Forget This “Hillary Is Unlikable” Stuff. Hillary Is Downright Inspiring.:
why-im-with-her:
I am not saying Hillary deserves credit just for showing up and getting
the job done. I am saying she deserves credit for showing up and getting
the job done while a psychopath invaded her personal space, lied repeatedly,
attempted to degrade her in the basest and vilest terms, and threatened
to jail her for the crime of being a successful woman in the public
eye. Nor am I saying that we all ought to live up to Hillary’s example:
Crying and despairing are a completely reasonable response to being
attacked and denigrated by a sexist pig. Not all of us have the guts
and, yes, stamina to endure and overcome what Hillary is enduring and
overcoming in this election. But that’s the point: Hillary has displayed
superhuman strength in the face of disgusting, unfair, and false
attacks on her character and judgment. If that’s not inspiring, I don’t
know what is.
