An awful lot of these kinds of views expressed so prolifically on this website aren't mainstream, or even shared by the majority of democrats.

I see no constructive position on your part.
Emily's List supported Hrc and they have clearly moved on, why can't you?

Thanks Jules! There are about 50 women running for offices this year, I believe. It seems that those who are truly concerned about sexism would be telling us this and providing the information for us. Unless, of course it is yet another attempt to USE this as an excuse to plead to be pandered to until November.
To suggest that ANYONE should hide their thoughts about Hillary, her campaign or her existence on this earth to pander to those who like her is childish! The world does not work that way.
It never ceases to amaze me how spoon fed those who CLAIM to be Hillary supporters based on some feminist perspective expect to be.
It is however, entertaining to see those who have bitched about all Obama supporters being brained washed (drinking the Koolaid, hypnotized, etc) now claiming that we don't hold "mainstream" party line views.
Is that an admission that those supporting Obama here are doing so based on unique and original thought processes that lead them to their choice?
Is independent assessment a "bad" thing in the eyes of a Hillary person?
