And if you watched the hearing, she used the same email format as Colin Powell.

It’s the hypocrisy that bothers me. Roast anyone who is out of line, either party, but instead they take a stance of overinflating things like jeans and the tan suit and then ignore serious indiscretions and illegal activity on the right.

They literally changed the rules on email storage while she was the Secretary of State, then crucified her for not migrating quickly enough.

In 20 years they still haven't managed to get a fucking star on everyone's driver's licenses so they can ride in an airplane, but she didn't migrate tech systems fast enough and she should be in prison I guess?

I think her shit was more secure than a signal chat where you add a reporter.

It’s wasn’t even signal. It was a clone that decrypts server side and logs all the messages for “data retention compliance”.

They shut down soon after. So, who the fucking fuck knows were those logs are now.

But what really matters here?

Is it if she actually has the most secure storage or is it more about what people thought about this situation?

But it's super effective and I don't understand why people on the left don't realize this is what it takes to win right now. Until the culture changes, this is how you do it. But it feels like the left are just lagging behind.

Walz broke that a little, freely calling people dipshits and poking at Vance with Reddit rhetoric. But it didn’t win so they likely won’t roll it out again.

It looks like their main strategy is to roll Buttigieg out in increments as their new face.

Meanwhile, Bernie and AOC are going their own way.

Walz was great. Dems are fucking idiots
