I hear her. I’m a female Bernie supporter and I’m tired of bernie supporters being talked about like we (female supporters) don’t exist. I’m not a “Bernie bro”, nor am I sexist, and I care about civil liberties, just like Sanders.
Now I am waiting for a circle of mean girls to start throwing tampons at him.
Just doing my job.
Yeah, but not one of those little bastards tried to quarter soldiers in his home.
“but I have spent my entire life fighting to defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.”
I could, I’m just not letting you dictate the terms of our discussion. Dear.
That’s fine, you are entitled to your beliefs, and I’m not trying to change your mind about who you chose to support. And while I agree that racism and sexism to play a major role in inequality, I think you would have a hard time making the case that they are the primary cause, it’s simply not supported by the facts.…
Well, that’s not what we were discussing a minute ago when you said his criticism of certain congresspeople meant he was calling Liz Warren a corporate whore also, but I realize it’s hard to keep track of comments in a long thread.
A woman in charge does not scare me. A human being as morally corrupt and hollow as Hillary Clinton DOES give me pause... and I don’t think that makes me a sexist. And Bernie isn’t the lord and savior of anything... he is merely the next evolutionary step in mainstream liberal politics and policy.
In this capacity, politicians are losing their power to use our identities to control us. What we’re witnessing are the violent death throes of a highly stratified society built upon scapegoating, xenophobia, “otherness”, and racial and gender divides: A society that can no longer use those tools to oppress us.
Socialism that is not also feminist will fail. Anyone who claims to support social democracy ought to understand that workers’ rights and civil rights are unattainable without unifying rhetoric; this includes Bernie’s supporters.
You’re not as outraged as they are and that makes them even more outraged.
i’m a feminist, and i recognize “the parlance of our times” includes “whore = someone who sold out to a powerful interest”. a male politician who takes donations from special interests is, by this definition, a whore.
Exactly. Everyone understands the actual criticism beneath the language, but the end result is this presents yet another opportunity for cynical identity-politicking from the Clinton campaign.
The criticism is valid, the phrase is unfortunately a distraction from that, in the context of many Clinton supporters claiming that Sanders and his supporters are misogynists. Do I think many democrats are corporate whores? You betcha. Do I think anyone is talking about that today rather than this “sexist attack”?…
This is one of those situations where people are upset because they know it reveals a truth they don’t want to acknowledge. And it’s exactly what you said and it’s an approporiate use of the word since it’s talking about taking money from these corporations for services rendered. Like repealing Glass-Steagall and then…
They are literally but a raging, drunk mob of Reavers, in confederate flag bathrobes.
I honestly can’t wait until Trump either loses the primary or the general election. These goose-stepping fuckwads are going to lose. their. shit. and it is going to be glorious to behold. It’ll be like the crazy Romney lady all over again, but en masse.
The jig is up buttercup
