More copy and paste in lieu of actually answering... ehrnst Dec 2019 #154

Yes, it is dangerous, and sounds far more RW than Democratic. (nt) ehrnst Dec 2019 #142

Actually suggesting that racist-sexism is pervasive in the Democratic party The Valley Below Dec 2019 #144

As a woman of color, Harris was held to a much higher standard mcar Dec 2019 #113

It's bothersome, but it's also illustrative StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #122

"Liberal Democrats are more than ready to support a woman of color for president" StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #30

No man. Harris started with tremendous support and lost that support. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #58

Disagree. She made some mistakes, but she did far better than Hortensis Dec 2019 #106

I didn't know the term misogynoir. Thanks for posting! betsuni Dec 2019 #16

Learn a word a day and use it where needed. sheshe2 Dec 2019 #19

Misogynoir is a neologism. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #22

I'm sure there are also many oldlogisms I am unfamiliar with. betsuni Dec 2019 #63

Strange premise. Maxine Waters is the only one on that list with legitimate grievance. tritsofme Dec 2019 #17

Who claimed she was "somehow entitled to the nomination"? I haven't seen anyone here do that StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #48

Who said this? sheshe2 Dec 2019 #56

That seems to be the clear implication to me. tritsofme Dec 2019 #121

No one said she was entitled to the nomination or anything close StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #129

You may not realize it from your bubble, but that is how the argument sounds to many of us. tritsofme Dec 2019 #132

If that's how it sounds to you, you need to expand your horizons StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #136

Not going to respond to this nonsense. Have a nice day. tritsofme Dec 2019 #139
