i kind of agree w/ freddie there, but most of all b/c hillary clinton is a politician and that's what most politicians do, they drive wedges to win. clinton has been nastier than some, less nasty than others.
the idea that this should translate to my not voting for HC -- as deboer has argued elsewhere -- doesn't follow.
By that I mean something very simple: my communist friends who really do say that the two parties are the same make predictions about politics. My Democrat friends do the same. Looking back at the times when the two groups have clashed, the commies have been right literally 100% of the time....
literally 100%. he's done a study!
I am not ready to write off partisan politics entirely
sez, portentously, a guy who blogs and does nothing else. (wait, he teaches rhetoric.)
good ol freddie.

actually, this--
treating any concern for class as ipso facto racist and sexist
is ridiculously hyperbolic
what's with freddie and the "any" "all" "100%"
the guy doesn't know how to modulate
makes for lousy arguments
