People need to stop saying Women canât win when we still have three female candidates running for President. Itâs self defeating.
My twitter feed was literally hundreds of people explaining the nuances of either side to each other all day but really what the argument boils down to one question. Is this honest criticism of the playing field as Bernie saw it or is this a sexist comment said in secret? My guess, itâs a little of both. Discouraging a competitor is not unheard of in politics. Sometimes folks just punch down.

This piece from Rebecca Traister is exactly what I was trying to say about this whole incident. 
My favorite passage,
Engaging in a he-said-she-said back-and-forth doesnât often redound positively to the woman, especially since the defense from Sandersâs team is that she is outright lying. Thatâs a charge thatâs particularly perilous for Warren, for reasons not coincidentally related to some of the particular hurdles faced by female candidates. Charges of dishonesty or inauthenticity can stick effectively to women and have already been made to stick harder to her than to any of the other candidates in the race, even those with spottier track records.
But the charges of lying being thrown around by both sides seem not only potentially self-destructive and counterproductive but well beside the point. Because what Sanders himself said, in his denial, that âwhat I did say that night was that Donald Trump is a sexist, a racist, and a liar who would weaponize whatever he could,â is not at odds with what Elizabeth Warren may well have heard.
Women, especially those running for office, hear predictions about the kinds of bias that could be effectively wielded against them all the time , not just from sexists or blowhards but from friends and allies and progressives and feminists. As a journalist who covers women in politics, I have heard that a woman canât win the presidency from feminists, colleagues, family members, from people who believed with all their hearts, back in 1972 and in 1987 and in 1988 and in 2008 and in 2016, that of course a woman could win the presidency but who, they tell me sadly, no longer believe that that is true. This belief â the lack of belief in the possibility of a woman president â is at the heart of the âelectabilityâ narrative that has been Elizabeth Warrenâs biggest roadblock so far in a primary season during which she is broadly popular and provokes a lot of enthusiasm but in which people are really scared to fully throw themselves behind a female candidate again. Theyâre scared because, as Bernie Sanders himself says he discussed with her, if sheâs the candidate, she will be running in the general against a hateful misogynist and that presents a real-life, genuine set of challenges for a female candidate.
That lots of people feel this way doesnât mean itâs true that a woman canât win; I donât believe for a second that itâs true.

New York Times Editorial Board Endorses Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren

This endorsement has been lambasted by many as the NYT just picking the two female candidates despise them having drastically different political views, though Iâve seen a few noting that if you see it as picking the best candidates from the two streams, moderate and progressive, it makes more sense. I am inclined to agree with those who see the NYT as trying to be inoffensive and thus offending.

::sighs:: Donnie showed once again he doesnât understand elections. He posted this to boast about the far right column, but this is a primary, and the GOP has rigged the GOP primaries for him.
This isnât even a presidential primary. It looks like itâs for Texas-13.
