Feminism, Bernie and why I'm still in Hillary's corner

Of course it's okay for feminists to vote for Bernie, but what bothers me is when I see women trying to re-define feminism as "voting your heart". I understand the sentiment but that is not the definition of feminism. 

fem·i·nism

ˈfeməˌnizəm/

noun

1. the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.

I strongly feel that a Hillary/Bernie ticket would be incredible. Bernie would get to be the crazy old guy VP who would, in all actuality, get more done. He would also help hold Hillary accountable. It would be grand if the whole of the USA would suddenly look towards socialism in a positive way, but that's not our reality. Our politicians are in love with this capitalistic system. Hillary has put in her time and has had to make some tough decisions as woman in a position of power in our patriarchal society. I can't imagine how difficult that has been. If she doesn't win this time around I cannot see another woman currently in power who has the time, experience, stamina and financial backing to run and win POTUS for a long, long time. 

If only we could get the general population to put this much energy into who we elect into congress - where the REAL problem is....

As a feminist I love Bernie Sanders and appreciate how he's making Hillary a better candidate, but my heart is with Hillary this time around.
