If you meant to post "corporate whores" as in corrupt politicians that phrase has been used here for years while racist jokes are generally frowned upon.

I'm sure leaving out the entire quote and context was an oversight, right?

You can see the meme evolving since maximum poutrage hasn't been reached.

what are you supposed to call that? Because unlike "whore", "catamite" actually is gendered.

That Hilliary was called a whore?

Saying there are Democratic Corporate whores is true, unless you think there are no Democratic Corporate whores.

I would say the 11 Dems that voted for yea for this are Corporate Whores. It stops the Government from negotiating lower prices on drugs. Now the Government pays full price and all those extra profits fill the pockets of Pharma CEOs

to not be the boorish "Bernie-bros" that they claim don't exist. There's simply no excuse for using that kind of language when running against a female candidate.

Some 'progressives' they are.

"Corporate whore" is a phrase that's been used at DU for years to refer to politicians of both genders. It's not pretty, but neither is selling out the 99% for personal gain.

Although given that most people respect sex workers far more than 'Corporate Whores', I can see why you'd try and soften her image by pretending Hillary is just a sex worker, but that's really an abuse of sex workers.

Speaking of abuse of sex workers: How IS Bill these days?
