204. Their sexism shines a big spotlight on the hypocrisy of the Democratic party.

Sun Feb 7, 2016, 12:32 AM

Feb 2016

Hillary playing the woman card in the face of the blatant denigration of women who don't happen to support her by her surrogates is one of the most cynical ploys I've ever seen. I can't say I'm surprised by any of it, though. It's been obvious for a long time how the party establishment and their mouthpieces feel about the left. It's almost comical to me how astounded and indignant they are to discover that we have no use for them.
