I offer you my deepest condolences on the fact that she didn’t say what you, personally, think she should have. After all, your opinion is the only one that matters.

He rejected her apology because he saw right through her motivations for giving it (and it wasn’t because she was actually sorry for baselessly attacking him).

Extreme partisan hackery? You think these kids are motivated by one-upping the right? Now That’s Outrageous. You really need to learn to differentiate between honest, in-good-faith arguments and propaganda crafted to manipulate. These kids aren’t playing a game.

These kids aren’t getting attention for their policy acumen - they’re getting attention because they are expressing the agony and frustration many of us feel about this issue, and doing it in an emotionally honest, direct and fearless manner. They’re standing up to national institutions like the NRA that were thought…

Hmmm...there’s something familiar about a former Senator and Secretary of State getting shafted over a reality TV star but I can’t quite place it.....

I went to Rutgers’ Camden campus (and now work there), which I loved, so I like to tell myself we’re a different breed and wouldn’t have let that happen. It’s the only way to solace myself.

Exactly did Obama have to deal with Russian Bots? I don’t think so.

People wouldn’t be relitigating the primary if Bernie Sanders didn’t immediately try to act as though he were the de facto leader of the party and the resistance prior to Trump even being inaugurated.

I completely agree. Also, why shouldn’t we be post-morteming the election and trying to figure out reasons for the loss? That seems like it would be very helpful?

Also, we can just look at the way this op-ed was written. It’s full of asides to remind you how shitty or greedy she is, and then at the very end, begrudgingly admits that her being upset is maybe sorta somewhat valid.

So would I. But he’s not. And everyone still drags her into conversations and usually lying on her. Therefore, it’s ridiculous to demand the person who is being talked about to not speak out as well.

It’s not like she’s appearing at Democratic party gatherings, trying to campaign for Democratic candidates, or even giving interviews to the press. She’s doing a normal post loss speaking engagements, many of them private, but since she’s Hillary Clinton, people are making sure the things she’s saying get fed back to…

Yeah, it’s funny how the woman who was running wrong is also the woman who lost wrong. It’s like there’s some underlying reason why these people think everything she does is wrong...

Not everyone turns their campaign book into a year plus egotistical pity party that regularly makes news when they relitigate the election at promo stops.

Like, Al Gore *did* go away pretty completely for a while. He had to come back with a whole movie and his global warming shtick.

She’d be getting nowhere near the same degree of flack if she’d done what other failed presidential candidates have done over the past couple decades and shut up/gone away for a year or two before resurfacing.

I don’t recall anyone telling those other candidates to go away

She was invited to speak, and then she was asked a question, which was pointing out the exact same attitude that you’re projecting, how does it feel to constantly be told you’re time is over, sit down and shut up. It’s gotta hurt, and she gave a poised answer, but no doubt it cut. She gave her life to the Democratic…

I suspect I’m in the minority but this: “...it isn’t necessarily helpful at this very moment.” fucking irks the shit out of me. Like, what, she’s supposed to slink off back to the kitchen where she should’ve stayed to begin with, because that’s what’s HELPFUL for us right now? Fuck that.

Women get abused and humiliated by violent men and never tell anyone because they feel that no one will believe them. Conroy lied about being abused and humiliated by a violent man because he knew everyone would believe him.
