In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton: You 'cannot be civil' with Republicans, Democrats need to be 'tougher' [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)60. hillary mentioned "vast rw conspiracy" and was right. obama mentioned talk radio
several times but democrats did not pick up the batons. in general they got trolled by the right suggesting hillary was nuts, and obama couldn't get any traction vs limbaugh, considered to be a radio clown -instead of the most effective political voice the last 30 years
the left collectively cannot say it got their backs, nor anita hill's nor blasey ford's
artificial intelligence makes digitizing what the talk radio propaganda operation much easier and cheaper and guarantees its eventual death, but dems could speed that up with sandra fluke x 100

Turning this into an attack on Pelosi? Waters is a Rep in Pelosi's D caucus, Clinton is not. (n/t)

I am solidly behind both women and Pelosi wasn't mentioned, not sure why you invoked her at all. nt

Operative observation: demeaned women for many years leading up to the campaign.
