Monica Lewinsky Is God's Gift to Twitter
Lewinsky, who has been a quiet force on Twitter since 2014, is recently rocking the sphere, claiming her voice in a very public forum after having been very publicly vilified—albeit before the age of social media. On Twitter, Lewinsky is a kind neighbor and saucy best friend. She dishes on challah recipes. She polls the Twitter abyss on what car she should get: “So very me. Can’t decide between a Subaru or a Tesla.” (It prompted a reply from Elon Musk saying that he’d be happy to give her one, and that she could return it if she wasn’t happy with it.) She’s a girl’s girl. Who knew? The social media platform provides a glimpse into a person who had been rendered as a flat surface for decades by the media. “I lived as a one-dimensional, mutated character for a very long time but I love that people connect to me on social media through these kinds of things,” she tells Vogue over the phone. “And when people connect for other reasons, it quiets those instances.”
Lewinsky seems Twitter-seasoned and breezy: Her banner image reads “Grateful AF.” in slate blue font on a millennial pink background. A segment of her bio reads “ex-beret model,” a reference to an infamous of picture of the young Lewinsky beaming and posing with former President Bill Clinton where she was wearing, yes, a beret. She has just shy of 1 million followers.
But her foray into social media wasn’t an easy one. She says that she was terrified about the prospect of joining the platform. It wasn’t until she spoke about the effects of bullying at a 30 Under 30 conference in 2014 that Forbes chief content officer Randall Lane convinced her to register. “He said ‘Listen, you can’t take up this crusade around online shaming, and online bullying, and these things, if you’re not really in the conversation and you’re just sort of chiming in from the sidelines,’” she says. “And he suggested that I publicly join Twitter.”

I really admire this woman; she went through hell and came out on the other side in a positive, impactful way.

from. 
And you are absolutely correct in that she and Bill did tremendous damage to our party and liberal politics. Their actions also affected both Gore's and Hillary's candidacies for President. Remember that Gore could have easily won in 2000, avoiding the Florida debacle entirely, had he allowed Clinton to campaign for him as Clinton wished to.
But he didn't. and I blame that decision primarily on his running mater, the turncoat traitor Joe Lieberman.
But the worst culprits were Newt Gingrich and his crazies. And, to me, they always will be.
That's the bottom line. 
And some of us can put it into perspective in 2020.
She has moved on, probably with a shitload of therapy. Oh, but no, she needs to be regretful and beating herself up for the rest of her life?
Good lawd. 
But feel free to keep kicking my thread!
