He should have never said those things to begin with, but at least some liberals can see when they have done something wrong- which we will never have to accuse conservatives of doing.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-62030246515839125072018-02-06T10:22:29.192-08:002018-02-06T10:22:29.192-08:00as a man it always amazes me when another man auto...as a man it always amazes me when another man automatically assumes women as whores especially when they don't like them<br />they proclaim this as if they actually witnessed them do whorish stuff when all it really is is to insult them and their worth to try to make you feel some kind of way<br />these people aren't progressives...if I didn't know any better I would think that these types are repubs pretending<br /><br />and its always the ones who won't be hurt by republican policiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-55389317793578515132018-02-05T07:01:58.268-08:002018-02-05T07:01:58.268-08:00My main criticism of the left is the purity test.

I assume he's well off and as insulated as you can get from the degradation your great country is going through. <br />I would also infer he is one of these garden-variety narcissists who think their attitude equals fact. He's decided he doesn't like Mrs Clinton and therefore reality will conform to that decision.<br />But what really makes him a non-progressive... really... is this use of the word 'whore'. It's not even the same as 'prostitute'. Putting aside the ludicrousness of the allegation for a second... 'whore' is one of the worst words in the English language because it makes a woman's sex life a question of public approval. It demeans every woman in the world to call any woman a whore. If I ever used it, and I don't recall ever doing so, then I am profoundly contrite.<br />Nowhere near that degree of presumption would befall those of us who are male no matter what we do. And it sounds like he used that word to injure you, so screw him.<br />No GENUINE liberal or progressive thinks that way with no regrets.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423673258718941141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-91191617868819429492018-02-04T21:40:42.151-08:002018-02-04T21:40:42.151-08:00I agree with both of you, please keep writingI agree with both of you, please keep writingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-43352726102200952462018-02-04T16:18:53.280-08:002018-02-04T16:18:53.280-08:00God, Infidel, you are so right about the picture. ...God, Infidel, you are so right about the picture. I was so upset about this incident that I forgot to attach it. All fixed now.<br /><br />Anyway, of course, I agree with you in every thing you said. It's just that the prominence of this person, and the degraded way he spoke about Hillary, really shook me and made me wonder just how many of the people we count on to act responsibly have fallen prey to this mental disease. I've seen people like this since the Vietnam era. I guess I was foolish to think that the disastrous results of their behavior, particularly with the precipitation of two Republican Presidential wins, would have affected them, but I guess not.

If the Bush II and Trump administrations haven't shown them how dangerous it is to let Republicans get into power, and haven't convinced them that third candidates are a luxury we can't afford (however ideologically "impure" the Democratic nominee may be on one or another issue), then they're unreachable by any kind of argument. Better to just write them off and focus our efforts where we can actually accomplish something.<br /><br />I think of those people as simply another obstacle, like vote-suppression laws or gerrymandering, which we have to overcome by increasing turnout. Alabama showed the way. Getting an extra 100 black voters to the polls is a better use of Democrats' energy than arguing with 100 (or 10) bloggers or activists who will always find some fault with the party's candidate no matter what anyone does. Especially if they use epithets like that.<br /><br />(By the way, the Jill Stein photo is not in the post -- at least it doesn't show up for me.)Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
