It is evidence of her plotting and scheming her way to the WH 50 years later.

In reality it is evidence that she has worked and advocated for women and children since college. While at Yale she did legal work for abused women and kids. She has worked throughout her life in one capacity or another with that focus. Even on the Walmart board she tried to get them to hire and advance more women, while she was there, they did. When she left they reverted to their old pattern of discrimination and ended up being sued for it.

People use these examples to condemn her as being for the 1%, consciously omitting that they gave her a venue to promote and advocate for women and children.

My post also says something about me. I started out to find articles on her work in SC and ended up reading 7 + articles on a completely different. Easily sidetracked.

I make no joke when I tell people my entire life I have voted for who I thought would be the best for the country as a whole. I have seen my rights, along with women's rights be politically legislated away. No fucking more. I am now a single issue voter and will only vote for those who put equal rights over the religious bigotry in this country. If anyone doesn't like it, they can fuck off. My body and soul is not, I repeat is not a political compromise, nor is it a political toy.
