with the press that Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Connie Schultz defended Warren by saying, something to the effect: Elizabeth Warren is running for President, not homecoming Queen!

We must all be ready to call the media out on their petty, women-hating crap whenever it is displayed!

like Politico or The Hill, even if it's just to illustrate how in the tank the media has become. It just amounts to repetition of RWTPs.

But it's important to point it out and call it out. I know I went after Chuck Todd for his attacks on HRC. It's not just coming from one side. And as a woman, I am not going to sit back and remain silent.

I absolutely love and appreciate respectful communication. It's amazing how we can calmly disagree. 😀

I just wanted to make the point that we unintentionally carry water for them here every day.

I just choose to call it out wherever I see it left or right. I absolutely love Soledad O'Brien's response.

as misogyny-perhps bigger.

The biggest problem in 2118 was information about Russian interference being withheld from voters and not being reported on.

Elections in democracies depend upon voters being informed-otherwise elections are sham events.


The Brexit vote wa a similar sham event.

Russia is winning a new Cold War because Putin wa able to exploit ignorance and prejudice of individual voters, the self-interest of candidate like Jill Stein, and turn the 1st amendment of the Constitution against us.
