Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumSo I found this article and thought you guys might like it...
Can you imagine how absolutely infuriating it must be for Hillary to have to work so hard to be likable, but strong? Hip, but above the need to be seen as cool? For everything she says to be perfect because she'd be crucified otherwise, meanwhile Bernie Sanders could say pretty much anything he wants and it would be seen as the goddamn revolution? I'm so infuriated on her behalf. Because what you like about Bernie, what they like about Trump, she doesn't get to do that. She doesn't get to be all wild hair and yelling. Do I wish different? Of course. And the first female president would go a long way toward making that difference possible.

(31,170 posts)She has been pretty clear lately that all the negative noise isn't a part of her life. She just gets on with what has to be done now.
It used to bug me that she didn't clarify things that were easy to refute, but I think I get it now. If you spend all your time answering every unkind thing said about you in public life, you'd never get the real work done.
And I think she is awesome. Funny, compassionate, and crazy smart. I think we are lucky to have her running. The world is crazy. People are constantly up in arms about something, real or imagined, and I'm glad she just cuts through all the BS and talks about the political realities.

(16,104 posts)Exactly like with Obama, you can dig a little deeper into the "opposition" and "criticism" - the resistance to any rational argument - which ultimately boils down to a really disturbing reality in America.
We need to change the perception of reality with concrete accomplishments - like with electing Obama, and now our opportunity with Hillary!
