The question in the thread is "how do feminists supporters of Hillary reconcile her well documented actions V what she says she stands for and what many of her supporters consider a major issue-     So far most of the answers have been something about Trump or lesser of 2 evils kind of thing and/or some type of Faustian bargain-  but none of the answers make an effort to reconcile her actions V what she says she stands for -  I think the reason is, it would be difficult if not impossible to do- 

You do recognize that those two are completely different things, right? 

As for her actions vs. words, I agree with your criticism of her attacks on Bill's lovers (which she did before they were proven true), but that does not invalidate for instance her policy positions etc.  Suppose she had been super anti-gay before she supported them (which is not true; she didn't support gay marriage but it would be wrong to say she was fighting on the other side).  That would complicate her political character, but it would not erase the fact that she is wholeheartedly supporting gay rights now.  In a similar sense, her attacks on women involved in Bill's affairs is bad but does not mean she cannot be good for feminist policy, especially when that stuff happened decades ago. 

What kind of "reconciliation" are you imagining, Dunban?
