[boston bean]

11. Very nice.

[RockaFowler]

12. Yes it was

It made my day

As a member of the media today makes my skin crawl.

[slumcamper]

13. Frankly, this makes me want to vomit.

TYVM for the pep talk, HRC. But folks, this overweeningly courteous thought represents the past. This nicey-nice, conventional party line BS cost us our future!

WE LOST OUR ASS--literally and metaphorically.

While I wish our politics were civil and conducive to progress spewing like a multicolored fountain by virtue of the public embrace of such polite decorum, it isn't. The polite party line failed--"BIGLY."

Wake the hell up, Democrats! It's time to take the kid gloves off and meet our opponents in the street. Discard the niceties and prepare for civil and political WAR.

3 lanterns should burn in your mind. We are in a fight for the soul and future of our nation.

And haters, go ahead and hate. Whatever--I love you. Get real.

[boston bean]

14. Go away.

34. That was written to Boston. It was definitely not for your post.

[slumcamper]

30. Sorry--I'm here to stay, Boston.

I apologize for offending your delicate sensibilities, but we lost our ass. That is not fake news. And a party now searching for its soul and flailing desperately to cling to the progressive gains of the past century cannot rely on the political courtesy or the conventional protocols of politics as usual. This is one Democrat who has been forced by reality to swallow some hard truths. Nice talk will get us nowhere in connecting with people who cast votes. Get real.

[nikibatts]

36. No we didn't! Some of you may have "lost your ass" but actually Dems picked up seats in both

Houses. We won the popular vote by 4M. We worked our asses off but some did not VOTE their asses off. i don't want you to go anywhere but just respect the many HRC supporters who worked their asses off. Yes, we lost the Electoral vote...the red state vote and two purple states who now wish they had either voted or voted for Hillary. We are all sorry for the loss but we know how to lose with dignity and rise again with intensity and persistence. We are still stronger together! It's not about "nice talk" it's about decency and civility.

And now it is about more hard work and UNITY! We can be diverse and unified at the same time. No one part of us has all the answers but together we can have mutually beneficial solutions. We don't have to even get those die hard 45 supporters. We have and can do it with genuine Democrats with genuine motives and genuine compassion for others. We have done it before and we can do it again!

[boston bean]

37. Thank you nikkibats!

[bdamomma]

45. Hear Hear!!!

[Lotusflower70]

54. We actually did

We lost the Senate and never had the House but look at all the Governorships lost. There is a huge imbalance of power across the country. We have a lot to learn and a lot of work to do.

[nikibatts]

63. Yes, we lost but we picked up seats in both Houses and won the popular vote.

Governors are a business we need to focus on more and turn out the vote. The GOP wins when we stay home for whatever reason. They won at least two purple states and one red state because Hillary haters either sat home or voted third party.

[Lotusflower70]

69. I understand that

But our losses outnumbered the gains, that's why the power balance has shifted. We definitely need to work the grassroots and ground game. 2018 is very important. Staying on a clear message and unity needs to be emphasized.

[LiberalLovinLug]

67. "And now it is about more hard work and UNITY! "

"We can be diverse and unified at the same time. No one part of us has all the answers but together we can have mutually beneficial solutions."

I think what slumcamper is tapping into is from an honest but angry place. Fact is, we need both approaches. As you said, no one part of us has all the answers. Hillary herself saying how the Democrat party is very diverse. We need Hillary as a statesperson presence to show this kind of leadership. To calmly explain why Democrats are peoples best option. And we need other prominent Dems to continue to also be spokepeople explaining patiently the ethical, and frankly logical, reasons why they should be voting Democrat.

The problem is that that approach was the only approach prior to this election. Mainly because Obama was elected and then re-elected without having to take the gloves off. Thing have changed, to say the least.

We now need a two pronged weapon. We also need to tap into that anger and passion of many of us including slumcamper and harness it into organized resistance. To confront reps at town halls, to march, to write letters. To be as much, or more, of a thorn in the side of the federal government as the Tea Party was to Obama. Keep reminding folks what a vile corrupt POTUS he is as well as his cronies. And do it in a loud non-polite way. To the point of civil disobedience.

Some are better at the former, some the latter. Hillary is doing what she does best, reminding America of what a real President should sound like, intelligent, rational, and compassionate, and that is needed badly as well.

47. It's been awhile since I put someone on ignore

but you definitely qualify for my (small) ignore list. Buyeee!

[Laurian]

22. How disrespectful to a woman who has spent her life working for the common good.

We need everybody, including Hillary.

26. +10,000

[boston bean]

29. Just Hillary hate. It knows no bounds. Sad really.

Know what I mean??

[joshcryer]

24. What part of "resistance and persistance" did you not hear in that video?

She is calling for the very thing you speak of. But you let the Republican fueled hatred for anything and everything good skew your viewpoint, it's really discouraging.

[Skittles]

32. you make me want to vomit

also, please look up the definition of the word LITERALLY

[murielm99]

33. What boston bean said.

[okieinpain]

38. sadly, this post is very real and gets to the point. n/t.

[Jakes Progress]

65. Which your post doesn't.

[okieinpain]

68. Disagree. I didn't need to say anything because

the original post covered it all.

[Jakes Progress]

70. So.

Nothing to say. But saying nothing anyway.
Obtuse isn't a good way to go. Your post could be taken as supporting or attacking the OP.

[LibraLiz1973]

40. Your post is vomit worthy for sure

Take your negativity and shove it.
You aren't a Democrat.

[nolabear]

44. You can be strong without being a hate monger.

She has every right to encourage people and to be inclusive. You can stand firm and work hard without becoming what they are in a different suit. What do you want to do? Serious question. What does taking off the gloves look like?

[sheshe2]

53. Could you have put this someplace else?

Start an OP. There is a time and place for everything and THIS WAS NOT IT!

[Jakes Progress]

64. Frankly, this kind of ignorance gave us trump.

It was people who think like you that let trump take take the election.

Or maybe that was what you wanted and work for. Your manner and diction bely a hasty pass at the keyboard.

Won't work.

[Gothmog]

15. Hillary Clinton did a great job here

[ProudProgressiveNow]

17. LOved it... nt

[BeckyDem]

18. Fabulous! The timing is perfect, it's great she is a part of the next step, the vote for

DNC Chair is coming any day and we are off and running people!!!!! 2018. Beautifully said, Hillary, we are counting on you too!

[Ilsa]

19. Awesome. Great to see her! NT

[bdamomma]

46. really nice to see her

[LoveMyCali]

20. This makes my heart hurt

We were robbed of the opportunity to see what would happen with this smart, strong and gracious woman leading us.

[triron]

21. CNN just played first part of that speech

[Cha]

62. Thank you, triron

[triron]

23. knr

[butdiduvote]

27. This made me cry hours ago, and I'm still crying

I'm glad she's doing what she can to reach out to us, but she should be in a position of doing so much more. Fuck everyone who didn't vote for her.

[kydo]

28. This is so not right! Can she at least be our shadow president?

That is what we were supposed to have. A smart, caring, inspiring person to lead our country. Instead we got a cheesy puff, and that's his best quality. Puffy and cheesy.


If she leads I will follow. I with her, still. She is the true President.

[rogue emissary]

31. Didn't realize how much I needed that. knr

[secondwind]

35. I have mixed feelings... I really do appreciate HRC and what she means to our Party, but I want the

gloves off, also.

No more Mr. Nice Guy.

[boston bean]

39. U want her to sound like trump? LOL

[nikibatts]

49. I just went to her Twitter and thanked her for her message.

43. I can't describe how happy this makes me!

It's not lost. It's dinged badly but not lost.

And it'll drive that fuckweasel crazy.

[NastyRiffraff]

48. I'm tearing up again

about what this country missed. Thanks for posting, boston bean. Hillary is lovely.

[JHan]

52. Such a breath of fresh air, a Presidential Politician with a solid grasp of grammar ...

and can form coherent sentences.

[sheshe2]

55. +1000 Boston.

Thank you for posting Hills words. She is with us!

[Lotusflower70]

56. Alrighty then

She will inspire some and disgusting others. It's inevitable. The wounds from the election and divide in the Democratic party is still there.

[underthematrix]

57. HRC looks like just like the President of the United States

People something is happening and I don't quite understand it but something is happening.
