Four male write-in candidates who emerged after state Senator Stanley Rosenberg resigned last month are being called sexist for running against a woman who is the only candidate appearing on the Democratic primary ballot.
Rosenberg resigned May 4, after the deadline for getting on the ballot had passed. But five write-in candidates have emerged, and four of them are men.
One left-wing observer says white men shouldn’t be challenging activist Chelsea Kline, who challenged Rosenberg in the Democratic primary before the filing deadline and is therefore now the only candidate on the ballot.
“If you are committed to this progressive cause, just step aside,” said Joe Kopera, of Montague, who is himself a white man, according to the Hampshire Daily Gazette.
Kline is a founding member of Badass Activists of the Pioneer Valley, a local chapter of Indivisible, an anti-Trump organization. She is also an administrator at The American Women’s College at Bay Path University in Longmeadow.
Critics say she isn’t qualified to be a state senator.
But supporters find it upsetting that so many write-in candidates are challenging her.
“For a lot of people, among them many feminists, there was a lot of frustration at what seemed to be a wave of men jumping in to take out the woman the minute they thought they had an opportunity,” said Rachel Gordon, a Greenfield resident and campaign manager for a candidate in another race, according to the Hampshire Daily Gazette.
The candidates are running in the September 4 Democratic primary for the Hampshire and Franklin and Worcester District of the Massachusetts Senate, which includes Amherst and Northampton. No Republicans are running.
Politics can be rough.
I have an idea.
OK...It is “sexist” for a man to run against a woman...
It is NOT “sexist” for a woman to run against a man...
It is “racist” for a white man to criticize a black man...
It is NOT “racist” for a black man to criticize a white man...
It is OK for a man to claim to be a woman and go into the women’s bathroom/locker room/changin area...
This bullsh*t has to stop somewhere......
Oh my. They use to hide their true agendas. Now it is all blatantly mainstreamed and in the open.
but Transgenders can pound them in sports
When one write-in challenges a established candidate or a disgraced candidate , he/she/it/they might have a chance. Small, but a chance.
When four challenge, They are only killing each other.
Why waste your time and money?
Taxachusetts is a lost cause.
And those are only a few examples.
Imagine if this were a set of Republicans. Would this “progressive” support for The Woman be there?
There is a worlwide war against White men.
Eating their own.
If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen..
“...Joe Kopera, of Montague, who is himself a white man, ...”
Is his race important?
Is the content of her character of any value?
These people are nuts.
I think we may be witnessing a renewed passion among feminist that, after HRC’s loss, has invigorated them to get involved.
Similar to the Tea Party’s activism but completely unhinged.
I didn’t pay much attention to the immigration protests over the past weekend but my impression was that it was just a bunch of crazed feminists and a lot of them.
If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen!
Or better yet, just stay in the kitchen and fix me a turkey pot pie!
Mmmm, Ring Dings and Pepsi would make a nice dinner gift!
We place a big bottle of Pepsi right in the middle of the table!
I was thinking of that.
I hope some read between the lines of my post.....;)
"But five write-in candidates have emerged, and four of them are men. " so that means one of them is a girl... is she sexist too???
