'Here we have two candidates with a lot to bring to the table, much more than the pile of indistinguishable moderate white men who are also in this race, and we’re fighting over the semantics of a conversation we’ll never have access to.' –lkherman
And all I can say is that I’m annoyed, because here we have two candidates with a lot to bring to the table, much more than the pile of indistinguishable moderate white men who are also in this race, and we’re fighting over the semantics of a conversation we’ll never have access to.
That doesn’t mean, however, that we should stop talking about the rampant sexism that many Americans don’t seem to want to acknowledge this election cycle. While the who, what, when, where, and why of the Sanders/Warren conversation isn’t necessarily important, the questions about identity, marginalization, and power are — as in, who actually has access to the White House.
At this point, Americans have gone blue in the face asking the question of whether a woman can win this presidential election; but the underlying question that seems to be on everyone’s lips is whether a woman can winInstead, we have to get at something much more open-ended and a lot harder to answer: How can wea woman win the presidency — especially knowing what we know about misogyny in the country we live in? America isn’t going to magically change overnight regardless of what happens in...
Asking how to actually get a woman elected in this political climate is a difficult question, one that isn’t as cut and dry as pretending that the he-said-she-said of this situation is the real problem. The clickbait fodder isn’t nearly as good. It’s also scarier, because it forces us to admit that the onus is onand not just some abstract electorate, a group of anonymous misogynistic jerks waiting in the wings, to vote a woman into the highest office.
The Democratic primary is a race where there can only be one winner. Knowing that, the notion that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will always remain pals throughout the campaign is ridiculous. But right now they can use each other to propel both campaigns forward if they want to. And they can help us all answer that pesky question of how we actually catapult a woman into the highest office in this nation — whether that happens in 2020 or in the years to come.
