In reply to the discussion: Vanity Fair joins in the effort to silence the Democratic base [View all]BainsBane
(57,821 posts)63. She has given one media interview
in seven months. One. She has spoken at a tech conference and two graduation commencements. How on earth does that suck air out of the room? Frank may have a Trump-level attention span, but few of the rest of us do.
Why would anyone who claims to be a Democrat want to ensure that Onward Together not fund Democratic candidates? Who benefits from that, other than Trump and the GOP?
His article is the written version of McConnell telling Warren to be silent and Burr telling Harris to be silent. It's the same damn thing. Warren persisted. Harris persisted. Hillary Clinton persists, and I and millions of other women plan to persist. If that makes men like Frank uncomfortable, all the better.

Your 3rd full paragraph says it all, for me. For some, maleness supersedes all else.
