There's another question related to these gender issues, and the mention of Sanders above: does anybody seriously think that last year's campaigning might have been more civilised if the old fart had got the democrat nomination, rather than the female hate figure, or was this argument just another form of "But Hilary!" ing for certain rightards to fall back on when they had nothing else to say in their and/or their candidate's defence?
A lot of it was ABH, absolute hatred, whether its misogynist, because shes a liar/crooked, or whatever
Bernie would have had my vote from the start.
Id love to have seen him as the nominee for more than a few reasons.
The dems need a new leader thats not hillary
They also need to sort out the clusterfuck that is the DNC and their processes.
But no, the long time extreme right hate of "other" has been justified by Trump. Anyone that isnt a white "powerful" man is inferior and to be spat on.
Hopefully when my generation is gone, there might be a better balance.
If there's an environment left.
No argument with any of that, Lucy, but that wasn't what I meant with the reference to Sanders. What I was getting at is how unconvincing I find the suggestion that last year's campaign was so unpleasant, partisan and vicious purely because of the right's hatred for Clinton. I suspect that this argument is utter nonsense and Sanders would have been treated just as poorly by the tango fuhrer and his apologists as Clinton was, or possibly even worse. The notion that a different democrat nominee might have been treated any better while opposing a campaign that was built from its inception on bigotry, alternative facts and playing to the lowest common denominator it could by talking down to the electorate isn't very plausible, and the whole suggestion that it was purely down to el presidente opposing Clinton rather than somebody else is another manifestation of "...but Hilary!", dig?
