The aforementioned blog post with the above photo has made me reconsider some of my own bias.
Biases that have been shaped by over 20 years of attack on the woman, some fair, but most unfair. I find that even most of the left, even her supporters believe more of the caricature , than we care to admit.
This photo shows me a woman who works hard behind the scenes, does not need a gold throne to sat on in a fancy room, and makes me realize, you know, there’s more to the woman than the public persona.
Please read the blog at the link above for all the author’s thought, but this stuck with me.
This photo of a woman whose country has often been unfathomably cruel to her, doing her homework so that she can be prepared to be its leader, because she loves this country even when it doesn’t love her back, while its flag pokes into the frame from the corner, a symbol of the history, culture, industry, future of a great and struggling nation, stoically petitioning her from its perch above a dirty carpet in a small room.
Can you even picture The Donald, here, reading?
I leave you with:
I do not need Clinton to be on a pedestal. I can see her just fine sitting on a folding chair.
