And here Mao raises a sound point about the hard-to-convincingly-deny corruption of the DNC, at least where the 2016 Democratic Primary is concerned. <br /><br />Surely it's high time someone calls him a troll for the upteenth time, and maybe an ass, too, as Somerby is thoughtfully called above (most memorably here, "Somerby is an ass and I hate his ass face"), without ever directly addressing any of the points he makes? I mean, why should today be any different?

They low-keyed his involvement so that people would not consider her a puppet, just as they low-keyed her involvement in his campaign so that he would not appear pussy-whipped (a sin for alpha males with political genes). <br /><br />That's what makes comparisons between the two ridiculous. They are and always have been a team, in ways the someone like Somerby perhaps cannot imagine.<br /><br />Note the use of the word "upbeat," as if Hillary were not herself upbeat in this last campaign.

And all that means Hillary is a crappy politician. Uh huh.<br /><br />Why does Somerby buy this meme whole hog the way he does? If someone is predisposed to oppose a female politician, but can't find anything really wrong with her, why not point to an occasional remark and pretend it is a gaffe and then call her something bad, such as "her own worst enemy"? Male politicans are given far more latitude. For example, no one pretends Biden lacks any political gene despite being an acknowledged gaffe machine and too handsy for comfort to boot. But he has a penis, so all is forgiven with him.<br /><br />I am sick of Somerby's insistence that Hillary must be perfect or she is too imperfect to be counted as a real politician along the the guys, because she lacks that crucial gene (in this case a Y chromosome). This is an absurd post today.<br /><br />Somerby dislikes her Sisterhood chapter. Despite the release this past week of a study showing that straight white women who are married vote along with their husbands, even when it goes against their own interests on women's issues, such as equal pay. Does that sound like a study that support Hillary's observations, or is she making shit up to justify her loss? Only Somerby would react in his bigoted way to claim she is wrong when she says America wasn't ready for a female president. We all know it is true -- even the reactionary conservatives know this. It is why Trump was able to run as a blatant misogynist (pussygrabber) and win. But Somerby thinks her analysis is self-serving.<br /><br />Somerby is an ass and I hate his ass face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-68981589755879193842017-09-28T12:38:59.030-04:002017-09-28T12:38:59.030-04:00Yes, liberals should really set up a committee to ...Yes, liberals should really set up a committee to vet all comments made by purportedly "liberal" athletes, movie stars, professors, etc, so that they a) conform to the proper liberal messaging and b) don't in any way upset conservatives.
