(3,181 posts)I don't give anyone who abuses their subordinates a pass.

(85,996 posts)...looks to me like nonsense that just happened to surface right as Amy Klobuchar is set to run, much like the other media-celebrated scandals that have greeted the other women declaring in this race.
Watch the announcement, if you're interested.

(3,181 posts)It's just that I would like to have leaders that allow their values to guide their interactions with those around them. I believe Amy is that type of person, or at least that's what I would like to hear.

Issues which directly affect me.

I'm not going to be diverted by media-fueled nonsense like this.
More to the point, I'm not so paralyzed by this media-celebrated story that I need to spend this important moment obsessing on it.

Supporters of Sen. Amy Klobuchar showing up in big numbers on a festive and quintessential Minnesota winter day to support her 2020 presidential announcement on Boom Island in Mpls. Yes, even showing up on cross country skis...

(11,631 posts)Sorry lest anyone take it the wrong way, this is my attempt to make light of what I think are bullshit and un-sourced allegations based in sexism. I do not believe we would hear a male candidate criticized in an article based on anonymous sources for being a mean boss.
I'm a big fan of Amy, I think she exudes sincerity and authenticity. She's definitely in my top 3 or 4 candidates who I may vote for in the Illinois primary next spring.
