And Song's quote
"Medicare-for-all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores who are beholden to big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us."Which leads me to this question: if the word whore is improper, then is it proper if corporate Democrats are beholden to big pharma? No? Still, the word Democratic whore, Republican whore, evangelical whore seems to be justifiable if you're not a PoC (Person of Color).
There has been an increase in white progressives calling Hillary a corporate whore, which is wrong, but no one from the DNC has called upon these men or women to stop them or to repudiate their comments either...but it's the primary, there's an election going on, what about after the elections? Why is it that PoC have a different standard" blacks and Latinos are victims of Republican racism during an election but after the dust and smoke are cleared, they are super predators? That comment was voiced during the 1996 campaign for Bill Clinton, which Hillary REGRETS saying, yet no one from the Democratic Party repudiated her for that comment?
This is what white privilege looks like. If you're white, you can call blacks and Latinos as well as PoC super predators, but if you're a PoC and call a party a whore, you're sexist, bigoted:

@paulysong Misogyny has no place in democratic political discourse. It was sexist, offensive and wrong. Language like this hurts women.— Beth K (@musicmuse) April 14, 2016

The double standard in the DNC is sickening and hypocritical. PoC are fodder for the white elite corporatist in the party and are pawns so that they can get elected or reelected. So what's the difference between the DNC and RNC? The first letter.

Will Bill Clinton be repudiated for this comment or will he get a pass because he's white?
