Just When You Thought Elections Couldn't Get Much Worse

There's a nice wrap-up from a month or so ago of the racial and gender politics of the election by Betsy Reed in The Nation. . Most interesting to me is the fact that much of Hilary Clinton's most ardent support comes from a sort of anti-media backlash, a retaliation at the predominating sexism that shows no sign of slowing. At this stage, it became a battle rather than a mere historic election. Could this reinvigorate feminism?
