His pretty direct and bold comments on institutional racism in the wake of the Charleston shooting make him very much preferable to Hillary on social issues, given what they imply about his general approach to race.

    I'm much more interested in a politician's public statements. Sanders has been a consistent and passionate supporter of progressive social policy since before most Redditors were born. Clinton has been milquetoast and weak on many social questions, as emblemized by her boilerplate response to the shooting.

    I was calling out the sexism in your post. You didn't catch on.

    Ah, you seem to be under the impression that calling her "Hillary" (you misspelled her name, by the way) is sexist? Her official campaign materials regularly refer to her in the same way, and in fact her own campaign is literally titled "Hillary for America". I generally agree that referring a woman by her first name in this sort of context can be sexist, but she herself has embraced "Hillary" as her brand and a way to distinguish her from her husband.

    It's an unnecessary call-out, whose wrong-headedness was only amplified by your pointless and unhelpful sarcasm.

    So? Referring to her first name is disrespectful and informal. It only goes to show the level of depth with the sexism in our society that even her campaign believes this informality is acceptable.

    It is the same reason why Jeb has embraced Jeb (see jeb2016.com). Because they share a last name with someone who has some baggage, they are deliberately attempting to distance themselves from their last name to a degree.

    I know what they are doing. Still doesn't make it any less sexist.

    Please tell me you're a troll. Your hostility and stubbornness are just making you look like a fool, and is exactly the sort of thing that makes actually necessary call-outs harder to do.

    George W. Bush was and is constantly referred to as "GW" and "Dubya" by the press and by the public. Jeb Bush is consistently called "Jeb". Many other male Presidents have received similarly informal nicknames where there isn't even a chance for name confusion: Ike, FDR (and LBJ and JFK), and Teddy, for starters. It's just not particularly sexist for Hillary to receive similar treatment.

    You're being ridiculous, and it's just a terrible look for you.

    Sure if you want to ignore history and the very real history of men not taking women seriously/not respecting women and seeing them as underqualified. I have no idea why you're so insistent on justifying sexism but OK.
