2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Dear Hillary [View all]BainsBane
(53,032 posts)has not been about race and gender. Sanders is not a better feminist than Clinton or a better civil rights activist than Obama. He may be better at speaking to the interests of the white middle and upper-middle class. in fact, the entire thrust of the discussion concerning Sanders on this site has been from that perspective. There is some pretty active hostility toward the concerns of feminists and people of color in those discussions and on this site more generally, which is why we have only a very small handful of African Americans left on this site and HOF has been decimated.
In order to see an irony you must have some pretty strange ideas of race and gender, which is why I asked if you were an essentialist. Rather than answer that question you blame me for not getting your little joke directed at the in crowd.
Don't acknowledge that you created a meme in poor taste. Instead, you go right on blaming those of us who found it troubling. It scores points with the in crowd.
