History of Feminism

The author notes his voting record and discusses the fact that he, like all politicians, speaks to the issues he cares most about. He explicitly told a group of firefighters their economic position was the more important issue. That is how he sees the world.

Now, I really have no patience for the inane politics of personality. I consider my rights more important than the career of your favorite politician. You refuse to honestly engage with the article and instead resort to the strawman-type arguments. I've also seen enough posts from you where you addressed issues like action to promote voting rights, extending civil rights protection to rape victims, the Lilly Ledbetter Act, and other achievements that go to support the rights of the subaltern as peanuts or crumbs. You clearly are at one with Sanders on your sense of priorities, though I would hope he would not be so dismissive of key advances in equal rights. You have the right to advance any political view you choose, but this is a feminist group and it is not the place to complain because women are not sufficiently reverential to someone you consider a great man. Placing a politician above the people he seeks to represent is a profoundly conservative worldview. It shows hostility to civic engagement, is anti-democratic and anti-egalitarian.
