In reply to the discussion: Refusal to accept Clinton as the Nominee is Rooted in Misogyny and Racism [View all]ciaobaby
(1,000 posts)Can a person believe the win was not legitimate for reasons other than sexism and misogyny?
Can a person, lets go there, a white male, think there was enough troubling issues at polling places and registration, that we should at least discuss other possibilities?
Why do we go immediately to racism and sexism?
It is demeaning, it is not valid, its hurtful and honestly makes me crazy.
Even if someone thinks the process is rigged, that in itself, does not mean that person formed this opinion out of sexism. Right or wrong, they should not be labeled without out even a conversation with that person.
It has become way to easy to label people we don't agree with. An easy and intellectually weak offering.
I am a life long democrat who voted twice for Obama, and have always voted the entire Democratic ticket, for my entire life. I am a white women. That said I have never liked the Clintons for many reasons. Does my opinions of the Clinton's make me racist or sexist? Does it mean I do not belong in the democratic party ? You tell me.
