Did any of them hang out with the Russians shirtless and drinking vodka like Bernie? Don't think so
Yeah, the only rough and tumble white male of the bunch is the gay guy who speaks 7-8 languages.
Are you suggesting a person with a phd and a lifetime of political offices is automatically "qualified" or is it possible that a person with phd and a lifetime of political offices be unqualified?
You've long since lost your audience. Hell, even you don't think your argument is worth your efforts and it shows, this is far from your best work.
Presidency?
Automatically qualified? That’s tough. I can imagine a scenario where the offices were all dogcatcher or he/she had been removed from office for malfeasance but in general, yes, I would say someone with a relevant advanced degree who worked in relevant political office would be qualified. Then the question would be whether I think they fit with my political desires. That’s got nothing to do with whether they’re qualified.
I have been dubious that his political experience was sufficient. It’s still the part I like least. But he’s won me over.
Or maybe I should have gone with the Lori Morgan version. I mean a petite spinner with dobro accompanying her in the background, how can you not be all in even if its not your normal predilection?
If we think that sexism is only a them problem then we as progressives are blind. Progressive men have been in the same patriarchy our entire lives that the conservatives have been, and it's just as normalized for us. I've got a few female friends who hold elected office as democrats. We've all got a long way to go.
I see the collective has absorbed you. Was it painful or did it take you gently, like sleep after a large meal at the end of an exhausting day?
More like a lobster in a pot that didn't notice as the temperature got raised one degree at a time
Thought that was frogs in a pan. No matter, now I am in the mode for some seafood. I wonder if the wife want s to go to Pappadeaux tonight.
I’ve taken to picking up 4-5 lbs of shrimp on the way home from work, boiling them, and dipping them in butter to eat as a whole meal.
Nice.
There is very little I like as much as gulf shrimp taken off the boat that morning, boiled, and buttered.
Fresh seafood is awesome. Always one of my favorite parts of getting to the gulf or other places not quite as landlocked as Tennessee
So really? You're going to die on this hill for a woman who said Hitler was ok until he went global? She's dumb as a box of rocks. She makes Sarah look like a Rhodes scholar.
It's ridiculous that a "white male" is considered a bad thing by so many liberals. It's ok to like a minority candidate, but why not just vote for the one who has the best combination of policy, leadership, experience and any other traits that matter?
Yeah...sure...that's exactly what she said...
Yeah as long as he just killed the Jews in his country he was cool. How could I have been so wrong?
You Southern boys know that boiling is just about the worst way to make shrimp and crabs, right? Do you boil steak down there too? No wonder it’s Trump county.
You see...this is why we teach "reading comprehension" beginning in elementary school.
>>if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay fine. The problem is ... he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize.<<
....which gave the word "Nationalism"...the bad connotation that it has with some people.
I’ll give her an out for ignorance but that’s it. It really seems to me she is saying the nationalist component of Hitler was fine.
You somehow see the words "what he did was fine" other that simply "okay" and "fine". Those words are not there.
You should take GhostRider's point that Owens herself corrected her statement. Don't try to rehabilitate what was then and now an absolutely horrible statement.
a "HORRIBLE" statement....or not a great choice of words that could (and was) used to attack her?
Thankfully, anyone who made such a statement would have been drummed out of the Dem Party. That was certainly true of the GOP as well until just a couple years ago. This stuff smacks of Lyndon Larouche and various white nationalist/supremacist revisionists. If you want, like Ghost said, Owens did recant, so you should rely on that.
Useful tools are just that. You're adopting a statement that Owens herself abandoned, to her credit. At least accept that much.
