I'm STILL with HER!
We literally missed the chance of a lifetime.
I am SO NOT "getting over it."
But you know what those dead enders say and too bad for them. 
That is hands down the WORST excuse of the day... but it's still early. 
YOU MAY HAVE TRICKED PEOPLE...
...into reading an OP that they never would have bothered to look at had they known its true tone.
EXPLAIN PLEASE!!!
When helpful ad hoc copy editors critique something I have written, this is my go to answer.
It is FREAKIN' obvious.
I must say, it seems to me that in the last,, what 4 months, 8 months, 18 months,, I don't know, BUT. a lot of rather easy to see subtly and irony is completely missed by more and more folks.
It's like our brains are turning into mush, into 'republican' brains,'' brains that don't understand irony and subtly and understatement and inference and humor and..... (sshhhh, don't tell anyone I used the word 'r*p*b*i**n--- I might get wacked for saying.....ah, forget it)
Maybe the Russians are secretly sneaking in code to dumb us down, or trolls or.. beats me. But this is a board full of gazillions of damn smart people. Much smarter(well maybe LOL) and sure more knowledgable than me.
For instance, I can't even spell nolegable...
From reading the excerpts? 
It's not satire. It's irony.
I assumed the irony from just the subject line. The content was exactly what I expected. Not sure why the sarcasm smilie was even necessary.
But. if you like, have a gander at my Reply #9 above.
Just an observation of mine..
is obvious. MILLIONS more votes. 
And I have yet to see one use of the word "corporatist" in any of these excerpts.
She also refuses to acknowledge that she was no better than Trump.
Sorry, but these quotes just aren't good enough.
...some pushback. 
What a mess this country has become.
I never suggested otherwise.
HRC's past offered many facts and truths ("bait"
that are easily blurred into smears.
And yes, being a community organizer is a feather in anyone's cap.
I live, and was born and raised in Calif. I've always voted for Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi ( when I lived in SF), Kamala Harris, Jackie Spear (when I lived in Silicon Valley).
If anyone were so obsessed and small to believe that misogyny is so widespread here at DU, then I'd guess that person could make up any excuse for just about anything.
I just don't vote for bullshit.
TRUTH LEANS LEFT!
to claim he is "the most popular politician in America." http://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/HHP-August-Wave_Topline-Memo_Total-Only_Registered-Voters.pdf
Only 10 percent of respondents said they hadn't heard of her. Other polls have similarly showed her with poor favor ability ratings, even ones that don't over represent independents and voters under 30.
I find it fascinating how determined you are to claim sexism has no bearing on how politicians are viewed. We hear a lot about how racism doesn't exist to. Those claims serve a very specific purpose and reveal a lot about those who cling to them.
I can imagine it's hard to see through all those women presidents of the US to discern the sexism.
We even had a reprieve in the discourse about "whores" until another potential woman candidate emerged. But of course insulting women as "whores who slept their way to the top" isn't sexism. It's a critique of the "establishment."
I certainly do believe "establishment" was an issue in the campaign. Forces aligned and are continuing to align to maintain the established social order at all costs.
Illustrating much of the teeth gnashing going on because she wrote a book.
And your bitterness and rage about her is REALLY coming out in those choices of phrases, even as casually as they are dropped in....
Might as well have used a bullhorn....
I saw the title of this OP and was instantly incensed and opened it up intending to fire back hard. I saw the sarcasm thingy and deflated as fast as I blew up a few seconds before. Just took a good lesson from this, don't blow up before getting the facts, it's obviously one I needed.
Thank you.
Is the the headline or where the article acts like it really believes these quotes are "taking responsibility?"
There were people here who were "angry" at being "tricked" because it wasn't a screed on HRC.
I added the smilie to to save others who might be outraged the outrage.
...reaction to her "email" story. It never mattered how many times or ways she scolded herself... Andrea and Mika were always going to find a word she left out... well, she didn't use the word "sorry" they said. So, she did. They only went on to say she didn't use another word...
... and, they wonder about different standards for women.
