Re: The Future of the Democratic Party
That is beyond repulsive. Disgusting Orwellian rewriting of events and their consequences. Choosing Clinton out of fear is the only moral justification for giving her your vote.

It's crazy. I don't get it.

Re: The Future of the Democratic Party
If you're going to vote enthusiastically for Clinton, there's probably very little that Bush did which you disappove of. It's only the sports rival approach to the two party system that meant a lot of Dems hated him. They've shown with their Obama adulation how accepting they are of ongoing war.
Likewise, the UK soft left are happier to vote Theresa May than Corbyn. Ideas and principles don't seem to matter to them, any more than wanting Arsenal to beat Chelsea comes down to a philosophical difference.

It's a bygones be bygones sort of thing I think. I don't like W. but seeing his mug just doesn't elicit the contempt it did eight years ago. Compared to Trump and his chomo* sidekick GW seems awfully palatable.

Re: The Future of the Democratic Party
The woke liberal refusal to self-evaluate is coming along quite nicely: http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/09/opinions/ ... index.html

Re: The Future of the Democratic Party
That makes me think of something I related earlier this summer: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3762&p=440665#p440665Flex wrote:The woke liberal refusal to self-evaluate is coming along quite nicely: http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/09/opinions/ ... index.html
I've read so many angry pieces by women the last couple days blaming female Trump voters for selling themselves out. What isn't appreciated is that we can be divided and grouped in so many ways—sex/gender, race, nationality/region, class, generation, etc—and circumstances often dictate how we rank these things. Feminism may be strongest amongst middle-class white women because race and class aren't a great concern for them—that is, those categories are already advantages—whereas gender discrimination is a constant problem. So, of course, feminism is high in their self-perception and demands. For economically marginalized women, class may matter more. We can't say for certain that the women who voted for Trump don't care about his misogyny and that they knowingly sold out other women. It might just be that paying the bills mattered more and they took a chance with the guy who said the economy stinks and he'd turn it around. Shitting on those women for being stupid may feel satisfying, but it doesn't get you any closer to understanding the rationale of female Trump voters.

No. Her conclusion is that too many poor, uneducated women have chosen the safety and security of patriarchy over real freedom. No mention of declining voter rates.eumaas wrote:Not sure I want to hate-read this morning. Does she acknowledge abstention and disenfranchisement at any point?
