HILLARY'S RUNNING... (Will Monica Lewinsky vote for Hillary Clinton?)
The Associated Students of CSU Long Beach Weekly ^ | April 20, 2015 | Hanna Suarez

Posted on 04/21/2015 12:41:41 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Here’s the thing—the Tea Party, and the GOP horrify me. I might not know all the details about their campaigns, and I might not know what exactly HRC is planning, but one thing is for sure: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Jeb Bush are absolutely bad news.

Many feminists including myself are “excited” about the idea of a woman holding office in the White House. But it is a very dull excitement, muffled by the fact that this racist police state will have nothing to offer us, regardless of who is sitting in The Oval Office. Just as Obama’s election did not eradicate systematic racism, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s position in the white house will not dismantle the patriarchy; it will not create a matriarchal society.

Needless to say, people who are anti-HRC simply because she is a woman, are misogynists. All of that bull**** about women “not being leaders,” or women being “deceitful,” “overly emotional,” or whatever, is a waste of my time and analysis. What is attention-worthy is the criticism about Hilary’s methods and feminism. The question remains: will she implement a feminist agenda if she holds office?

See, there are criticisms about HRC that revolve around her fundraising and campaign scandals—whoa, big news, politicians are dirty trash. In past interviews and debates, HRC appears wish-washy about her opinions (i.e. gay marriage, withdrawing troops from the Middle East) and her opponents call her hypocritical—once again, old news. There have been several instances in which Hillary has supported rights and recognition for women, in state and global contexts, but what will she do for brown and black women, for queer women and trans women? Clinton’s campaign website offers “Getting Started,” a video that offers visibility for single mothers, mothers trying to educate themselves, a gay couple, and various business people and people of color. But to me, the video screams tokenism, and marketing tactics.

She is a feminist, and she is pro-choice, which for me are arguably the only things she has going for her in comparison to the gun wielding, pro-lifer misogynist likes of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. Hey, maybe if we all organize and mobilize we can find a third-party candidate that makes all of our radical dreams come true—or better yet, we can take down and end this capitalist government machine, who knows? As of now, this writer will admittedly vote Clinton in 2016, but I’ll remain optimistic for the former options.

Now, before I let you all engage in heated debates about HRC and the GOP, I do want to address a question that our opinions editor posed: Do you think Monica Lewinsky will vote for her [HRC]? And you know what, after watching Lewinsky’s recent TED Talk, I think she would. Lewinsky looks back on the scandal as a mistake—but as we know, most 22-year-olds make mistakes. Her bigger message in the talk revolves around the toxicity and violence that victim-blaming and cyber bullying produce. Lewinsky analyzes the scandal in a constructive way, and offers ways to have a positive and empathetic Internet presence. She has a very modern perspective, and is a victim and survivor of manipulation and of these modern forms of abuse; she understands the potential dangers of mass media and social media. To be honest, I would rather vote for Monica Lewinsky.

Hanna sounds like a 14 year old girl writing in a Facebook post to her friends, only less articulate.

I refuse to engage this type of nonsense on the merits.

Pretty typical college kid stupidity. I’d bet Monica will vote for Hillary just because she’s so stupid.

The woman who wrote this article is a classic liberal dingbat. Uninformed, relying on emotion instead of logic, and totally clueless. Of course America would like to see a female president. A strong, intelligent, commanding woman who could be a leader on the World Stage, somebody we could be proud of. Like a Margaret Thatcher.
Why would we want a shrill, weak, incompetent old bat with a war chest full of dirty money from our enemies overseas?

So where is your tolerance, sister?

Every time Lewinsky pops up in the news I’m amazed by her total lack of shame.

Humidor...how can any one be in her presence without sniggering muchless laughing out loud.
