In reply to the discussion: Why aren't the "progressives" who are going after Harris, Booker, Patrick, and Pelosi [View all]GaryCnf
(1,399 posts)37. No it's exactly right
And here's why
There is no doubt that Senator Harris, like Secretary Clinton and every other woman in a position of political prominence - and to be honest even not in such a position - is the victim of misogyny and that it is more pronounced the more prominent they become. Likewise, there is no doubt that every person of color in the same situations is the victim of racism. To deny either is to deny the reality of the American experience.
But that's not what you suggest. You suggest that the left is exhibiting a particular form of both when they criticized Senator Harris, that the left is somehow especially misogynistic and racist. That is bull.

I know why. Only, it's probably best if I don't say... for obvious reasons.
