I’m just saying I would like to see a man beat a woman in a cage. Just to be sure.
all through the election I saw the same poo poo from people who kept saying how incredibly bad she was as a candidate and that's just not realistic, it's that people don't want to admit to internalized rhetoric any more than they admit to subconcious racism

if you say she's just incredibly bad lol you must have started paying attention to dem candidates in 2015

if she had a dick and ran the exact same campaign she almost certainly would have won

Probably, and if Americans were less racist, she also probably would have run. But if she had had a competently-run campaign, the race wouldn't have been so close that either of these would have mattered decisively, particularly against a joke candidate like Trump.

Going back to that video about the town hall meeting, this just makes me furious about our system

The GOP and Trump are dividing the country further and further, and they give no fucks. It's all about the money

None of them will admit that this division is wrong, because they're in their safe spaces. And people like Hannity only add fuel to this poo poo fest

loving assholes, the lot of them

They want to completely shut down any and all debate over the issues. It's despicable.

And? Not a lot you can do about sexism other than not be a woman.
Sexism has nothing to do with why that slogan is awful. It manages to avoid healthcare, taxes, climate change, infrastructure investment, non-bigotry, every single solid reason to vote Democrat in favour of Hillary herself. Who had nearly two-thirds unfavorability ratings at the time.

quote:

She didn't run an incompetent campaign. She got more votes even and survived a strong primary challenge.
She survived a primary challenge from a seventy-year-old race-blind self-described socialist who was an independent before seeking the nomination, and she needed the DNC's help to do it. The fact that she got more votes is irrelevant when her goal was to win.

No, no, don't you see, guys. This is exactly like the time that mentally unstable right-wing girl carved a backwards B into her cheek. A lightning rod for racism in this country being targeted by racists who, ironically, are paying to get into the drat place, thereby supporting its continued existence? Seems FAR-FETCHED to me!

I'm not entirely sure I see the difference between leaving nooses at civil rights museums as a sincere expression or a "hoax." Kind of like I don't understand the difference between the guy posting racist stuff online sincerely and the one posting it "ironically".

Unless you meant that it isn't like an actual movement to lynch black people. But I think we all know that most of these people are cowards and if they were unstable enough to do real violence they'd do it without stunts like this. But that doesn't make it any less disgusting, or dangerous as it only takes one lunatic for it to take that step.

Social security is literally our money. It's run by the government and used for more things than retirement, but it is disingenuous as gently caress to tell someone in their 70's on SS, that they are receiving a hand-out.

That part right there makes it a hand out of sorts. At the very, very least it's a free retirement account all Americans qualify for regardless of where they work. That's a handout.

I love when they advocate for violence against their detractors but then get all up in arms when their supporters are attacked. I know it's an easy setup to use out of the GOP playbook but it's starting to get pretty transparent. Or the whole "TRUMP NEVER ADVOCATED VIOLENCE" when he implies a "second amendment solution" to Hillary.

All it took for a white-supremacist in Portland to kill a few people was to be told not to yell at Muslim women on a bus.

We can only hope it was something like Jeff Sessions feeling homesick, but at times like this it should be considered a threat that someone would go through with that outside an African American History Museum.
