It's 2019, a woman of color can exploit the worst of humanity to win the presidency just as well as any man, thank you.

Lip service at best. It will just be a segue into how economic instability affects us all.
Well part of the problem was Hillary's comment was insulting to, well, women who stayed home and baked cookies. There's nothing wrong or inferior about being a homemaker if that's what you choose to do. Hell the days I stay home with the kids, I wish I was working instead, it's not like it's an easy thing to do. Hillary could have made her point in a way that didn't disparage stay at home moms. Hopefully AOC doesn't make a similar mistake
Yeah, it was a different topic that got scrunched into that one, but then I didn't have anything to add or really any point to make with it, so there was no sense leaving it up. Sorry you caught it before I could actually fit in the right response for what I quoted.
Reminds me of the kids in Ender's Game
Some people have built up a caricature of Bernie in their heads that is just completely disconnected from reality
Nadler too:

Read my statement following reporting in @NYTimes that the FBI opened an inquiry for national security concerns into whether President Trump may have been working on behalf of Russia against American interests. As Chair of @HouseJudiciary, we will take action on this matter.

She was not disparaging stay at home moms. She was breaking the gender roles: women were expected to stay home and bake cookies and leave the oh-so-important part of having a career and working to the man of the house. I don't see what she said as wrong. America and the media did not know what to make of this sharp lawyer from Little Rock who broke every stereotype. So they cast her as a demon and unamerican.
Mini-docs I'll give you, but I don't count call in shows as news.
So I had this exact debate with my wife, who was explaining to me part of the reason why a lot of women didn't like Hillary (besides defending Bill's cheating). I mostly made the same argument you just did. Then I went back and actually watched video of the quote in question, and yeah, I kinda got what she was saying. A stay at home mom could definitely take offense to the tone and tenor of her comments, and many apparently did. She could have made the same point in a different way.
I understood this reference.
Hillary still hasn't released her emails sooooo
Yeah, compare the answer Bernie gave in 2015 to the answer Pelosi gave in 2018 three years later.
I really need Tammie Brown worked into this somehow because of her Tootsie-Loo catchphrase.
It's one of those things where it's easy to be misinterpreted badly. Like last year, when Stacey Abrams said we needed jobs in Georgia besides farming and hospitality, it was easily twisted into a disparagement of those jobs. She didn't mean that we didn't need farming, but people who wanted to twist it into that, did so.
I think the issue of raising kids is one where people are particularly sensitive, because people want to do best by their kids and feel attacked when they feel like they aren't. If I had kids I'm sure I'd be guilty of that, too. Even though I know there's no one right answer.
President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, current and former U.S. officials said.
Trump did so after a meeting with Putin in 2017 in Hamburg that was also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. U.S. officials learned of Trump's actions when a White House adviser and a senior State Department official sought information from the interpreter beyond a readout shared by Tillerson.
The constraints that Trump imposed are part of a broader pattern by the president of shielding his communications with Putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States' main adversaries.
As a result, U.S. officials said there is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump's face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years. Such a gap would be unusual in any presidency, let alone one that Russia sought to install through what U.S. intelligence agencies have described as an unprecedented campaign of election interference.
This is insane.
Russian assets. What do they know?. Do they know things?. Let's find out!.
Yeah wtf. Time to get the interpreter and Tillerson in front of a committee talking about this.

Van Jones likes Tusli Gabbard? Bruh, you were supposed to not suck.
This is true. Forgive me, it's been a long 20 years.
People who choose to believe that Trump is not playing puppet to Putin at this point are willfully ignorant and will never believe it.
Trump IS a national security risk, but tell me more about the dirty illegals spilling across the border World War Z style.
