I know there are probably some other threads in here about this, but I'm not going to try and find them. I did that before and found that most of the threads here are boring as hell. It's like going to a comic book store because you're wondering why Ice Man is never in a movie. Anyway, my question is why do lots of people hate Hillary Clinton so much? I never even considered it before 2008, when this crazy woman in my office went off on me about her when I expressed my dislike of GW Bush. I told her that either of my dogs would be a better president than Bush and all she would say was "BUT YOU WOULD HAVE HILLARY!!!??!!!" (I am not exaggerating the caps or the exclamation points) Do people hate the idea of a woman president so much that they would pick anyone else? Am I missing something?

Mel Mudkiper posted:Finally, she is simply not a very warm or emotive person. She is clearly a bit stand-offish and cold and because she is a woman people find it unbecoming sounds like you're kind of a dick

Mel Mudkiper posted:I am not sure why you say that. Misogynistic stereotypes of femininity require women to be meek and warm and submissive. Clinton is stern and a bit cold. It's not a problem with her character, because that is exactly as a president should be. However, you cannot challenge gender roles like that and not receive push back from traditionalists. Ah, I get it now. Sorry for the dick comment.

Mel Mudkiper posted:I worry about over-generalizing but really I think a vast majority of it comes from gender. I'm sorry to disapoint you but being a GBS mod doesn't make you a political expert. Your statement "Compare the public persona of Hillary Clinton to every other first lady" might as well be "Calculate the number Pi to 50 digits". I don't know, that's why I created the loving thread.

computer parts posted:#4 is the root of the other two. Like there's no serious way you can justify #2 without saying at some point "well sure she says progressive things but I don't believe her". All politics is a huge load of bullshit always has been

I haven't payed attention to this thread in the past couple days but I just tried to register to vote online. They wanted to know my address the last time I voted. That was like 16 years ago, I don't remember that poo poo. What a load of bullshit. The American electoral system is even more broken than I thought.

Regarde Aduck posted:America is the land of plenty. Only they let the rich people put the plenty in big vaults. So now you have the most powerful nation on the planet, containing within it, whole failed cities and people dying of easily treatable diseases. It's amazing how the dream was allowed to slip through the peoples fingers. Yeah because no other nation on earth has whole failed cities and people dying of easily treatable diseases. It's amazing how humans love to blame other humans.

Lightning Knight posted:It's kind of a catch all term for authoritarian leftists We don't have that in the US, that's something you European types have that I wish we had. The closest thing we have here is a bunch of loud youngsters.
