And even if it isn't I'm going to plant my flag on this rhetorical hill because I really want to talk about how minorities are doing something wrong.
Wow that is some
thickly spread sarcasm. I'd say it's nearly
too much sarcasm.
Do you disagree that some people will vote for her solely because she's a woman? Do you disagree that Clinton realises this, and she realises it makes sense to play the gender card to a degree?
Is it her central campaign narrative? No, and nobody suggested this. Does it factor in to some extent? Yeah, of course it does. Is this type of identity politics that we should be supporting or condemning? Well, we probably shouldn't support it, we should probably support more merit-based judgements.
That's all Bod was saying. I get your that actual beef with him is that he considers Trump more meritorious than Clinton. You should argue that point instead of this one.
