In reply to the discussion: Gillibrand says she's worried about top options in Dem 2020 poll being white men [View all]BannonsLiver
(21,195 posts)That was another point you made that didnt make much sense. Women voters and candidates were the story of the night, on both the watchable cable networks and the follow ups online, in the papers and on TV. for DAYS. Theyre still talking about it.
To say its not being talked about is just factually incorrect. It may not be to the level you want, but that is subjective. It is being talked about quite often. Why? Because its the story.
On male white knights: the media didnt make up the polls that show Biden, Sanders and Beto in the top 3. I dont think moveon.org cooked their straw poll to diminish female candidates, either. My guess is there are a fair number of women who will support Biden, Sanders and Beto in the primaries and the current polling, early as it is, reflects that. So in that sense the media is reporting the current realities. Thats what they should be doing.
