First draft:

I don’t know, but the subtext is: look how shitty of a writer you can be and still work for Vanity Fair if you’re a middle aged white guy.

Now I know how to describe the vivid, sensory experience of having lived in Portugal, Jordan, Turkey, and Mexico.

Indeed. She is well known for having lots of advisors go over the actual feasibility of policy changes. She’s a careful politician who tends to offer concrete, modest proposals after having spent a lot of time thinking about how these proposals could be implemented, how they might influence other proposals (taxes),…

Dismissal of liberal arts is BS. Degrees in many hard science fields are even less applicable to the job market than something like a literature degree, and some engineering fields that used to be considered a sure thing (like petroleum engineering) are now out on their asses thanks to the oil price crash. There is…

Don't you know that when HRC changes her stance on an issue/policy it's called "flip flopping" or "being a disengenious bitch" instead of "reacting to new information", "evolving" or "accomodating the changing interests of her constituents".

“I’ll never vote for Hillary because people I respect don’t agree with her!”

Right - it’s really exactly how the politics thing is supposed to work. Politicians are meant to represent the will of the people and work to create a government and laws that model that will.

Exactly. The whole “OMG she changes her plans because of political pressure” thing is like... not exactly awful because that means we can pressure her into doing things we like.

So, if she moves left she is a wrong and if she doesn’t she is still wrong. Fuck you and your fucking purity. We don’t need you. We don’t care if you vote. We don’t want people like you to associated with our slow and steady progression. The movement has brought so much good. We will not stop.

This group is expertly targeting vulnerable demographics: the elderly, non-English speaking immigrants who are trying to live in a foreign country. Meeting someone who speaks the same language, from a similar if not the same culture, and happens to know specific and intimate details about your life telling you your…

“How dare crooked criminal Hilary Clinton adopt a policy proposal modified from that of the candidate I supported! DOES SHE THINK SHE CAN BUY OUR VOTES THROUGH ACTUALLY MAYBE ENACTING THE POLICIES WE REALLY REALLY WANT?!?!” - how you are about to sound, probably, so maybe don’t.

The refinancing part has been part of her platform all along.

I agree that college tuition is far too expensive, but I'm not entirely sold on making college tuition-free. But completely changing the way that student loans are handled, that's a move I can 100% get behind.

The moratorium/refinancing/forgiveness announcement is more exciting, because it is likely to happen. Adding incentives for desired professions like teaching is doubly exciting.

Also respect the troops but don’t actually put enough money in that defense budget for their mental and physical health after they come home.

Sure, and if it’s basically a threat meant to force someone to do something they might not be ready to do, that’s obviously terrible. But there’s nothing in here that indicates that this is what Ann was up to, and he obviously took it seriously enough to fly home and think about his big picture. Absent other details,…

Right, I’m not suggesting that Colbert is a villain — far from it, he seems to have taken her seriously, used the decision making moment as a way to reflect and make a good decision about his and her future together. There’s just no reason to paint her as a bad guy (there doesn’t have to be a bad guy!), and I’d expect…

I read some of her emails when the were first released. They weren’t national security ones. She just sounded like a great boss.

Actually, taken as a whole, Hillary is to the left of even Obama. It’s just that, when it comes to foreign affairs, she’s overtly to the right of him, and people (read: Berners) tend to see that a lot more than they see her progressive stances on women’s rights and LGBTQ rights, for some reason. Some completely…

Oh they will vote for Jill Stein, because Jill Stein will never be president. And a woman who will never be president is okay in Bernielandia.
