CNN:
Just how badly is the Democratic Party divided? Only 48% of of Clinton supporters in Indiana today would vote for Obama against McCain. Only 45% of her supporters in North Carolina would vote for Obama. 59% of Obama supporters in Indiana today would vote for Clinton against McCain. 70% of his supporters in NC would vote for Clinton.
It’s the misogyny, then class then race but the MSM and Obama blogs think everything is race including the blog I got this information from. Race trumps everything in the MSM and Obama blogs. The problem with not talking about sexism is we can’t solve this problem and get people to vote until bloggers and MSM face up to the sexism. You can see why my discussions about intersectionality are important. Everyone’s obsessed with race but Democrats would have to face up to their sexism to win if Obama were the nominee. Wolcott failed to say in his Jets and Sharks article it’s misogyny that split the netroots and Party:
He dismisses the role sexism is playing in the current divide between Democrats. He says the whole contretemps sounds rather silly and what people are really upset about is Bush-Cheney. No. Wrong. What people are really upset about is exactly what Alegre said: the relentless misogynistic denigration of Hillary and her supporters.
Sexism is the story of this election year. The fact that so many otherwise intelligent people are utterly insensible to the problem is an indicator of how deeply rooted it still is.
