All democrats are held to a different standard on here. As they should be. It's implicit in what they pretend to stand for. They're being judged against expectations, not against the republican candidate.

Not sure that being black would hold her back given how popular Obama was.

There just wasn’t a story there. Thats how everyone lives north of Milngavie

I don’t recall say either were credible. I thought both were incredibly poor candidates. Again though, they were up against a narcissistic vegetable who rapes women and almost certainly children. Harris in particular was triple fucked, on account of being communist, black and female I wouldnt argue about the mechanics of how they both got to where they did but they were clearly held to a different standard by the electorate & Donstalk posters

She lost because of voter cross check and other nefarious activities. She was held to a different standard, because as a seasoned member of the patriarchy, she wasn't particularly convincing in its arguments. Neither Harris. Neither Bernie Sanders. If she's going to try and win whilst being a warmongering, neoliberal zealot, then she either needs to be a lot more zealoty or better at the arguments. There's a reason why Le Pen and Meloni had no problems winning large numbers of votes, just as a strong right wing female would win for the Republicans. I find it bizarre that you think either Clinton or Harris were credible candidates for the manifesto they were selling (big business, finance, neoliberal dogma).

Bigot.

There’s that different standard.

Surely if Harris was so great her own party would have invoked the right to remove Biden who was clearly not mentally fit for office a long time before the election to allow her time to show what she could do. Perhaps the voters in the swing states took that as a sign that the Democrats didn’t even think she was a suitable candidate.

You are not going to play as much. I have spoken with the gaffer (Thelin) and he doesn't see how you fit in the team'.” “When Jimmy (Thelin) first came in, the first conversation I had with him was when he said 'I am going to play you as a number 10' which I had never done before. He said 'you are going to be our main player and we are going to get your goals and assists up'. But by the end of the season he said 'I don't want you to be here. It's not a case of me not loving you as a player, it's a case of trying to get money in (for the club)'.”

Entertaining game between Malaga and Espanyol. Espanyol were better team in first half and should been a few ahead but only 1-0 up. Malaga much better team in second half and equalising with a great strike just before the end.

Red John must have all the answers. He usually does.

Yes! A public execution!

Going on Sunday, but not looking forward to it. Just not feeling it this season.

If the crack AbMad investigation team couldn't crack it, not a hope in hell Police Scotland are doing it.

Sunday game means this is another I will miss. Season ticket proving to be a cracking investment this year. Would like to see us going with both Nisbet and Mouloua but expect Robinson to go with Olousanya and Nisbet. St Johnstone have looked decent in spells so far so might be a decent game. Oot Couch Couch Couch. 1-1 Nisbet

Clinton lost because she was held to a different standard than Trump

It isn't. Clinton got the most votes. She lost because of gerrymandering and vote manipulation. The reason they got to where they were was because of their role in patriarchy, not the opposite. They can hardly complain about the rules of a game that they used to their benefit. Clinton "beat" Sanders in the democratic primary using some of the same methods that the republicans (who are far, far better at it) did to prevent her from winning.

My point being made beautifully here

I think when looking at village idiots, the incumbent is top of the class compared to any actual or potential challengers.....or anyone on here.....or most people anywhere. It's also pretty obvious said incumbent is a bugger crook than most. So I'm afraid that argument doesn't really wash with me. And I don't agree Kamala Harris is an idiot.

Clinton lost because she was a crook, and Harris lost because she was the village idiot. Nothing to do with them being women.

Was it the strange cackling sounds at the very beginning 😄

Prince - Little Red Corvette

I didn't think they’d end it but it is the reason they never got the job.
