It wasn't even the spinelessness as much as it was literally slut-shaming lewinsky from noted "feminists" like clinton and the leaders of NOW. Paglia can be an idiot but she points out here how the cosby stuff reminded women of the clinton/lewinsky years and hurt hillary during her latest run.

this is a good piece looking at the lewinsky stuff through today's eyes:

Most of the "Thanks Clinton!" people are getting brutally brigaded on Twitter. The shrinking cadre of desperate hangers-on is getting less relevant by the day, even as they grow increasingly single-minded. PUMA 2.0.

I'll never forget or forgive that.

I'm just more stunned at the fact that literally trying to elevate the Clinton brand in any way contradicts and undermines you so much, its like an actual corrupting source that taints your soul and integrity.

It's like a black hole of compromise over principle, and for what? Where's the ends that justifies the means? It never arrives. There's always more to feed it, and if you lock your gaze into it, its a compulsion to keep feeding that bottomless well thinking that all of the principles, righteousness and justice and truth and love and hope will vomit out and cancel the black hole and we'll live in a whole new world where the blood on the scales tipped so hard that it broke it and shattered the glass ceiling or some stupid justification bullshit for whatever this monster vehicle is, because something's better than nothing at least right? Thoughts and Prayers version of politics right here. It was going to be all absolved once she was president, all of it. Just like that, because what do you have to lose huh?

Like its so normalized weirdly enough, that some people don't see the conditioned thinking to consider that as a faucet of "That's just politics, people are supposed to make compromises, shucks!" that some people don't see fundamentally how glaringly wrong that is, it's like a political capital bubble, and it collapses if you don't own up and pay the compromise debt eventually and nothing meaningful gets done and yer just entrenched in infighting trying to figure out how to compromise again on the same broken system of blowing up another political capital bubble.

This is a really good post.


This was also nice to read

quote:

In response to the question, “Which type of political system do you think is the most compassionate?”, 58 percent said socialism and 9 percent said communism. Just 33 percent chose capitalism. Sixty-six percent of the poll’s respondents said corporate America “embodies everything that is wrong about America.”

Finally, more young Americans declared that the “most pressing issue facing America today” is income inequality than anything else. Income inequality was followed by education — specifically its cost. Respondents said they most respect nurses and doctors, followed by teachers and soldiers. The least-respected professions are bankers (2 percent), real estate agents (2 percent), elected officials (4 percent), and business leaders (6 percent). Wisely, just 7 percent of young Americans respect journalists.

If only we had an extremely popular politician who spoke to the youth and their issues. Maybe we could ask this hypothetical politician about how to attract these young lefty voters.

also of huge note: this is an off-election. not even a national congressional elect, like, the fact that this guy won off those % and turnout #s probably means dems are going to decimate in the future assuming poo poo trends this way.

As much as I dislike Brazile, the alacrity and venom the Clinton camp has demonstrated in turning on her is disturbing. Not shocking, but definitely gross. They're utterly in exile these guys still put political expediency above all else, even when it's nakedly transparent.

I've mentioned this before, but liberals get absolutely vicious towards any minority they view as having "betrayed" them. Their comfort zone is a situation where minorities are friendly and treat them as their valuable benefactors, but the minute a minority acts angry or rude towards them they completely flip their poo poo.

edit: You can see this in the way liberals talk about black Republicans. Like, being a black Republican is definitely pretty dumb, but the rhetoric liberals use towards black Republicans is even more vicious and condescending than the rhetoric they use towards white Republicans.
