12. Luna, Effie, and others, WHY with all your attention to politics do you not realize

that NOW is not always the time for everything in politics?

Every day as Hillary examines the news, she has to decide WHETHER it would be useful to make a statement or less. Who would be helped and who not. What ripples, what effects?

Observers can avoid constant clueless frustration by paying less attention to the corrupt bobbleheads on the screen and more to the politicians and other figures who make things happen. They're pros, and there's as much to know to do this job well as there is in any other profession, and the consequences for those operating at the national level far larger.

18. Hortensis, perhaps I misread the OP. I thought it meant that people complain when Hillary speaks

and they complain when she doesn't. That they will bash her regardless.

Did I misunderstood? I completely agree with what you are saying. I trust that Hillary knows when to speak, and when to stay quiet. I trust her judgement. I'm sorry I got it all wrong

She’s not running for office any more. Don’t need to answer any of her critics

...on the latest threads. She just tweeted that Congress
(Republicans) have just failed, for the first time, to reauthorize The Children's
Health Insurance Program. She is staying involved and fighting the good fight,
despite all the abuse directed her way.

kids will die. Let me just send another giant fuck you to all Greens, protest voters, those who stayed home, those who voted for a gorilla and those imbeciles who voted for Trump...also to those who grudgingly voted for Hillary (or so they say) after spending months attacking her online and encouraging others not to vote for her...A GIANT FUCK YOU.

love them some GOP one would have to conclude since they never call them out on anything...must be a very entitled sort...those who can vote their 'conscience' have little to lose with a Trump presidency or so they think...they should check their privilege. We all lose when GOP types are elected...thanks for Gorsuch...sarcasm.

How many left/progressive/liberal Senators serving in office have said nothing?

First they want HRC to shut up and then they want her to say something. It makes no sense. Maybe she's focused on the millions of American children who lost CHIP coverage.

Eh? It's a new purity test for me.
