In reply to the discussion: We are the base of the party. The POC, the LGBT, the feminists. [View all]LadyHawkAZ
(6,199 posts)There are self-described feminists making excuses for public smears on rape victims. There are PoC spinning the crime bill. There are dedicated antiwar crusaders excusing the IWR vote and the destabilization of Libya. Poor people excusing welfare reform. Everyone making excuses for pandering to corporate interests and wealth.
If a candidate requires this much excusing for bad decisions then the candidate is a bad candidate for a leader. Even in the Faux News age where the effects of media bias are measurable, it's hard to understand why anyone would support a candidate with that kind of track record when better is available. It's cog dis on a mass scale and it's bewildering in a party that's supposed to be better informed and better educated.
