I think calling a former Secretary of State "Mrs. Bill Clinton" is patronising and sexist but maybe that's just me.

No, it's not just you. It was sexist even decades ago when she was the first lady.

Sexism is against the rules on Wrong Planet.

Are you saying that referring to Hillary Clinton as "Mrs Bill Clinton" is now a violation of WP rules?

All-Caps titles should be... who the heck thinks their topic is so important as to warrant SO MUCH ATTENTION, anyway? (I wish someone could edit that noise... nurseangela has some cheek...)

Oh yeah, lets elect another career politician with a law degree and expect something different. The Clinton's were bought and paid for a long time ago. Let's hear it for the oligarchy! Hip hip hooray! Hell, we may as well let Monsanto run the country if Hitlery is elected.

Don't you think that would be excessive?

I do think it would be excessive, which is why I'm asking you, as the your response to the quote tree seemed to suggest that you would consider it a rule break.

Was just posting that as a warning to prevent the discussion from devolving into more sexism.

Isn't the internet a funny place? If I say it's white, someone's gonna say it's black. If I say it's hot, someone's gonna say it's cold. If I say it's tall, someone's gonna say it's short. In other words, I can't ever win. Argue just to hear the sound of their voice. Sheesh!

Oh Alex, BTW, how come you made it that someone can't retract their statements from PPR?

Why make statements just to retract them later? That's a very Trump-like thing to do.

It's disingenuous to act tough on a thread knowing you won't get banned and have an audience to pander to, Dox.

Can someone tell me if I'm missing something here, or does this just make as little sense as I think it does?

Hillarys America will suck, however....Trumps America might suck more, perhaps Hillarys america still stands the chance of progressing to something better. I don't know yet, it's just a thought for now.
