Schumer had one question: Is Bernie coming?

110. Her unlikeability is really bewildering to me..

.. and confirms why I dislike "Likability" ratings but the up and downs over the years are due to a blend of sexism, her dislike of the press, unrelenting RW attacks against her and her inability to nip silly "Scandals" in the bud. And she often does things that result in terrible optics ( even if those optics are largely BS and unfair) I've only now appreciated this year how micro-analysed she's been to the level of dehumanization - the silly pneumonia hysteria in September is an example of this..

her flaws aren't any greater than her peers but are judged that way .The two main things people cry about are the Lying and flipflopping.... and really? she hasn't flipflopped more than Obama and look at his approval ratings. She also isn't the greatest speaker but when engaging with people one to one she is fantastic and "real". She is subversive in many ways, but not tackling the shit thrown at her has allowed her enemies to shape a false narrative of her. Her charm doesn't translate well and she has a personal dislike of "likability politics" which she sees as empty pandering. She's also arrogant but who in politics isn't to some extent? ...Her approval ratings were above water before announcing her intent to run, and then the Republicans began their BS witch hunts and after sustained attacks from everywhere ( including the left), she was dragged to the level of Trump.
