Jaime Harrison to Sen Blackburn: FTW

65. I've taken a Rutgers-Eagleton American Women and Politics course and I know what I am doing.

Whenever anyone talks about a woman's looks, whether in a bad or good light, they lose 5% points in favorability during an election.

Men can have their looks talked about in negative and positive lights and it does not affect their favorability one iota.


I'm doing what every Republican does to a Female Democratic candidate and politician, talk about their looks, because if Democrats take the high road and Republicans always take the low road, assholes like Bachmann, Blackburn, Boebart and Majorie Taylor Greene will keep get elected or re-elected to office.


Now, in a perfect world, what you are saying is 100% correct, but not in the political arena, especially a political arena where Republicans pull out all the stops to make sure female Democratic candidates are denigrated. This includes FOX News and other RW media--they all know this is how to tear down female Democratic candidates, and whenever you hear them speak, the first thing they go to on a female Democratic politician is their appearance--what they wear, the brands, how expensive or inexpensive the clothing and accessories are (yes, dinged for spending too much, and spending too little--we saw this with AOC's outfits), the fashion style, the makeup, etc... and they drone on and on about it.
