Oooh man I read way too much into your comment.
i can’t get over ANY OF THIS
OH SHIT! Tilda came with fucking receiptsssssssssss
And the deer will garner more sympathy.
Well, at least it was a deer and not a person who died in state custody this time.
i am reading claude hopkins amazing autobiography, “my life in advertising” from the 1960s. he has a nugget that will ring true even today:
“let me digress here to say that the road to success lies through ordinary people. they form the vast majority. the man who knows them and is one of them stands the vastly better…
Bravo.
Consider this - Harry Truman had a sign on his desk saying “the buck stops here”. Her failures are her fault. Trump was beatable and she failed.
Stop making excuses for her, or accepting excuses from her or her campaign.
omg, also, yes. I am astounded at the number of people who are like “WELL DOES DATA LIE?!” and I wanna be like “...no, you’re just shitty at understanding what it’s actually trying to tell you.” Like all the neanderthals that say that predictive polls are bogus b/c Clinton lost. I want to go “Well, I don’t know how…
I <3 it when people don’t get the joke. It gives me something to live for in these dark times.
They assumed Clinton would perform at the same level as Obama, completely ignoring the fact that Obama is a generational political talent.
Like, all these people are blaming the numbers, who do they think crunched the numbers incorrectly?
Except they should have known their modeling was off when they were so off on midwest states in the primaries.
I was surprised they even closed down their Indianapolis office before the primary. She lost Indiana to Sanders, but knowing she would probably still get the nomination, I drove to the center where her office was and they were gone. I was ready to sign up to volunteer for them.
The Democratic Party desperately needs to seek out and nurture rising talent. The party leadership is old—very old. While I can name a number of high-profile younger politicians within the GOP—Paul Ryan being a prominent example—it’s much harder for me to name anyone off the top of my head with the Democrats. That…
Not Booker please.
I adore both of these dudes but was always skeptical of folks keeping them in the 2020 conversation as well. 80 is up there.
