2 hours ago - I JUST WORK HERE: Donald Trump's sexism is setting a terrible ... The issue of men interrupting women has been studied over and over again ...

    Just to balance this topic -yet another - on the insufferable male privilege of interrupting women of even high social status: a passage in " Some novelists I have known " by Somerset Maugham.

         This particular novelist was a guest in Maugham's home. A woman friend of Maugham was eager to meet with him - " a marvelous talker " , she was told.  The guest started to talk. The woman quickly interrupted him.

"  He stopped and when she had finished , went on. Again she interrupted him and again he stopped. When she paused he started once more again and again she interrupted. IT WAS EVIDENT THAT HER WISH WAS NOT TO HEAR H.G. TALK  but to have him listen to her talk .He gave me one of his funny grins and relapsed into silence...

        For the rest of lunch he sat mute while she gave utterance to a stream of shattering platitudes....

       When she went away she said she had a wonderful time ".

So Harpy Hillary " won " the presidential debate ?

New York Times beating the war drums

What does hawk " Wall St. Hillary " WINNING the debate with Donald Trump mean to any real democratic socialist or anti-war voter ? She is more qualified to start World War III ?

In just a few months the Hillary Clinton Democrats have evolved into a neo-con War Party. Her political rhetoric ignores any imagined working class ( deplorables ? ) base and panders to right wing voters- the more privileged part of the population.

Just what nightmare is American capitalism -led by " liberal " Hillary Clinton - preparing for the world ? Demonizing right wing nationalist Trump does not make her look any more appealing to the still " progressive " left.

Brown students encounter " disturbing " criticism of the capitalist way of life

Criticism of capitalism - a traumatic, unexpected experience for the average Brown student ? How many A+ scholars never encounter any serious, passionate criticism of capitalism in their whole academic careers ?

 As Karl Marx explained : " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ".
Nope, nothing that " Wall St. Hillary " can't fix. Above all save the ruling class !

Socialist comment on first presidential debate : Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump

" There was not the slightest intellectual substance or reasoned political content to the so-called “debate.” No topic was addressed with either intelligence or honesty. Both candidates lied without effort or shame, slinging insults and prepared one-liners against each other while posturing as advocates of working people. "

       Just a quote on last night's debate from the World Socialist Web Site. I agree. Clearly, Hillary Clinton is the darling of Establishment USA. The right wing nationalist Donald Trump has aroused significant -misguided- working class support.

 Hillary Clinton 's stock in trade is this effete, intellectually bankrupt " identity politics ". While the Hillary Democrats smear Republican Trump as a racist and bigot they never stop pandering to race and gender.

    The whole purpose of neo-liberal " identity politics " is to dull class consciousness and give American capitalist society a veneer of concern for social justice.

          As if imperialist war and class oppression can continue without arousing racial and ethnic hatred. The real American political crisis will come the day after the next president takes office : a very divided America.   [

Clinton-Trump debate: A degrading spectacle

By Patrick Martin, 27 September 2016

The 90-minute exercise in reaction and backwardness was an indictment not only of the candidates, but also of the political system that produced them. ]
