An unironic pro-Stalinist.

Also, what the hell is Molly Klein cosplaying as in that video?

Episode 36 was real bad. The crew just can't understand why Clinton would highlight anti-racist statements from previous republican presidents-- either it's a secret plan to water down progressives in the democratic party or she's just a terrible politician trying to play 12th dimensional chess. Here's a hint guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_issue. And then a purported feminist claims that misogyny made Hillary Clinton's career, and those berniebros were just make believe. Jesus Christ, wipe off some of that salt before the next one.

hey chapo CRAP house, try reading a broken wikipedia link before podcasting next time

It's a dumb as gently caress thing for a feminist to say. How lucky it was for Hillary that there was all this misogyny in the world!

You're not engaging with her actual point, though, beyond that stripped of all context it sort of looks bad. It's simplified for rhetorical effect, sure, but Featherstone's argument was that the paranoid lunatics and cartoonish misogyny that Hillary faced made it very easy for her to look like a feminist paragon by comparison, and served as a smokescreen for her support of distinctly unfeminist ideas like welfare reform. It's why Clinton surrogates seem so baffled by actual leftist criticism now, and have to resort to nonsense like "Berniebros"--the vast majority of previous criticism of her has boiled down to right-wingers screaming about the fact that she's a woman and/or making the accusation that she personally murdered people.

The Democratic party has relied too heavily on pointing at the looniest Republicans available and saying "hey, at least we're not THOSE guys", and Hillary is a very good example of that.

wet food is commonly found glistening uncomfortably or surrounded by liquid that shouldn't be there in photographs captioned "cheffin' it up!" on facebook

He’s not a fake MGS fan, he just needs there to be a super easy baby mode in games. That might be worse than a fake MGS fan, actually.
