(13,184 posts)You know, I never see anyone asking a candidate, "What is your position on rape culture?"
I do hear people asking about abortion rights, access to health care, equal pay, and similar issues.
I think black people understand with crystal clarity that they live in a racist society. And so does any white progressive who has managed to make it out of high school.
Tennessee just passed a law that will criminalize pregnant women who use drugs if they have poor outcomes. The activists I've spoken to about it say of course poor women and especially poor women of color will be the ones most dramatically impacted (as if I needed them to tell me that). Meanwhile, the "activists" here on DU spend day after day and post after post fighting these stupid little range wars. Whether Monica Lewinsky is a "slut" or not is so much more important, apparently.
I'm done. I actually know better than wasting my time with this shit. But sometimes I fall off the wagon. You have fun, now.
