18. insisting on derailing a conversation away from issues about women
Mon Jan 20, 2014, 02:13 PM

certainly isn't progressive or open minded. You really should not be in HOF. You are free to post about those issues in another forum. You are purposefully disrupting this discussion to make it about you. I for one have no interest in you or the fact you are annoyed Clinton might run for President. This thread isn't about how much you hate Clinton and how some feel compelled to place on her responsibility for all the ills of the United States. It is about the CONTENT of the article Secretary Clinton wrote: about the status of women in the US vis a vis the rest of the developed world. You have nothing to say about that, and I will request you cease disrupting this thread. If I should ever post a thread arguing for Clinton as a Presidential candidate, your comments might be appropriate there. There are probably at least ten hate on Hilary threads now. Go join in on one of those and promote another person who voted for Iraq, like Biden or Kerry. The game is transparent and frankly I find it boring. HOF has a specific SOP that you are not in adherence with.

I find little more tedious than the tendency of many on DU to reduce issues to their assessment of individuals, of the good guy vs. the bad guy (or woman). If I wanted to engage in that, I would have posted this is GD. There is a reason I did not. I also really despise playing fantasy 2016 presidential election when no one has announced a candidacy. This is not MSNBC.
