That "Excuse Me"= Bernie is Sexist gets any play...is the reason why "loony left" also gets play...

I've posted before about how we're eating our Party from the inside out with our political correctness obsession (or at least our use of PC as a political tool) and I'll say it again:

WE ARE DESTROYING OUR OWN PARTY WITH THIS SHIT.

Can we PLEASE, for the love of God, agree as a Party to go back 50-60 years and start using accusations of discrimination for their intended purpose: to call out and influence the demise of actual discrimination?

The longer and more we use them as political silencing tools, the less meaningful they become (and the less aware future generations will be of what sexism and racism actually are).

I believe in my heart that the vast majority (not all, mind you) of the individuals accusing THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR and his supporters of racism and sexism know in their hearts that what they're saying is untrue, but they can't resist the political points these accusations score. There is nothing democratic or progressive about those kinds of political games.

1. What is sexist

about not letting a person interrupt? Is she a fragile little flower or a presidential candidate? She can just interrupt and speak of of turn because she is female?

3. There's no point in asking, because even accusers don't really believe it was sexist...

What they believe is that accusations of discrimination, especially in today's 24-hours news and social media environment, are incredibly effective political tools.

It's less important whether something is actually sexist, racist, etc., than what political impact (and potential advantage to the accusers) results from making such accusations.

The latter, not the former, is the barometer by which many choose to make such accusations.

5. good point

So we need to ask is Hillary a delicate fragile flower or a presidential candidate? We need a leader not someone hiding behind these baseless claims.

6. It makes them look ridiculous

especially when they completely ignore all of her corrupt and inhumane actions.

2. I'm particularly annoyed with the Clinton campaign on this one

It's just wrong to trivialize sexism for the sake of grubbing up a few votes.

4. I've been saying this for a while but I am a racist misogynist berniebro

And obama boy... so what do I know?

8. i hate women and minorities

[redruddyred]

7. this shit makes me ashamed to be a feminist

i'd call out ppl on twitter if i think it helped

10. They do it for RHETORICAL reasons, to keep women and PoC away from Bernie.

They want readers/lurkers on this site to think of Bernie as racist and sexist.

Of course they know he's neither. They know that. But they'll use any falsehood they can find to keep voters from Bernie.

Fortunately, the truth is on our side.
