[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 81630, member: 35"] The key is to distinguish the valid points from the ones that can be disputed. Her campaign strategy in the swing states, for example, is disputed by people who were there and claim their warnings went unheeded. She's also quick to dismiss her progressive opponents as sexists, even though most of them only disagree with her on policy. She claims Bernie both stole her ideas [I]and[/I] was too far left, but you can't have it both ways. She equates his criticisms about her policy record and paid Wall Street speeches with personal attacks, even though they're not the same thing. She blames Bernie for Trump's "crooked Hillary" attack, even though Trump made up dumb names for all of his opponents. So there is indeed a great amount of disingenuous bullshit being pumped out in her book, and my pointing that out is not enough to qualify me as a knee jerk reactionary. On the other hand, I've also said that her point about the Trump team's numerous dealings with Russia is certainly indisputable. It's also plausible that there was an understanding between Putin and Trump in regards to election meddling. I also agreed with Hillary over Jane Pauley in regards to the "basket of deplorables" comment having no bearing on her election loss. She was never going to win them over, and she distinguished between the deplorables and those hurting economically. Therefore, I feel I have been even handed towards her. She's made a few valid points, but that doesn't mean [I]everything[/I] she says is valid or undisputed. She doesn't give a damn what [I]progressives[/I] think about her, but then she stopped giving a damn about us once she sided with her donors. Her book panders to establishment elites in Washington DC and the media, as well as her SJW/identity politics-loving fan base. They love it, and are convinced that it's an accurate depiction of reality. [/QUOTE]
