Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s fascinating to hear just how many problems there were with Hillary Clinton‘s campaign. I still can‘t believe how she managed to lose to a reality TV president. #politics #elections #audiobook

This book is a lot more nuanced, complex & interesting than you‘d suspect from the excerpting. It deepened my respect for Clinton. My complicated conclusion from it: she‘s resilient, dedicated, tough, worked as hard as humanly possible, was dealt a terrible unfair hand (Russia, sexism, hacking), made grave strategic errors and ultimately was just the wrong candidate for this populist moment. The headwinds of history were against her.

I was reading this book on the 2016 Clinton campaign with total objective detachment until I got to the day of the Election and suddenly started to tear up. This line about the glass ceiling ... 😢

I am reading this book because it was recommended by an ardent Sanders supporter on a liberal blog. It is interesting, but I'm not convinced yet that the Clinton campaign is nearly as dysfunctional as the Trump administration. #audiobook #politics #2016election

Shattered is exactly how I feel after reading this! An incredibly well researched and written exploration of what went wrong in HRC's bid for the White House.

This book is so utterly depressing.

Killing time while waiting for the boyfriend to come home by starting my new book. (Pretty sure this one is going to break my heart.)

One of the (rare, few) joys of freelancing is when multiple paydays converge on your (empty) bank account. Today, I had a rare triple payday...and happened to be near Barnes and Noble! 😊

I LOVE campaign books. I find behind scenes decision making of events we've all "observed" fascinating. I'm bothered by process of book though. Everyone is anonymous & 2 active reporters saved their best & most informative stuff from readers in order to profit off them for a book. That said it's a look into a true wtf result that shocked everyone. If you watch the Sunday shows or The Circus this book will be catnip for you.

EMILY'S LIST isn't just about abortion rights. They are about getting liberal women elected to office. I would think the authors would know this.
