It's a shame that this needs to be said, but I understand it and support it completely.

(16,616 posts)The blather about Elizabeth Warren's electability elicited pushback to the point that the pushback itself began to be discussed in the MSM, prompting self-examination, and then the talking point faded away.
Dodd didn't get far with accusing Harris of "ambition"; it was being laughed about almost as soon as it was in the news.
I commit to calling it out when I see it.
There's twitter, but more importantly there are contact forms and email addresses. CNN is easy to contact via web form.
Let's shoot it down when we see it!

(12,265 posts)Our city is experiencing a recall petition all of those public officials except one are female. In the group going after them there are a large number of women haters. They say this is about "taking back their town and backing the blue" in fact, this is being done to remove women and people who serve who are left of center and don't agree with their view of our city.
It is ugly, it is always going to be out there. They are teaching their sons to hate women too. It will never end.
