For instance, Hilary's feminist values which empower women in the corporate sphere is a worthy struggle, but it's no lie that this kind of empowerment doesn't reach all women. By no means is the author asserting that Hilary's values are in any way moot or rubbish. Rather, she's inviting readers not to forget the struggle of traditionally silenced minorities - she's more so arguing for one movement (that serves women who can even access the corporate sphere in the first place) not being uplifted at the expense of another group (minority race women in rural/socioeconomically underprivileged areas being forgotten) that is similarly desperately in need of empowerment.
On another point, critiquing Hilary's feminism has nothing to do with supporting Republicanism. She might like the foundations of Hilary's work, but wishes it was more encompassing than exclusive. It's not a matter of dissent - do you expect her to take it face down? She's not condoning anarchy, or even calling for revolution. It's important not to regard mini-narratives as 'dissent' or questioning the unquestionable authority, but as conducive to a more inclusive vision of democratic freedom.

lmao you and the author of this article think from a very ideallic view of politics, not how that game works unfortunately
to your first point: Hilary stands a better chance than Bernie Sanders or virtually any other opposing republican nominee to reach out to this very small facet of the American people. And her campaign literally just started so let's give her a little time before cracking her feminism for not being applicable enough. you have a very poor grip on politics if you think everything happens instantaeously or over night.
to your second point, by proxy she is supporting republicanism, even if only implicitly. I said what I said: dissension like this when minority groups and all democrats really need to be rallying more than ever to keep another Bush out of the office is so toxic to democratic chances of keeping the presidency. and as someone who is more in accordance with liberal / democratic views, this article reads very annoyingly to me
no politician is ever going to satisfy everyone because as soon as Hilary caters to this group, there will be an article from an Asian American woman who comes from an immigrant family detailing the longstanding struggle of their people in America and how neglected they've been. You can't please everyone all at once, and sometimes being a minority or part of a disenfranchised group means waiting your turn and hoping that you get called next for equality. I'm not comparing gays and racial groups so don't come for me idc idc idc but I personally got lucky this go around, the time / president was right and look what happened? except that was an easy and obvious fix. what this person is asking for wont even be achieved with just Hilary as president, so her issues with her and her inapplicable feminism (still literally EXACTLY what she is saying) are inconsequential. Sorry! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Modern feminists KILL me.
Nothing is gonna be done about the illegal immigrants (at least for now) because Americans do have a negative view on them. Also they aren't gonna legalize them either because they are doing Jobs americans wont do, and for way cheaper like construction & picking up crops.
