Hillary Clinton explicitly talked about civil rights and featured the mothers of the BLM movement at the DNC. But nope, all the far left brocialists and manarchists and nihilists wanted to go on and on about how she and Trump were both the same, she was a neolib, she was a war criminal, etc., and completely overlook how hardworking and intelligent she was (Joe Biden said in 2008 right after Obama tapped him for VP that Hillary was better qualified than he was). It's Bernie who was talking about needing to get away from identity politics.

I like how any females that may have had issues with Clinton's presidency are summarily erased in each and every criticism I've seen. Because we may as well be guys or something, I guess?

how she and Trump were both the same
They aren't, but they're both various levels of 'bad.'

she was a neolib
She is.

she was a war criminal
I wouldn't go that far but her choices regarding intervention in other countries are pretty well-known and not that inspiring

completely overlook how hardworking and intelligent she was
Don't disagree wrt intelligence. In retrospect I am not so sure on the "hardworking" part considering she took a lot of vacations and breaks on the campaign trail, flew home every night, limited her stumping, and spent more time lobbying for donations than doing cross-country plane trips to speak to working class folks.

Nnnno. What Bernie said is that identity politics are

I didn't get what Sanders meant by that (and I said this in a previous post) because literally NO ONE who voted for HRC made that argument. Otherwise you would have had black people going out in droves to vote for Ben Carson and we didn't, so...? Who exactly was he talking to?

Supporters DID make that argument. Remembee the "special place in hell for women who dont vote Clinton?" or the inherent misogmy of all her critics? Or the general "Berniebros" talking point that erased women entirely?

Like literally that was a tactic used in the election. Vote for Clinton because it was a woman's turn. Except Warren and Stwin dont count, somehow.

I am not saying Sanders is flawless and lord knows the Dems as a whole failded miserably nut I am really tired of things getting glossed over here. The misogmy was real but so was using Clintons sex as a cudgel to quell dissent.
