Hillary's book is really pressing people's buttons isn't it?

How dare she be honest in her feelings and bring up the stuff she had to go through - all the way back to the 90s.

I just pre-ordered it and look forward to sharing her path with her again.

That doesn't seem to be going very well for them. I love the fact she is being who she is and doing what she wants to. Every little whiny assed baby can go to their corner and cry.

Yeah, I still haven't got over my anger...not happening anytime soon.

when i objected to one of these posters telling me she should go away. That got me steaming. We have an accomplished woman who tirelessly worked for decades to advance democratic causes and serve her country. But no, she is out of place or may be too old. Whatever it is, its outrageous to even suggest she should not participate in the public discourse.

But it's expressed as "that cackle," and "she feels entitled to be in charge," and "she's unfit."

spot on...that is exactly how I'm feeling...this anger is not going away any time fast...I don't need a bunch of dudes telling us that the most awesome woman needs to shut the fuck up, but bernie can say any bullshit thing he wants about the dems...so not happening without push back.

Not to mention lots of people will see what we really missed out on when the election was stolen from her.

and I keep hearing it. Also, can we remember it hasn't even been a year since the election and it's all still raw and fresh for some of us? People NEED to hear what she has to say.

And the haters are still mad that she won't crumble. I hope they see her name in the papers and on the news every freaking day for years.

after the primary, from those now saying, "she's being divisive, and if she doesn't shut up, we're going to lose the 2018 mid-terms!!"

She's criticized for laying low since the election.
She's criticized for speaking out now.
She's criticized for 'losing' an election that she got millions more votes in and it was hacked by Russians etc.

'SHE LOST' - no she didn't - she was robbed - hell, we all were

AND she beat the guy they swear would've beaten 45 - but that's different somehow.
