21. this was seriously not to prove a "winner"

or prove which is more important. That's why I used the word prevalent.

I just find it interesting talking to friends and even strangers about this election. Trump embodies both, Clinton brings out one. I would imagine it is different depending on what area of the country you live in, I live in Ohio but work in NY. noticeable difference between the two. Working in a very corporate business, sexism is very noticeable, as you stated.

We are all Humans, just very sad that we are so divided.
Thanks for replying in a thoughtful manner, appreciated.

this was seriously not to prove a "winner" RazBerryBeret Jul 2016 #21

And yet it is structured so that the responder must pick a "winner." Perhaps the problem is Squinch Jul 2016 #25

OK, I understand, but I still think it's too hard to choose one over the other. athena Jul 2016 #27

Excellent post. I would add two words to one of your sentences: chknltl Jul 2016 #31

I agree with that. Birds of a feather. Rex Jul 2016 #28

It's great to finally be able to agree with a Bernie supporter on something! athena Jul 2016 #29

We agree here so far but maybe not further. chknltl Jul 2016 #34

You shouldn't assume to know what others believe athena Jul 2016 #37

Nor should you. chknltl Jul 2016 #38

I personally believe Clintons position is more strong. She addressed the unlevel playing field those seabeyond Jul 2016 #39
