7. There's plenty of sexism involved.

We don't even need to consider a case of two men. We saw nearly the same scenario play out eight years ago, but with the roles reversed. Back then, Hillary was told to stand down, know her place, and get her voters to back the party. She did so.

Now that she's the winner, the loser is making demands, and the narrative has shifted to her needing to persuade Bernie's supporters over to our side. It's a complete flip from the precedent that was set.

What's the difference? Oh yeah, in both cases the woman is expected to make the men feel better.

Bernie can go suck a lemon if he doesn't want to be a responsible Democrat.

I think making some of your text into links is cutting them off... BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #1
