    Well,Trumper, the NYT’s seriously thought that Hillary had a 91% chance of winning the presidency, 10 days before the election.

    I’ve posted the link almost a dozen times so don’t ask for it.

    The saying "women hold up half the sky," however, is not a proverb but a famous proclamation made by Mao

    So? It’s absolutely true. Women do hold up half of the sky.

    I swear you are losing it,, do i need to spell it out again? IT'S THE LANGUAGE.
    Have you ever heard this expression?
    It's not a "proverb" it's empty Maoist rhetoric -where did Biden pick it up from?

    Nah, the way Joe uses it, it means that women are vital to our society, and we are.

    where did he hear it? It came from some Maoist on his campaign staff is my best guess
    That is a very specific Mao quote- not in common parlance at all

    It’s true, why does it bother you that Biden respects women’s equal rights?

    You need to research Mao and his working to give Chinese women equal rights. Mao got a lot of things wrong, but he got this issue right.

    Are you really dumm enough as to attempt to separate the language from its meaning ?

    No- there can't be more than ten thousand references to it on the Internet.

    Biden was making the point that women can be relied upon to help the nation. The quote also suggests accurately that women have not been allowed the opportunity. He is setting the ground for a female VP. Intelligent people use quotes from all over the world. Citing Jesus does not make you a Christian. Citing Mao does not make you a Commie. Saying you must be the change you wish to see by Gandhi does not make you a Hinduism follower.
    Reds are desperate .
