Poll question: So which are you? Sexist or Racist - take the Poll
I mean if I support Hillary then I must be racist and if I support Obama then I'm sexist.

I can't win with either of them, can I?

1. I really think this election will be predicated far more by ageism than either of
the other factors.

13. I'm an ageist.
I really like the fact that Obama is young (by presidential candidate standards).

9. Where's the "I am anti Islam cause of one of them has Hussein in there somewhere" option
Or the "BO stands for body oder so I am *in favor* of stress released roll-on deodorant"?

Or the "I just seen your candidate squishing kittehs under 18 wheel tractor trailers so now you suck too!"?

Mere sexism & racism simply aren't enough. This *is* America. We want more, *more* MORE dangerously stupid crap to be lathered up about dang it! :rant:

10. There is an important point here.
Which is that it is morally impossible to use either of the arguments: that Clinton should be president because it is time we had a woman president, or that Obama should be because it is time we had a black president.

To make either of these arguments requires that you rank prejudices: that you decide racism is worse than sexism, or vice versa. But no moral person should do this. If it were either candidate against a white man, then the argument could be made, but as it is circumstances have made it impossible to do so.

In the general election it will be different. But for now, you are stuck with arguing for each candidate's personal qualities.
