Wish Bernie was younger. Wish Warren was younger. Wish I had three or four more names on the tip of my tongue. I don't. The bench has time to grow but the bench is starting out very short.___________________________________________

my buddy at Yale said the university is offering special grief counseling for the student body and the students are requesting extra time to prepare for exams in light of the election results and all the stress it is now causing them. roflmao
In case you were not aware, it is almost impossible for any student at Yale to receive a grade below a B. The professor must have anything undr a B approved by his faculty supervisor and not before offering the student extra credit in order to justify bumping said grade.

She was completely without emotion during that concession speech. Her supporters are very emotional about her historic run at presidency, yet she talks like (what my spouse says) a robot. And she talked like the speech was almost rehearsed, though I wouldn't think it would be. She just lost after very much planning to win. It's very emotional. I expected her to be at the very least - HUMAN.what dreams said:I'm not blaming her loss on sexism. I'm calling people out for expecting things of women they would never expect of men. If all you can say of her speech is that she didn't cry, you are completely incapable of hearing anything else she has to say.
For god's sake - John Boehner is a man cry-baby. If you want to take emotion to that extreme, well, there you have it. And we've seen Obama tear up. It's called being Human, has nothing to do with feminism.Post edited by Free on0 -

Of course she's fairly controlled in her emotional expression. Her decades in politics have shown her many examples of women who were brushed off as being "overwrought" or "too emotional" or, always the favourite, "shrill", for showing anything other than stoicism.Free said:

You guys want a younger version of Bernie? His name is Gavin Newsome and he's the Lt. Governor of California. Looks like a Ken doll and it wouldn't shock me one bit if he's the democratic nominee in 2020.looking to hear of the earth0

I felt very connected to her during her speech, as I do always when I listen to her. I cried for her courage, to have to stand up there and accept defeat and to encourage at least 1/4 of a pretty hopeless nation to remain hopeful. It was a very human moment for me.oftenreading said:

I'm sure it was hard for her to stand up there and admit defeat. I saw genuine emotion from her as she did it. However, I felt very little for her in that moment other than anger. Anger at her, anger at her campaign, anger at the DNC, anger at the entire Democratic Party. This was their failure and it has doomed us to Donald Trump.
I blame Trump voters most of all. Establishment Democrats are running a close second.___________________________________________

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/305499-huffpo-dnc-staffer-screams-at-donna-brazile-for-helping-elect
Screaming DNC staffer blames Donna Brazile for Trump win: reportBrazile was addressing about 150 staffers in their first meeting since Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday's election when a staffer, identified as "Zach," stood up.
“Why should we trust you as chair to lead us through this? You backed a flawed candidate, and your friend [former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz] plotted through this to support your own gain and yourself,” he said, according to the report.
Zach faced boos and calls to sit down as he continued.
“You are part of the problem. You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to die from climate change. You and your friends let this happen, which is going to cut 40 years off my life expectancy,” he added.
Brazile declined to tell the Huffington Post more about the incident, saying that “as you can imagine, the individual involved is a member for the staff and I personally do not wish to discuss our internal meetings."
A DNC official told The Hill that despite the exchange, Brazile received overwhelming support from the majority of the staff who applauded her positive message.
The official added that Brazile attempted to have a dialogue with the disgruntled staffer, who abruptly left the room.
Brazile became the interim DNC chairwoman in July, when Wasserman Schultz stepped down after leaked emails posted by WikiLeaks showed DNC officials plotting to help Clinton top Sen. Bernie Sanders in the party's presidential primary.
Brazile has faced controversies of her own, after leak emails appeared to show her leaking debate questions to Clinton in advance. Brazile strongly denied the accusations, saying she had no access to debate materials prior to the contest.0 -
The entire Clinton regime needs to be swapped out. Much easier said than done, I understand. But without new talent and new ideas at the top we will not see anything different in 2020.___________________________________________

I felt anger at the campaign, too. I wanted to spit on Podesta and Huma-whatever-her-name-is, wondering how they could still be sitting there with the crap they were involved in. But then when Kaine spoke to introduce her, so much finally made sense to me. He spoke very eloquently of her deep sense of loyalty, that it was her most precious human quality. To me, it explains why she stood by her philandering husband and why she didn't fire the people who messed up and why people who actually know her like her and trust her. To the rest of the world, her loyalty is seen as a flaw, and it did cost her and us the election, so I don't know how to reconcile the anger with the understanding. I'm working on that. It's like studying a Greek tragedy, I swear.JimmyV said:I'm sure it was hard for her to stand up there and admit defeat. I saw genuine emotion from her as she did it.

Maybe instead of wanting to spit on someone before hearing them out would be some good advice.what dreams said:

I hear you. For me Tim Kaine made it worse. I don't think he added anything to the ticket and listening to him talk hammered that home. Was a reminder of all the missteps and mistakes.what dreams said:
