The hypocrisy of the latest round of Bernie-bashing

[lexington filly]

210. I've not had any part in a hateful Bernie v Hillary and

my issue doesn't involve either of them. What newly opened all this up is a Kansas candidate for mayor which has absolutely nothing to do with "war and peace" except within our party. Many times I've voted for a lesser of two evils candidate. This doesn't fall into that category. Too many people are trying to persuade women that what WE find extremely important, isn't 'that' important, in the balance, and perhaps in the interest of winning elections, we should 'go along to get along.'

This is a "our bottom line" category. Many of us on this Board know in our bones that there's no such thing as equal rights without reproductive rights. Women of means or access to means enjoy these rights in America as did all women until the ultra Religious Right took over the Republican Party. A willingness and duty to stand-up for Reproductive Rights aren't bargaining chips in our Democratic elections. Not in a local super red Kansas race or a state-wide or national race. Anywhere. The ultra Rel Right can't have our rights or our Party. And that's on my list of 'hills to die on' rather than a wish list or the lesser of two evils.
