10 Reasons to be with Hillary #ImWithHer

1.    In spite of recent accusations, she is both radical and progressive. She is the first First lady to be elected to the Senate, and only the 3^rd woman to be appointed Secretary of State. On top of all this, she was perhaps the most politically active First Lady the US has seen, getting stuck into domestic and international issues, which caused some controversy back in the day.

2.    She is the pantsuit Queen. Why would you want to deny the world of a pantsuit wearing President?

3.    She has the most executive experience of all the nominees including the Republican candidates. Her resume includes developing global trade deals, elevating women’s rights to new heights, and uniting a coalition in Qadhafi’s downfall and Libya’s transition. She has practised politics more than anyone else, and this ultimately, is how a President gets things done. It is through practising politics daily, rather than waiting for a dream, too-good-to-be-true candidate that we make progress. #Bitchesgetshitdone

4.    She’s the best of both worlds. Along with being an experienced politician, she's been an activist all her life. She has championed and got her hands dirty in grassroots movements since being a leader in the student’s movement in the 1960’s. She’s rad.

5.    The first female President following the first black President just feels right , doesn’t it?

6.    She cares about your health. She was one of the first senior politicians to champion what we now know as Obamacare back in the 90’s, before Obama was even on the scene. Hillary has expressed that she would take Obamacare one step further to be universal, as she originally intended it.

7.    People criticise her for being cosy with Wall Street, with many big banks making donations to her campaign. But she actually has big plans for reforming the financial system just like Bernie.

8.    Can you imagine the force of nature that would be President Hillary Clinton and Vice President Bernie Sanders? A liberal Democrat super team. *angelic singing*

9.    She is a big believer in diplomacy and using military action as a last resort. During Libya’s uprising, she was a key uniting figure, bringing rebels and politicians together to create an international alliance. Unlike Senator Sanders, she has experience in making tough global decisions on a daily basis, after all, it was her job for 4 years.

10. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a feminist, and protecting women’s reproductive rights by keeping government funding for Planned Parenthood and protecting the right to abortion is one of her major priorities. One of her first political acts as First Lady was to speak at the UN’s 4^th World Conference on Women, declaring, “Women’s rights are human rights”. You can watch her speech here. Surely having a woman as leader of the free world is the ultimate feminist achievement?
