171. If only I could put your last two paragraphs in my sig line!

But more to the point, I, for one, am a bit piqued at attempts to tamp down any MENTION that the nomination of Hillary Clinton is a BIG F-CKING DEAL, to quote Joe Biden. This is a massive event in American electoral politics. It is an event worthy of CELEBRATION. HRC did it twice as good, "backwards and in high heels" to get half the credit--and the surliness and churlishness of a small number here who refuse to acknowledge that yes, this IS a big deal, and YES, this IS a massive game-changing moment in American politics--just as the nomination of Barack Obama was--is troubling to me. It makes me wonder how "liberal" some of our membership actually is (though more often than not, this kind of denigration comes from low post count members who often do not last long here--another "good thing&quot .

There's much about the Presidency that is both aspirational and symbolic--and the enthusiasm of some to crush and negate that aspect of Clinton's candidacy makes me go "Hmmmmm."
