I think this maneuver could have totally sunk Bernie if a woman had beat Trump, but alas
That's the part that always angered me to no end. I take Bernie at his word that he didn't say it, but even IF he had it should be fucking obvious to **anyone ** doing an honest good faith reading that the sentiment he was expressing was:
"Fucking shit...maybe America is just that Misogynistic that they'd pick Trump over any female candidate..."
If you genuinely think that feeling or expressing that sentiment in the sour mood of post 2016 election season makes you a misogynist you obviously haven't got a couple of drinks with a bunch of raging feminists trying to find solace in hellworld.
Yup, maybe if she'd quoted him he'd have been like "yes I said that, is there something wrong with it?" but since she, at best, put a huge spin on it... its not even wrong to say "wtf are you talking about" lol

this is what i always thought as well, and tbh I actually do think he said it, maybe, but yeah I straight up dont see how the sentiment is bad at all.
Low key...I actually do as well. I also fully support his decision to deny it outright and not get caught in a cynical trap.
