that Trump has already “pivoted,” to use the well-worn cliche — that is, from trying to appear restrained and presidential (as his aides suggested he was doing) to renewing his determination to do everything possible to alienate female voters in the showdown against Clinton. Here’s one quote from yesterday:

-------

Late last night, Clinton responded with this: “If fighting for women’s health care, and paid family leave, and equal pay is ‘playing the woman’s card,’ then deal me in.”

It could have included women from Susan B. Anthony to Madeline Albright. Hillary had some pretty amazing job approval numbers back then and probably would have gone into the binder too. Although (on edit) it occurs to me that it might not have been allowable to use a sitting Secretary of State in that manner.
