It is pretty clear you don’t know much about her or her platform. She has been talking about paid family leave for years and as part of her platform. She supports raising the minimum wage. And she has been on board with universal healthcare for years.

I mean you could’ve looked at her website maybe https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/campaig…

I feel like people truly have no idea who she is. She’s been fighting for women and children and families her entire life. Personally and politically. It’s amazing and saddening how much people have bought into the narrative of untrustworthy, flip-flopping, craven, politically motivated Hillary.

Whatever woman became the first presidential nominee from a major US party - whether that was going to be Clinton or somebody else - was never going to be the pristine and pure beacon of hope and change, etc. that any of us may want to see, simply because it takes a championship fighter to break down barriers.

Exactly! Bernie has the freedom to be a lefty, to be an everyman, to demand progressive priorities and look like a schlub (I saw many of his supporters tout the “he doesn’t care how his hair looks!” thing as a plus) doing it. Hillary has had to walk a very narrow path for her entire life in the spotlight, and she is…

I wonder if the media has tricked you (and lots of others) into thinking you can’t enjoy HRC as a breakthrough candidate in history.

I think that’s a dangerous game to play. I know you don’t mean it this way, but I do feel that any female nominee would be met with objections of “I’ve wanted a female presidential nominee for a long time, just not this female presidential nominee.” All candidates have faults, but female candidates are expected to be…

Would it make you excited to vote for her knowing you’ll be voting for someone who will make liberal appointments to the Supreme Court (possibly even more liberal than Garland), will fight to overturn Citizens United, will work for comprehensive immigration reform, actually believes in climate change and the need to…

Younger women might also not be old enough to remember all the ridiculous sexist bullshit she had to put up with when the Clintons first came on the national scene.

But what if right now it is impossible for a woman who passes the liberal purity litmus test to get this far? What if just being a woman is so radical that it doesn’t leave much more room to move far left of center? What if demanding that kind of purity means never getting a female candidate because then we never get…

What exactly is a family-friendly platform? One where the woman candidate promises to make cookies? Or the one that exists for the world we live in where she is trying to reduce the number of kids who die from gun violence.

Hi - why do you think you were underwhelmed? Genuinely asking.

Grace and courage beyond belief. And also, notably, their message was one of hope and progress and not giving in to fear. Which was such a stark contrast to how the RNC used (and I do mean used— they were treated like props) the mothers of a couple of the people killed in Benghazi. It was like the Republicans just…

*Hill-arious.

I’ve seen multiple people on twitter say their young children asked “Who’s Bill Clinton? Is he related to Hillary?”

Someone would have to be dead inside not to be moved by that, that was great.

I can’t believe Andrew Jackson agreed to be a part of that! Seems so out of character for him.

Very good night. I may have cried a little and been, I don’t know, happy or some such thing.

Loved this moment. Loved when the camera zoomed out to all those women and girls.

She sounded so genuinly grateful that it was just made me :)
