Melissa McEwan speaks brilliantly on the intense shittiness of Sanders’s insistence that Hillary is establishment while he isn’t:
Sanders calls Clinton emblematic of an establishment that has never even allowed a woman to be seated at the head of the table. And the only way that argument works is by saying that Clinton’s gender doesn’t matter. Which is always, always, an inherently misogynist and dehumanizing line of attack.
Absolutely. It’s all right there with the criticisms of Hillary for not acting as an independent agent while she was the First Lady.
I’m not noticing much difference between this approach and that of people who insist they “don’t see race and aren’t the real racists the ones who do?”

“…..Clinton (is) emblematic of an establishment that has never even allowed a woman to be seated at the head of the table……”
Well, the ladies may not have been allowed at the head of the table, but the blue-frocked ones were allowed to kneel near the table to be ‘Clintonized’.
Nyuck!
“Clintonize”!
What a wonderfully descriptive neologism!

McEwan is scared to death of Sanders because she sees him as a serious challenger to Hillary for the Democratic nomination.
And she’s believed that for months, proving that even feminist paranoiacs can occasionally be correct.
