Discussion»Questions»Politics» Do you agree with Hillary that misogyny played a role in millions of women not voting for her contributing to her election loss?
Possibly. The mysogyny excuse from her and her apologists lovers though is part of why Trumpsters exist. To say that mysogyny is a factor is denying how many mayors, Senators, House Reps, Judges, etc., etc., etc. We have in all levels of government. I'm sorry, but there is just no evidence that the American public wont vote for a candidate because they happen to be a women. Sure there are some but there is always going to be a small marginal fringe in anything. Look how many on the Left think Merkel is a wonderful example of a leader and how many on the right say Thatcher was an enviable leader.
Hillary will deflect, dodge, and make excuses any chance she gets.
The word "misogyny" has lost it's meaning as has "racism". There is no denying it exists, but it's been over used to death.... It's been rendered impotent & It holds little power any more. If it did, how did monkey boy get elected?
Clinton will go down as the biggest failure in history and perhaps the dirtiest politician ever.
Nope. I would be happy to explain to her precisely why I did not vote for her, and it had nothing to do with hating women...I am one myself. If I remember correctly, though, Madeline Albright has reserved for me a special place in hell for my "sin" of not casting my vote based upon the candidate's genitals.
Thank you for saying that. Aren't we all getting a bit sick of the notion that women should have voted for her because he has a vagina? Can't stand that woman!
Same here. I'm sick of people trying to say that ethnicity, gender, and sexuality are virtues worth consideration. It's a ridiculous notion and you know those people know it deep down because they would have voted for Palin and Carson too then.
The Madeline Albright position can be extrapolated into every voter only voting for the one single candidate whose demographic makeup matches exactly. Therefore, I could not have voted for their darling Barack because even though he and I are both black males, my mother is not white and my father is not Kenyan. Crank up the hellfires; Randy D is coming down the chute!
Hey, wait a minute, none of that makes any sense at all. Oh, I guess that's the entire point . . .
Albright, and others, tried to shame women into voting for Clinton, just as was done with blacks who did not support Obama in 2008 (especially) and 2012. It is ridiculous.
Just so you know, tildes aren't allowed in hell.

You wouldn't believe how many of my fellow black people saw me as a traitor (or worse) for not bowing down to King Obama, for not falling for his spiels and and for not voting for him (twice). It's as if they don't understand that freedom of thought is just as important as many other types that had been fought for over the past couple of centuries.
Not at all. Obama even said she lost because she didn't try to sway the swing states, said if she had campaigned harder, she may have won. I doubt that though, I think people are just sick and tired of the Clinton's and their shady business deals, and corrupt politics. For the people who keep crying that she won the popular vote, haven't you been paying attention for the last few centuries.......? The President is elected by the Electoral College. If you want to win, you need to try to win by getting the most states, not the most votes!
She did try to sway my state (Michigan). One of the Democrat's debates was held here in Flint (because of the water issue) just two days before the primary, and she held a town hall in Detroit the next day. Her shameless pandering did win her those two cities...but she lost the primary (which polls gave her by an average of 21.4 points) by 1.4% and the general election by less than 11,000 votes. She, like most candidates, failed to reach out to the rest of the state. Both were pretty yuuuuuuge losses for our state, where most larger cities are comprised of union workers who almost automatically vote for establishment Democrats. Like many other states, though, those outside the cities tend to be more conservative. I guess she didn't bother to listen to Michael Moore, who explained quite well why she would lose blue-collar, manufacturing states, like mine.
