It just hit me – when reading Peggy Noonan and other right wingers praising Bo and saying it’s no longer Dem vs GOP but new vs old” now – they are actually right!
Not about the age 
but they revealed that the whole party politics system in this race is 
ed up. It just became irrelevant all of a sudden.
Democrats worked actively against Hillary – some right wingers are trying to subvert their own.
Which leaves us, disenfranchised Hillary voters with “women vs men” dynamic.
Of course, we can enlarge this into the “people vs the elites” dynamic – as the arugula article prooved – but it’s just less obvious to people.
So, I’ll stay with this:
“Whatever helps Women this fall is what helps ME”
It’s a very liberating thought and it provides a good answer to “but how can you vote GOP?”
I am not sure which party I’ll end up picking in November – but one thing I know: what advances the women’s cause best is my course of action.
So, keep them legs crossed boyz, we’re coming for you!
both parties, its us women now!

It’s so interesting how many people were left so embittered by this primary! I was also a Hill supporter, but in the end I just have to admit that Obama had more people on his side. And I’m not any more important than they are, so I don’t resent their win (though I do resent some things that were said, I admit).
I just have to say – though I assume you will be voting Dem come November (because Republicans for women, really? hahahaha), I’m sad you’ve chosen to consider only that one issue. I care about women’s issue and it’s a huge part of why I vote Democratically – but I also care about and vote on behalf of gays, the envirenment, the Rest of the World, social services (hey there, healthcare, public schools, social security – how’s it going?), and I vote for those things. Basically – just in general to all the hurt people who are feeling this way – I hope we are able to take our losses and keep in mind the big picture. It’s so important we not screw up right now.

Which “win” would that be?
Hillary got more votes and more pledged delegates (without the RBC creative math) – so there’s nothing to resent.
The big picture is that the Democratic party betrayed its base. And by stealing our votes proved it’s no better than the GOP.
