Sometimes he gets it right...



Especially love that he points out that 'the unflawed candidate DOES NOT EXIST'.

Fuck yes, honestly.

I don't believe that any other MALE candidate had to deal with the stuff Hillary dealt for all these years. In terms of "stamina" (The word Donald Poop kept using in the first debate, without even knowing the meaning) she smokes them all.

That is a proven fact. And I wonder how any of them would have coped... >:)

Very good, very needed point :D

Only yesterday I was watching that documentary about Bernadette Chirac, our former first lady, and there was that bit about Hillary Clinton that made me smile—how she came to visit France quite a long time ago, and very specifically wanted to visit Mrs. Chirac's tiny constituency somewhere in the neck of the woods, because she wasn't in politics then and Mrs. Chirac was, and one could tell she was genuinely interested in getting into that. And watching that today, that very first spark, is just fascinating and rather girl-power-y ;)

I hate the fact that people always have to go 'Yes, but...'

People want everything. Which can be good sometimes, as long as they're prepared to accept that they're just not going to get it all…

When he hits the mark, he really hits the mark. The flip side is that when he misses, it's a doozy.

Indeed. I'm glad that he didn't miss this time.

Yes!! He really hit the mark there!!

Joss using his power for good...

[identity profile] eaweek.livejournal.com 2016-10-19 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Bravo! I don't agree with everything Joss says/ does, but like HRC herself, he's been around long enough so that he's going to have misses as well as hits.

The important thing is to keep trying.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

It makes me crazy when the media parrots the line that HRC and the Dumpster are "the two most disliked candidates in recent history..." No, HRC is disliked only by the GOP and their media shills. If the voters disliked her so badly, they'd have nominated Bernie Sanders instead.

Yeah, and when he screws up, he does so pretty badly. (Ugh 'season 8'...) But I'm glad he's on the right side this time.

When I began to get invested, the thing that stood out was that very narrative. It reminded me of 'Moffat is a misogynist' - if you say it often enough, it sticks, even though the truth is far removed.

Yes, very good! I like the fact that he brought up how much she has had to endure and how most people couldn't do it. I can't wait to see what kind of president she'll be.

Perfection. Absolute perfection. He just nailed it all down flawlessly. Yes, she has made decisions I haven't been happy with...but she is learning and growing and she is more than ready for the Presidency. And I am more than ready for her to BE the President!

*HUGS*

This is the thing. She listens. She admits it when she gets it wrong. She works to fix mistakes.

So excited! We need something good in 2016!

P.S. Happy birthday! (??)

Heh. He's got a fair few black marks in my book, but it's nice to see him on the right side this time. :)

And thank you!! <333
