As we continue to reckon with the misogyny that landed Warren where she is, consider:
If she endorses Biden, she’ll be dismissed by progressives as a fake.
If she endorses Bernie, she’ll be dismissed by moderates as a loony.
If she does nothing, she’ll be dismissed as bitter.
If she endorses Biden, she’ll be dismissed by progressives as a fake.
If she endorses Bernie, she’ll be dismissed by moderates as a loony.
If she does nothing, she’ll be dismissed as bitter.
Now think of it this way:
If she endorses Bernie, she promotes a base that designed and pushed a wildly sexist agenda against her and engaged in constant misogynistic attacks on her team.
If she endorses Biden, she promotes a base that agrees with almost none of her stances.
If she endorses Bernie, she promotes a base that designed and pushed a wildly sexist agenda against her and engaged in constant misogynistic attacks on her team.
If she endorses Biden, she promotes a base that agrees with almost none of her stances.
These are the no-win crossroads we put ambitious women in CONSTANTLY. We throw out their ideas, no matter how well reasoned or valuable, and then ostracize them for aligning with lesser choices in the name of getting at least *some* of their work done.
And as with the Bernie base, getting anything done often comes with swallowing a heaping tablespoon of sexism. Which then lets down the feminist allies who have fought to get her here to begin with.
It is a garbage, garbage situation.
