Porter endorsed.
The nonsense about her supposedly mistreating her staff gives me flashbacks to Klobuchar. This wouldn't even have been a story if either politician were male. Then they'd just be seen as "tough" and "demanding" bosses at worst.
Sexism is maybe the dumbest, most irrational and unjustified of all prejudices, which is really saying something. It deserves to be decisively defeated at every turn.
I can assure you, I’d think this was fundamentally gross even if Schiff were the one doing it.
I don't believe you. Even if you believe it, I strongly suspect you are subconsciously influenced by sexism. This despite the fact that women are literally half the human race and are at least as smart as men on average. That's why I say it's the dumbest of all prejudices. The fact is the "evidence" that Porter was somehow abusive as a boss is extremely weak at best, as documented in this thread alone, but as with Klobuchar people seem quicker to believe the narrative and quicker to shoot down conflicting evidence than they ever likely would with a male like Schiff.
At the end of the day, we need younger people, more liberal people, and yes, more women in power. Porter is 13 years younger than Schiff. She is a better pick for the Senate IMO on that basis alone. The Democratic Party's biggest weakness perhaps is preferring old names to rising stars, an ironically "conservative" approach compared to the GOP actually. Time to move on and get over that BS.
