I wish I could star this more.

Same. It had a “paid by the word” sound to it.

I just read the book, and she absolutely discusses intersectionalism.

It was a good book. And her points about our cyber issues and the entire half of the book where she offers practical solutions are both excellent. She takes blame for those who want to see her put on a hair shirt, imo more than she should.

It’s a…

If the book does “more harm” then it is simply because of sexism and I don’t like the idea of giving into sexism. Ever.

I keep reading the article wondering when it would end, because it seemed to be endless and yet meaningless at the same time.

“Cool girls” are gonna “Cool girl” the hell out of an article about Hillary Clinton. Seriously, the Jezebel writers are incapable saying anything just plain complementary about Hillary Clinton without the “I’m still a cool girl and really hate her” commentary.

I don’t mind the trolls as much as I mind the “progressives” who violently hate Hillary for reasons that have nothing to do with her gender even though they have no issue with male politicians who are as guilty — if not more so — of the things they claim to hate Hillary for. Like all the people who hate Hillary…

Could anyone say less with more words?

Agreed. Hillary’s candidacy, like Obama’s presidency, are windows to the shrouded misogyny and racism roiling under the surface of the American landscape. Both political figures held up a lens that allowed the average Anerican (and the world) to see the depth and breadth of these problems, which must be faced and…

Yeah the insistence that she “let it go already” (when “it”=one of the greatest personal and national traumas in US history) (and also when “it” happened less than a fucking year ago?) seems, surprise, gendered to me.

I mean, it took almost negative 30 minutes of Trump’s godforsaken administration for all the “Obama wasn’t the progressive President we wanted” Dems to be like “Remember Saint Obama? Those were the days.”

Then don’t read it but don’t suggest that Hillary should keep quiet under because “the party needs to heal.” Healing doesn’t happen by blindly moving forward, but by addressing the sickness head-on. I’ve heard Hillary take ownership of her failure as a candidate several times. I have yet to hear Bernie once take…

Part of that happening is getting a good grasp on why a modern version of the Know Nothings overran the GOP and now holds all three branches of the federal government plus a majority of state governments.

Yes, because the misogyny that worked against Hillary is clearly sooooo 2016.

There are plenty of other people on that train who can take over the conductor role for some time.

Go read wonkette’s. They shut down the trolls hard over there, and it was all just a ton of fun. I think the house of snark is a little tired of the sainting of Bernie and is having their fun wherever they can.

I finished it earlier today and I would encourage everyone to read it. I found it to be a refreshingly blunt account of HER experiences. You may like what she has to say, you may not, but I thought the book was very well done. She defends herself and her decisions when she feels that she should and admits fault in…

They just don’t like her. Oh, and Pelosi. Oh, an Kamala. Oh, and Warren since she sold out Bernie.

Given that Hillary Clinton has had the temerity to be an intelligent,ambitious woman who served as a senator and as Secretary of State, the animosity her book was generated indicates that sone people have a big problem with uppity women.

Agree! That was a fabulous episode.
