22. Bless Chas Pierce for saying this forcefully. We MUST have Hillary's back.

I watched the talking heads take her words apart and distort the hell out of them after her commencement address at Wellesley and at the Codecon. Where I saw, once again, a highly rational thinker expressing herself intelligently and dispassionately, they insisted once again on a narrative that she was bitter, relitigating, rehashing, not taking personal responsibility, and on and on ad nauseum.

What it boils down to is: Be Ashamed of Yourself, Hillary, and SHUT UP and GO AWAY.

Once again folks: She won by 3 million votes even after gerrymandering, voter suppression, and ethnic cleansing of voter rolls. She won by 3 million votes even after our election was hacked in what amounts to an Act of War.

And the majority of the media pundits want her to STFU about this cancer eating our body politic. They want to make it all about her, and she is trying to make people understand that it is NOT all about her.

Are we going to let them do this to her? Are we going to let them do this to America?

Not just no, but Hell No. Let's all vow to have her back -- and be vigilant even at DU.
