All i said was, very simply, Joe Biden is not, and has never been a liberal or considered a liberal. He is a moderate, and has always been a moderate, and will always be a moderate.

I'm reading all of these articles with the subtle context that any man that doesn't vie for a woman has some embedded sexist reason. Maybe im reading too much into it.
Women who climb the ladder to the top have to have an extremely thick skin because there are people, women included, who are biased against women being in power and are blatant about it and there is the other feeling that people don't realize that they are putting off. Every time you are, doing almost anything in life, you are aware of certain nuances and prejudices (intended or not) that exist.
It is the same kind of thing when I think about what it is like for a black person to function in America. I know things that happen to them, I have been with people when they have been treated unfairly when I wouldn't even have been noticed, I have the knowledge that these biases exist. I think it is horrible. I hate that it happens.
But my skin is white so I don't know what it FEELS like to function as a black person in society. I don't know the mindset that a black person has to ready themselves for at the beginning of the day depending on what they are about to do that day. There is no way I can ever understand what it is like to hear people locking their car doors as I walk across the street. I act differently with authority figures because I don't have the same heightened awareness that black and brown people do. I don't have to fear for my child the same way a black person would, and take precautions.
As a white woman, I have encountered harassment in every aspect of my life - high school, college, jobs, career, societal, walking down the street. It was normal for most of my life. And you just learned to deal with it. A guy could know that that happens but they can't know how it FEELS and how a woman is aware of certain limitations and how we have to adjust depending on situations. We have to ready ourselves for certain situations. Men aren't bad, they just don't have the same experience as a woman living day to day.
I am not in the least bit surprised that a black man was voted into the WH before a woman, I just never thought it would be in my lifetime. I think that a gay man could be elected before a straight white woman. There are people who are open about their feelings that a woman does not belong in high places, let alone Commander in Chief. We know this, we feel it and we fight to not be held back by the biases that some people have. It is a learned way of living.
I hope that is what you meant Alli. If not I apologize for getting it wrong.
I was just watching Alli make her arguments on this and I know that she is in mourning and can express herself quite well but I, as a woman, felt that this is what she was getting at.
We just all need to be aware that we all walk this earth with different experiences and even the most evolved among us can only support and listen to those who walk a different path. We can never know exactly how it feels to be them. But we can learn and grow and be aware that prejudice exists even when we may not be the one putting it out there.
When a minority responds in a way I don't understand, I try to see the situation through their eyes not mine, but I can never really do that in reality and sometimes I don't really understand. But I try to understand and not judge. I don't always succeed. I try to understand their feelings about the situation, as I can see the facts or data, but just listening to where they are coming from sometimes helps.
So when people seem to over react over incidents in MY eyes, I have to remember that I haven't lived their life. I can only remain open minded and accept the intrinsic prejudice I have from my early life. I acknowledge its existence but reject it, and I just listen, know I have a lot to learn and realize if someone is extremely passionate over something I don't find to be valid, I may not be the best judge of how they should react.
Don't need to do anything with it as you already seem to understand this.0 -

Anyways, the only difference between a liberal and a cannibal is that cannibals don't eat their friends and family. I've heard.
I would not consider Joe to be a liberal or progressive, which i feel are the same thing
Oh and FYI, Sanders voted for it too. I guess he's a moderate.
Lighten up
Some people on here always have to throw a jab or try to talk slick, like this unnecessary condescending remark.

On topic, Warren is one of the smartest people to ever run for President (contrary to some opinions here). The US would be extremely fortunate to have her as their leader at this time.0 -
