Why Hillary Clinton wore purple to concede to Donald Trump

Excerpted FTA:
Purple was a new colour for Clinton and her husband Bill, with the former president also wearing the same royal purple colour on his tie.
The colour is significant for its association to the Suffragette movement, something her supporters evoked when encouraging women to wear white to the polling booths this week.
Hillary Clinton famously wore purple lapels as a show of unity after her election defeat.
Purple, white and green originated in the political union in Britain and were introduced to the US in the 1900s.
The colours became the uniform of the modern women’s movement. Nearly 100,000 women wearing white and ribbons of green, purple and gold marched on Washington in 1978 in support of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Purple is also associated with lesbian and other-identified women.
A more depressing reading of Clinton’s choice is that in the Victorian era, purple was the colour of mourning.
It’s somewhat appropriate as many of her supporters continue to grieve her defeat, as she failed to become the first woman to make it all the way to the Oval Office.
“Now, I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday someone will — and hopefully sooner than we might think right now,” she said.
“And to all of the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.”

2020 New Zealand election a ‘juicy target’ for major hack - John Podesta
Tova O’Brien 10/03/2019 (3-10-2019)
FTA:
“There are other actors in the region including China that may have a high degree of interest in being able to penetrate what the private conversations of people in NZ politics and NZ Government are looking at,” Mr Podesta says.
New Zealand is a member of the Five Eyes spy network, a powerful intelligence club made up of the US, UK, Canada, Australia and us.
He says we’re a “juicier target”, and should guard against hacked information being weaponised as fake news.
“What’s new is this weaponisation - the use of social media to spread discord, lies, dissatisfaction - that’s I think what you’ve got to look out for,” he says.
Mr Podesta played a starring role in one of the great conspiracy theories of the election - his hacked emails included an exchange about a Washington DC pizza joint called Comet Ping Pong.
“[The rumours were] that HC and I were running a child porn ring, which had no basis in anything, but a guy showed up with a gun and ended up shooting up a pizza parlour,” he says.
This is a cautionary tale from someone who understands too well the influence and damage hacking and fake news can do.
New Zealand is not exempt - and Newshub understands it’s something the Prime Minister is seriously concerned about.
Mr Podesta is in New Zealand for a Global Progressives event.
