Maybe Clinton just totally sucks at selling her ideology, being "pragmatic" is a nice attribute, but its not a description of what you actually would want to do and should not be your main selling point. I doubt anyone is questioning that she is pragmatic. But she runs basically on "being pragmatic and like Obama but even more/better"... Well luckily for her neither the Dems nor Reps could push a truely good candidate, so it should be enough... quite true certainly. As a general trend of course, ideologues are less prone to compromising than pragmatists. Certainly compromising ideologues would be best. Clinton is definitely not as good as many at selling her ideology. Her policy command is excellent, but as "cheerleader-in-chief" which is one of the president's functions, she's quite poor. | ||

Also folks, can we use “women” when appropriate over “females”? I really don’t like thinking of you all as Ferengi. Just read your post out loud and if you sound like you would have the lobes for business, use woman instead. | ||

However, I am compelled to remind you of the 94th rule of acquisition. | ||

Her treatment of Greece is and has always been completely irrational. She expects the Greek to get out of the crisis by tightening their budget and then pay to the last euro their debt, which every economist says is not only stupid, but also completely unfeasible. I don't think we have one more dogmatic leader in Europe. | ||

I thought I was being liberal, but apparently I was implying that genders are binary, which made me transphobic. So yeah, difficult to judge what lingo to use these days. LMAO. I thought the whole point is that they want to be considered 100% female o.0 | ||

But then you get into queer and genderfluid and all that stuff and it becomes far more complicated. Transgender are the tip of the iceberg. But for trans people, there are two genders. The person was too interested in checking privilege to check facts. | ||
