I don't know the exact details of what happened here, but the AZ Republican Party has been about as rabidly pro-Trump as any, and Kelli Ward just got Trump's endorsement and played a video of it, but apparently some lunatic Trumpers were still mad at her and tried to disrupt the meeting. If and when the Republican Party does rid itself of Trump, I think a lot of the "normal" Republicans who'd be ready to go back to business as usual, and even some of the shameless grifters who tried to ride the wave of his popularity, are going to be alarmed when they find out his radicalized base is going to keep on being crazy without him.

there's like eight different potential conversations to strike up from that source, which one are you referencing?

That people don't talk about the fact that Bernie has the privilege to sit there like a curmudgeon while women and especially minority women often have to pretend they feel one way when they really feel another because there's repercussions for being emotionally honest for those people, and this takes labor.

It's less a criticism of Bernie and more a statement about white male privilege, and pretty true.

hard nah

the pulp of that conversation is "it would be unacceptable for a woman to do the same thing!" and then whoops, turns out janet yellen did the exact same thing and nobody got up in arms about it


i guess you could try the follow-up tactic of "women are pressured to smile and be pretty all the time, men should have to as well" but that's actually "it's fair for me to demand that others suffer as i have" in a lovely disguise and i hope i don't need to explain to you why that's a garbage opinion for garbage people

actually the point of that was to mention the fact that women are reguarly required to do that, i doubt that person actually is saying that simply to make other people suffer.

Dude, shut the gently caress up about Bernie. He's a tired, cold, useless old man forced to watch a rapist who voted against desegregation and a cop who got power by literally enslaving innocent people of color take hold of the presidency and knowing he helped them to do it because he believed the alternative was worse.

Don't try to pretend he's oppressing women or whatever lib nonsense you're stuck on.

Oh if that's how you're going to play it, I'm happy to continue posting here.(yes I'm aware that was the intent of your bait)

Do you want to engage with it, or did you just show up to defend the honor of Bernie?

I'm not sure how "women frequently have to pretend to be feeling one way instead of another, due to patriarchy, and that is emotional labor" is at all controversial but if Bernie's involved there's really no stance that's too defensive, huh?

Did you miss the part where that tweet was scolding him for not faking excitement? It wasn't just pointing out that men can get away with being grumpy more, it was calling on him to do some "emotional labor" because first black/asian female VP blah blah blah

Yeah it's using a very popular meme to mention the fact that women have to do that.

Do you think she specifically thought Bernie was going to listen to her and do that?

I also like how you threw in the black/asian female VP part even though that's not in the tweet.

Again, she wasn't saying how bad it is that women have to do it, she was scolding Bernie for not doing it. She specifically wanted him to dance like a monkey and be happy, because she wants to be happy about this, and by this she definitely means first female VP.

this is not about Feminist Critique Of Emotional Labor. this is lashing out at Bernie Sanders using Feminist Critique as a cover to do so. this has happened before and it will happen again, and it's incredibly telling that you don't see it for the transparently disingenuous justification that it is - especially when every single defense of these actions has been torn apart with ease because they all suck. the only good faith interpretations of your take are that you're incredibly gullible or you've completely memory-holed every democratic primary that Bernie has participated in and are unwilling to do any kind of research in response to the pushback you have recived from multiple posters saying that you have a poo poo take

LOL at all of this. Because somebody critiqued Bernie in the most minor way numerous posters, like you, came out of the woodwork to explain how terrible this was and how terrible it is that I think she has a point.

I think there's a good conversation to be had there about how Bernie gets away with a general grumpy demeanor in ways that many women can't. Of course she's directing at him, because she's using him as an example. And it's entirely possible to have a feminist critique of Bernie's behavior, out of a general frustration with having to do emotional labor. Without being part of a conspiracy from Big Lib.

But go on with your sentence deconstruction, if you get into enough semantics nobody at all will notice your dismissal of a feminist critique
