Can’t We All Just Get Along - From a Nonpartisan Feminist

Can’t We All Just Get Along is the title of an article by Cynthia Ruccia on The New Agenda, a non-partisan womens rights website. The basic thrust of the piece is that women, both left and right wingers, should support high powered women in politics. Cynthia complains that women comprise only 17% of Congress and have not won either the Presidency or VP.

I believe it’s naïve to think that all women, regardless of political affiliation will support someone because of her sex. The country is ready to elect a female President as well as send additional women to Congress. If alpha female Senator Clinton had started her campaign with a better organization, she would probably be the President-elect today.

It’s an interesting article with a number of thought-provoking comments. Definitely worth reading.
