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 😄

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

Well, yes, because they (and I'd include Sturgeon etc in Scotland) couldn't possibly have been in the position they were in without those principles. Essentially what Chomsky said to/about Andrew Marr. Your initial post appeared to equate that Clinton or Harris instead of Trump would in some way work towards ending patriarchy, rather than having nothing whatsoever to do with it.

If you take these examples and a few others that have been near the top of UK politics, then they all have one thing in common. They all tried to act hard. Like guys. Whether it’s the Iron Lady, the hostile environment, Nandy wanting coppers to batter Scottish nationalists, Mahmood putting Nick Griffin to shame. If they had society’s normal gender roles, they wouldn’t get anywhere near the top. It’s all still part of the patriarchy which is needing smashed Truss would be the exception, as she’s incapable of any type of coherent thought or strategy.

I guess we're lucky over here that the patriarchy ended with Thatcher, it's grave thoroughly stamped on by May and Truss.

Sorry, he would’ve won against Biden.

They were up against a nonce. Regardless of the circumstances, you pick the one that isn’t a nonce. Ideally, that’s not how democracy should work but these were strange times. The nonce won twice. If he was up against a guy (any other guy) he would’ve lost twice. Smash the patriarchy

Football fans asked to help solve notorious Aberdeen murder 43 years on https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6x2v8wypwkyo “Football fans attending Aberdeen's Pittodrie stadium this weekend will be asked to help solve one of Scotland's most notorious unsolved murders.“

Clinton and Harris were the patriarchy. It's not a numbers game. Women CEOs don't usher in an enlightened system. They don't get to where they are by embodying their femininity.
