I seriously thought this was going to be some satire, maybe one of those excellent "If It Happened There" pieces in Slate.

I mean, really. Of course she does. This should not be a surprise to anyone.

It certainly is a surprise to the white male pundits, white male columnists, white male news anchors, white male talk show hosts, and white male internet commentators that assume everyone hates Hillary because they do.

But are white males the only group of people who feel this way about Hillary?

No, of course not. Plenty of women and minorities dislike Hillary too. But the vast majority of them like her. The fact that said groups of white men continue to talk about Hillary as if she's super unpopular and Democrats are desperate for an alternative seems to be harkening back to the days when only white men could vote. Let's just ignore the fact that women and minorities like Hillary and pretend they don't exist! Roll Eyes

Let me put this a different way: women will make up 55-60% of the Democratic primary electorate. Do the white male pundits seriously think, after all the enthusiasm about the first female president, that female Dems are going to run into the arms of dull as dishwater Martin O'Malley or Ronald Reagan's cabinet member Jim "Women Can't Fight" Webb? Particularly after the near miss in 2008, screwing over the women in the party who are enthusiastic for Hillary yet again would be equivalent to the party signing its own death warrant in 2016. There's a reason that Warren is the only person who could've possibly defeated Hillary, and it's not just because of her following or ability to raise money. It's also because she was the only one who could neutralize the gender factor.

Possibly your most deranged post yet.
