Structural #misogyny is as deeply entrenched as #racism. Women are paid less: only 5% of highest wage earners & 80% of lowest. 1 in 5 is raped, 1 in 4 a victim of DV. Hillary addressed BOTH racism & misogyny AND pledged to create a gender & race parous admin, upending status quo.

No other woman in US history got within reach of political power that #HillaryClinton did.
It took 242yrs.
Somehow that doesn't register with folks as a huge issue: that folks STILL want to invalidate HRC's accomplishments to refute what was done to her: A stolen presidency.

For weeks the nation stopped to fight for Al Gore in 2000. There wasn't a moment or a single recount for #HillaryClinton.
Why not?
Why did we just accept that states that hadn't voted #GOP in decades had narrowly--mere thousands, less than a half percent of votes--gone red?

Why did we discount 3M more votes and claim those 3M Americans didn't matter?
This question will be part of the historical record and will not treat it kindly. The men--because no women were/are in power--who could have done something to address this did not.
Disgraceful.

What no one, STILL, wants to acknowledge, is the impact misogyny has on our political system and how much ignoring that factor will continue to impact the nation.
America needs a woman POTUS to have someone, just once, speak for the 52%, the majority, the women of this country.

This isn't just about #HillaryClinton. It's about representation.
We all remember that amazing photo of the little black boy touching Obama's hair in the Oval.
We were cheated--literally--of little girls having a similar moment.
And yet, the focus is STILL on #HillaryClinton.

Every day @FoxNews reports on #HillaryClinton as if she WERE president.
Every week some center left or left publication--this week it was @TheAtlantic--claims Hillary is the real danger to America.
The obsession with #HillaryClinton is endemic to all political strata.

Trump actually got his DOJ to open an investigation into his former opponent.
And they have.
There will he hearings about her this week.
Seriously.
Like in Russia.
Stalinesque.
And the left & center, which should be outraged, is meh.

This country has made an example of this one woman of what not to do.
Do not strive for power as a woman.
Do not tell the truth about #racism and #misogyny.
Do not fight for your right to be an elder statesperson like every other man who has ever been nominated for POTUS.

Every day liberals and leftists decry the stolen #SCOTUS seat of #MerrickGarland and no one says "stop."
But the mostly women and POC who say the same about #HillaryClinton are dismissed and demeaned and told to "get over it."
We should never get over the injustice of this.

This is what really happened.
▪No one fought for the 1st woman nominee.
▪No one fought for the woman who got more votes than anyone in US history except Obama 2008.
▪No one fought for the person 3M more Americans voted for.
You have to keep asking why--though you know.
