OK, last Bern related comment for today:

My ex-husband supported Bernie in the 2016 election. Leaving aside all other bullshit, he believed he was generally woke and conscious, but could never explain the masculine vitriol that Bernie drew to his campaign.

It also didn't dissuade him, despite the *awful* sexist chanting at Bern events then, eclipsed only by the sexist attacks online right now from his supporters.

If you are a white guy who gets that Warren and Bern are generally on the same page politically--

--near to identical policies, similar moves toward healthcare and corporate accountability and anti-corruption-- and yet find yourself unable to explain the vitriol with which you are drawn to Bern over Warren, and excusing his supporters, I have an answer.

It's internalized patriarchy.

And the way you truly create revolution is by backing a woman who will create wild, revolutionary change, AND LETTING HER LEAD IT.

It's ok to not know why you feel the way you do. It's not ok, however, to not examine its origins.

Reflecting on the origins of what feels like intuitive belief is ALSO a part of revolutionary change.

Have a look inside.

And then hold the door for a progressive woman to have real power for the first time in this nation, and just watch what she will do for all of us in return

(You all show yourselves for the block button so easily LOL.)
