Wow... "that loopy upper-middle-class Texan"... This is a personal attack on seabeyond. If you think it is ok, then maybe someday it will be ok to post personal insults about you, including personal information and implications about your mental health. This is OTT in a political discussion, hurtful, rude, insensitive.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 16, 2015, 04:23 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Horseshit is right. Way more than two women here point out gender-based biases (not a victim card, BTW) but only a few including seabeyond are routinely called out for it. This poster is way out of line.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Post was fine except for the condescending remark about the "loopy upper-middle class Texan." That's a personal attack.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: yeah, personal attack, HIDE, stop making DU suck.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alas, I agree with the sentiment.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: zzzzzzz
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Loopy is a personal attack? Thin-skinned alerter.

It's sensible and reasonable. But yes, sell-out corporate frauds mean it's got no real chance.

She is so opposed to it that she's using TWO Super PACs to become elected so that she can fight it.

It's called posturing. Getting out ahead of the opponent trying to win hearts and minds of voters.
