There’s nothing holding her back from being a great speaker like Obama. She needs more time and practice to develop her skills further to get to that next level. And maybe a better speechwriter.

I’m definitely a fan of hers, but felt that this could have been executed better. She did not have a lot of vocal variation and came out blazing fairly early on in the speech. Not going to rewatch it, but that was my perspective from last night. At one point I was like whoa Kimberly Guilfoyle, take it down a notch.

I do understand the need to be angry but it’s much more impactful when vocal variation, pitch, tone and volume are employed more effectively to build toward the anger.

Response because I can’t post to thread?

Yeah it was a solid debut but I’m excited for her to get better. Compare and contrast with Harris’ childhood friend and she obviously was better than that. It just doesn’t inspire me to make people watch it because I don’t think it was at that level.

To be fair, the news showed people straight up crying at Clinton’s speech and I didn’t think that was amazing either.

I’m wondering if it might be a good thing. You don’t want to give Trump more ammo to say that he lost because he was hacked and it was rigged. He’s doing a fine job of losing on his very own without the help.

Oh no honey. (I’m assuming I didn’t catch the /s)

Obviously it’s not true.

But -

Why is it shameful to have been an escort?

I’d like the Rs to answer that instead, as well as:

• Why is it shameful that people who have vaginas need tampons?
• Why is it acceptable to denigrate women who haven’t physically had children - no matter what the reason for that is? (The reason is no one’s business)
• Why is it acceptable to attack women who haven’t borne children and then deny IVF to the women who actually want to have them?
• Why is it acceptable to let the women who are trying to have children die or risk disability or risk infertility if they have a miscarriage for lack of access to abortion care? (Abortion is the treatment for miscarriage)
• Why do all of these chuds find it hilarious when they dress in the shittiest drag on the face of the planet, but want to ban talented artists from performing drag?

All of the answers seem to be that unless you fit the very narrow minded definition of what these people “deem” to be a “woman,” you should be shamed, abused and punished.

It seems to me that they don’t regard women or trans people as people with their own self determination, but instead as property or “less than” to be controlled and abused and punished as they see fit.

Oh they “let” R women have high profile jobs but they need to be either rich/powerful enough that they don’t dare try to denigrate them (see: Devos, Thomas) or completely compliant with whatever crazy direction the Heritage Society/Trump/Fundamentalist Christianity dictates.

Let’s not forget Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife Becky. It’s ok for her to go bang a pool boy outside the confines of “godly marriage” but only because that’s what HE wanted and only because it was secret. All of the students at Liberty University could barely date or talk to the opposite sex.

I’m so tired of the hypocrisy. Neighbours, you gotta get your house in order. It bleeds up here to Canada and now we have to deal with our own psychopaths who have been taking notes.

Oh it’s only a matter of time until he does this in public.

I read my (dementia/alzheimers) mother’s journals and they were full of “she’s just so angry” and “I don’t understand why her room is so messy” and “She’s lazy and won’t help with the family business, but I would have been happy to as a teenager.”

I’m like damn mom you were never given language to actually understand me.

Even my sister to this day goes: “Well now that you know you have it you can just come up with strategies to overcome it.” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I wish they would stop this:

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders affecting children and young adults, with about 10% of young people between the ages of 3 and 17 diagnosed with the condition.

What about women and inattentives who are usually diagnosed way into adulthood???

This makes it sound curable, temporary or like it only impacts young people.

Online literacy is really impacting boomers and elder gen x. Like QAnon or Covid Vaccines - some of them flip and just go psycho to the point it impacts their lives.

He could pay to go there. He’s all horny for space anyway. So go. Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

And you have that gross Stephen Miller dude on Ari Melber last night claiming that the fake electors were totally legitimate and just citizens practicing free speech being victimized by the government. He was screeching like a Karen about it.

Is your friend group maybe not as available because it’s all new love and stuff?

It is around that time where people start coupling up and getting married and having babies.

You’re gonna have some friends that you naturally drift apart from during this phase - especially with the babies.

I don’t want babies and this has been tough. I try to stay aware of how much energy I’m giving friendships where people don’t/can’t reciprocate. Even putting it out there and saying “hey! I’d love to hang out and plan a lunch in the next month with you. You seem super busy - can you let me know if there is a good time?” Put the focus on them. If they don’t let you know you have your answer not to sink more energy into it until their lives change. You don’t need to write anyone off - just shift your energy.

If you don’t want a partner stop caring how other people live their lives and what they’re doing. People change their minds all the time and also say things they don’t mean.

Something that helps me ground when I get mad about other peoples’ actions is that it’s not about me. It’s not about conversations they have had with me or promises they have made to me. I simply do not factor into the choices another person makes in their lives.
