A couple in California, Eric Wing and Stacey Sampo, made a video about Hillary Clinton’s history of feminism that is going viral in a good way…because it’s AWESOME!
Sampo made her motivations behind making the video very clear when she said:
“‘It’s important for people to see women in positions of power… It’s time, I think our country needs that,’ Sampo told The Huffington Post.”
Our country is certainly getting that because of this video.
“The video went viral last week after comedy writer and Upworthy curator Lori White shared it on her author page. To date, it has more than 7,000 likes and more than 15,000 shares — many from young women, some of whom are fans of Sanders.”
Wing and Sampo expressed their frustration over Clinton’s critics, which inspired them to make the video.
“‘Whenever she’s not running for office, she’s beloved by everybody,’ said Wing, expressing an opinion that writer Sady Doyle recently outlined in an essay for Quartz, ‘but as soon as she starts to go up against a man, frankly, suddenly all the Republican talking points start coming out and they seem to stick.
I wanted people to see how long she has been in politics,’ echoed Sampo, ‘how long she has been advocating for people who need a voice.'”
The truth is that no matter which views Clinton has needed to “evolve” on over the years, one fight has remained central to her: women’s rights really are human rights, and change for women in a patriarchal culture is long overdue. On these points, she has never wavered.
