The (Possible) Future of American Politics

Hillary Rodham Clinton entered the 2016 Democratic presidential campaign on Sunday. For us future voters, it's important to be well informed about the candidates and their visions, in order to cast an educated vote. So let's take a closer look at what moment, some argue, made Hillary.

Hillary, as we all know, is a huge advocate for women's rights. At a UN conference, she declared "human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights." She focuses a lot on the abuses of women and what needs to be changed. She puts women's rights at the center of her agenda and makes sure everyone knows it. 

At this point in her campaign she is focused on introducing a new Hillary. Her early town hall meetings have been in small towns in small community gatherings. This is a new approach to appeal to the people who may not have supported the old Hillary. It's hard to predict whether or not she will continue with this strategy or if she will revert to a more traditional approach to campaigning. 

If you are a feminist and believe what Hillary is doing and fighting for, it looks like you know where your vote will end up in the 2016 election.
