2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe recording of Hillary about Sanders' supporters is GOOD. What's wrong with it?
I know I know. They are going to try to say she was calling them "basement dwellers." No, she was expressing that many were living at home and having a hard time in the economy and so a campaign like Bernie's would be appealing. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT??
She gets it! ANOTHER BIG TRUMP FAIL!

(2,897 posts)There have been so many instance of Clinton Derangement Syndrome throughout this election. Yes, she makes gaffes from time to time like all politician. However, if there is something that can be nitpicked in a statement ("half" , it's going to nitpicked by the media, the right, and sadly, the left as well.

(23,367 posts)The tone struck me as somehow condescending and the content as not necessarily accurate. Upon rereading, I think it's fine.

(1,060 posts)I'm actually very discouraged by your first reaction because you know that's the kind of reaction
a lot of people with inherent distrust for Clinton (because of manufactured BS like this for 30 years) will think.
How is it not accurate, probably know 30 cases like that personally!
If someone here can have this reaction,it's going to be another 7 days of shit over another nothing, while Trump runs scot free murdering reality with crap.
meh!

(23,367 posts)It occurred to me that way initially. Then I read again and read more and it didn't occur to me that way. I don't expect that much at all will come of this.

(257 posts)To me, it made Hillary sound human and understanding about millennials.
I personally know six millennials who live with their parents. Only one lives the basement which is pretty damn nice because the parents have a very nice McMansion. The others just simply live at home with the parents because it's cheaper and they are struggling to succeed in school or at work and trying to save some money.
Thanks for posting this.

Ms. Joy's ratings sky rocket because she confronts the lies.
