Random think.

I'm going to say no on account of the whole "defended a rapist" thing, and obviously Bill's history, but she would have been ten times harder on Sanders and his 'Berniebros' and she probably would have said little about Trump because someone of his character getting elected would have been seen as a foregone conclusion.

How would she have felt about Stein?

I'd like to say Dworkin would feel warmer toward a fellow Jewish feminist, but picking a man to be her running mate = cardinal sin.

In fact, Wiki says she was an anarchist, so I could see her hypothetically advocating a non-vote for women.  Because an election decided only by men would do wonders for the feminist cause, you see.

Who did Catherine McKinnon and Robin Morgan support? Does anyone know? Does anyone even care? IIRC Morgan did support Hillary Clinton in '08, but I never heard anything from her this time. I think you made a good case, but a part of me still wants to say yes.

I think you're straw-womanning Dworkin a little. Keep in mind her marriage to John Stoltenberg.
