I'm with her, her, her, her, her, her her...

My decision to vote for Hillary Clinton was not because she's a woman. I voted for Hillary because out of all the candidates there was no one better qualified than her. Given the amount of time she has spent in and around the White House, her understanding of our political system, foreign affairs, etc. I couldn't think of someone who would be able to approach the job with a better understanding of what it entails. I'm with her because she has the domestic and international experience and cool as a cucumber demeanor to navigate the intricacies of our government and the governments of other nations. I'm with her because she has worked her entire career for this opportunity, sacrificing in ways I will never know. Even though I am with her, I am not against him.

I'm not a huge President Trump fan given the character he has presented. I don't necessarily agree with him on much either. But I can be grateful that he has brought to light some of this country's deep rooted issues forcing people to engage in dialogue around issues that we have bandaged and re-bandaged for so long. I'm equally appreciative of him for bringing to light just how undercutting women can be to one another. We may walk different walks, we may talk different talks, but in the end we all have a shared connection. Now don't get me wrong, I may not always be the most positive or understanding when it comes to decisions made by my sisters but i'm a work in progress. It is my hope and my intention to be more supportive, more understanding, more loving to my sisters no matter their walk in life because I have learned that a win for one is a win for all.
