I appreciate how hard you’ve worked for this country for the past five decades.
I hope this finds you well. I’ve been meaning to write you for a while. I was thinking of you again today and I guess I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you.
I appreciate what you accomplished this year.
I appreciate your dignity in the face of the most undignified behaviour.
I appreciate the seriousness with which you took the prospect of leading our nation.
I appreciate the campaign of diversity, equality, and shared strength you ran with such grace.
I appreciate you reminding the United States of America that it is already great. Continue reading →
Hillary Clinton lost the November election because she blew off Sanders activists and voters
The anger among Sanders backers by the time of the convention at the end of July was palpable.
By Dave Lindorff – December 21, 2016 – | Op-Ed – Nation of Change
The incredible “group-think” that has seen the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, President Obama, the Clinton campaign and most of the corporate media braying that Vladimir Putin scandalously upended American democracy and threw the election to his favored candidate Donald Trump is based on a ludicrous premise. That premise: that the election went Trump’s way because several tens of thousands of voters in a few states – Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – switched away from Clinton to Trump because of an alleged (and factually unproven) Russian “hack” of Democratic National Committee and of Hillary campaign chair John Podesta’s emails.

Why it is so hard for a woman to become President of the USA
Uri Friedman –The Atlantic
Hillary Clinton
There is no one reason — no finite number of reasons — why Hillary Clinton lost the U.S.A. presidential election. No amount of poring over polls will tell us the precise degree to which bias against women influenced the vote. What we do know is this: The United States of America still doesn’t have a female leader, as it hasn’t for the last 227 years. America remains outside the club of 67 nations, out of 144 surveyed countries, that have had a female prime minister, a female president, or both over the last 50 years, according to the World Economic Forum’s latest study on the gender gap in politics.
In many of these countries, women haven’t remained in power for long — in some cases for just days or months. Since 1966, only 33 countries have had a female leader for four years or more. Continue reading →

Analysis: Obama the Avenger and His Vendetta Against Trump and the GOP
The First Family is exacting revenge on the candidate who led the Birther movement and the party that tormented them for the past eight years.
– Chemi Shalev – Haaretz
Barack Obama is fired up and ready to go. He flies around from political rally to donors’ events, stirring crowds, encouraging Democrats and enthusing voters with the intense rhetoric of a Baptist preacher. He pushes his audiences not only to vote but to take others with them, not only to support Hillary Clinton but to achieve victory for Democrats all down the line. And that’s before we even mention his wife, the breakout mega-superstar of the election season who will hold her first joint appearance with Clinton in North Carolina on Thursday.
There’s never been a presidential family that has committed itself so totally and unequivocally in favour of their party’s presidential contender and, in Donald Trump’s case, against the rival party’s candidate. Continue reading →
Donald Trump Roasts Hillary Clinton At 2016 Al Smith Dinner
Published on Oct 20, 2016
After earning hearty laughs for many of his early jokes at the annual Al Smith dinner, Donald Trump appeared to lose the crowd as he crossed the line from jokes to deeply personal insults aimed at rival Hillary Clinton. Trump was repeatedly booed when he described Clinton as corrupt and latched onto information contained in hacked emails from her staff. That included a hit on Clinton for “pretending” not to hate Catholics as she sits at a Catholic charity event.

Michelle Obama has Dragged This USA Elections Out of the Gutter
Anne Perkins – The Guardian UK
Michelle Obama may have done the seemingly impossible. She may just have rescued the USA elections from the grotesque and demeaning mire into which they have descended. She did something even more remarkable, and just as badly needed. With the touch of a poet, her speech last night, shamed the tat and the tawdry of populism and held out the possibility of something better. She lent her extraordinary ability to say what people are feeling to every English-speaking woman in the world.
Nominally, she spoke for Hillary Clinton at a run-of-the-mill political rally. In fact she made a passionate and clear-eyed appeal for decency and respect in public life. Clinton’s Republican rival Donald Trump did not get a single mention, but he was in every word of every sentence. It was one of the most sustained put-downs in modern democratic politics.

US presidential debate: Trump launches ferocious attack on Clintons
