Progressives Screw Up Feminism And Diversity

It might be possible that the irony deficiency that afflicts progressives isn't a congenital defect; rather, it might trigger the fear that they actually recognize the contradictions inherent in progressivism, the concomitant intellectual untenability of the majority of its tenets, and the egregious hypocrisies of its most prominent purveyors. One example is the CBC's overt support of Louis Farrakhan and their successful gambit to keep a 2005 photo of the "Minister" and then-Sen. Barack Obama buried for 13 years. Had any one of Hillary Clinton's erstwhile allies in the CBC had the decency to alert her to the existence of said photo, one of only two things could have happened: 1] all evidence of the photo would have been destroyed; 2] Hillary's campaign team would have used the photo to kill Obama's presidential aspirations in the cradle. Another might be this revelation: that Bernie Sanders told Elizabeth Warren sotto voce two years ago that "a woman can't win". Aside from the question as to why Warren would wait two years to spring this revelation, all sorts of "whataboutist" claims can be made as far as the complaints that "white women" betrayed the sisterhood by electing Trump; now we see that even progressive women would sell out their sisters for the "best" candidate. What it ultimately might mean is not that feminism and diversity are bad ideas: it might mean that progressive are actually more prone to screw them up when the opportunity arises to advance them. When, in 2024, Nikki Haley, the daughter of Sikh Indian immigrants, takes her rightful place in the White House, she will prove that societal barriers to women and "color" were primarily erected by leftists.
