Have you ever explored the roots of your misogyny?


What exactly makes you assume that I'm misogynic? The fact that I hate Harris and the squad? Did you miss how I explicitly stated that I dont have any personal qualms against Susan Rice, who presumably was the runner-up in the veepstakes and happens to trigger a lot of others on the right?

There's something sexist about the constant droning on about women who aren't likable enough. Is Trump likable? He's the most abrasive personality in the culture. Is Pence likable? He's a nice boring contrast to Trump's insanity, but not exactly Mr. Charisma.

Anyway... Biden made the smart and safe choice, as he has done most of his campaign. I'm feeling good about the pick.


Trump's appeal has never been his likability (which is non-existent), it was his outsider status, his promise to bring the fight to liberals and the paradigm shift on trade, economic, foreign and immigration policies that he embodied.
I didnt say that Harris is unelectable because she is unlikable. I simply stated that she IS unlikable.



Additionally, I also gave more substantial reasons for my dislike of Harris across this thread. I'll repeat them: in my opinion, she embodies the hypocrisy of the current left, she embodies everything that is wrong with the Democratic party. She locked up loads of minority men over minor drug offenses (and then went out of her way to prevent them from being released early), but laughs about the her own cannabis use. She has lived a life of privilege, yet sometimes pretends like she's straight outta Compton. She likes to employ phony, heartstrings-pulling attacks on her political opponents. In terms of policy, she is both progressive and moderate in exactly the wrong fields.

First, many voters who went with Trump did think he was likable, or at least enjoyable. They liked his personality.

The fact that so many focus on whether the woman candidate is likable shows us how it's a sexist take. There's infinitely more focus on likability if the candidate is a woman... to me it doesn't even seem like a debatable issue. Let's face it, many of us men are much more willing to embrace a man with an abrasive personality over a woman.

Fine. I apologize for the outburst of my subconscious sexism.
The plenty of other points I made against her still stand though.

I assume that's sarcastic.

I feel weird calling out racism or sexism, given my long history of racist/sexist posts and opposition to the overreaching SJWs, but PaRD doesn't seem to have anyone else who does it, so I figured I'd point out the obvious.

To me Kamala seems to be a generic left-leaning Democrat who's willing to bend her positions based on the political situation, but there's no realistic choice by Biden that would've changed my vote.

not liking someone for abusing political power to lock up minorities for their job, and then going home in partaking in the exact same action (smoking pot) is somehow misogyny :rofl:

There's nothing sexist about acknowledging that Harris is despised in leftist circles for her history in locking up black men.

those minorities dont matter, according to the pale pasty privileged lefties/DNC/media

I mean, yea? Isn't voter consistency among Republicans one of the good things about them? They will vote Republican, no matter what, because it's their fucking duty.

What other word comes to mind when men call women bitches and express feelings of wanting to punch them in the face?

Okay I used to stan liberal IceMage, but now we're entering self-aggrandizing levels.

This forum lacks a sufficient voice defending certain things... we have centrists and liberals but they fall short in many areas. I try to cover when I can.
