In reply to the discussion: 9 Devastating Quotes That Show Hillary Clinton Still Won't Take Responsibility for Her Loss [View all]JCanete
(5,272 posts)her book. That doesn't change at all whether or not what you presented here does the work you say it does. It doesn't, or show me how anything I addressed is wrong?
I also totally agree with her that some of the reasons she lost this race were entirely out of her control, and were the work of 20 years or so of absolute media vilification. I also agree that sexism is rampant. People still respond to women differently. People not liking her voice is absurd but also almost certainly something people really rejected her for over the years. It is worth talking about. She has every right to talk about it in her book. Was that taking responsibility for something though? Be fucking honest.
I don't actually have any interest in bashing Clinton. I strongly disagree with the nonsense she stated about how Sanders hurt her, or how he was both offering Pony's but that they had nearly the exact same platforms at the same time, and where people were saying that she was stating the uncomfortable "facts," I thought it was worth interjecting.
But it does bother me that you people would want to make a point so badly that they would use evidence as weak as what was presented in the OP and take it to mean far far more than it does because it fits a desired narrative.
I have no interest in whether or not she takes responsibility for what happened. In fact,those who want to lay this whole thing at her feet are being entirely unfair for reasons I already mentioned, from sexism to the demagoguery in the media.
