I’m going to get this out of my system and move on- there’s a lot of work to do.
Until the day the pie ads came I thought we were all here to focus without distraction to to elect more and better Democrats. All of us, you know, equal and respected, with a laser focus on building a coalition supporting progressive policies.
Then Ginger and MaryAnne and whipped cream….. seriously.
In frustration, but wanting to move forward in a positive direction, I put out a diary-feeler for organizing women, The Democratic Women’s Insurrection Forum. A braver and more direct soul than I recognized the intent and called out the ad series for essentially creating a hostile work environment- and we received hostile and sustained pushback that still echoes through this site.
So here we are. Moore and Trump are standing steadfast holding the same “don’t be such snowflakes about sexual content in a workplace” pie ground some here fought for. Democrats are losing credibility and power with every revelation of inappropriate behavior- at a time when we’re losing ground on almost every policy issue and we can’t afford to bleed.
So, about defending that locker room culture when we had some important work to focus on instead- Can you hear me now?
Dammit.
