Doesn't really sound like she's making fun of them, to me. I'm not going to sit and listen to a 40 minute long shitty quality recording to get her tone though. (Like was someone literally sitting on a microphone or what?)
it's a hacked cellphone
was released earlier this week
the original politico lede/tweet was some hot fucking garbage as well - said how she "mocked" sanders supporters

It's definitely something that a politician would never publicly say on purpose, because telling someone "You're wrong, but I think I understand why" is a minefield at the best of times. There are several phrases in there that are blunt enough that I wouldn't blame a Bernie voter for hearing them and thinking "Hey, fuck you, Secretary Clinton."
But it sounds like she honestly gets why I voted for Sanders in my state's primary, and she's going to need to talk a hell of a lot of our generation out of the Johnson camp if she's going to go into election day with a comfortable lead. I hope young liberals don't get their backs up over that leak. Hillary Clinton is not our enemy, and fucking Gary Johnson is absolutely not our ally.

she didn't even say they were wrong to want these things. at best you could argue she said they were wrong to not accept incremental improvement with eyes on a long term goal.
I don't see anywhere that said that. Just that a lot of entry levels jobs like barista do not offer and real advancement because in this economy the managers and higher-ups aren't inclined to leave their positions any time soon. So your "career" is basically sixty cents more per hour each year. And we're talking college graduates, so yeah, I can see why they wouldn't be keen on incremental improvement in a job that that they took on immense student debt to avoid having to work in the first place.
Fuck, college was supposed to be the goddamn "incremental improvement" for the long term goal. To hell with anyone that says "Oh, they just want X job and not slowly work at it for a number of years."
Everybody who’s ever been in an election that I’m aware of is quite bewildered because there is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates. And on the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel.
I admit I laughed at the part about Scandinavia.

In defense of baristas, the question of what Scandinavia means is p. complicated.
An unrelenting Russian and Syrian blitz of eastern Aleppo heavily damaged one of the city’s three remaining hospitals on Saturday, as Moscow warned that any American attempts to stop its assault would lead to “frightening tectonic shifts in the Middle East”.
The Russian raids struck at least five areas of the opposition-held half of the city, which is bracing for a ground assault by Shia forces allied to the Syrian regime. Syrian helicopters are believed to be responsible for the strike on the M10 hospital, which has left those who remain in the east with next to no access to essential healthcare.
In the recordings, which were published by the New York Times, Kerry is heard saying: “We are trying to pursue the diplomacy and I understand it’s frustrating. You have no one more frustrated than we are.” He said that the US had no legal justification for attacking the Assad regime, while Russia had been invited to join the conflict on behalf of the Syrian leader.
"What Trump has got to understand, he's got to sing either, 'I got to be me' or he's got to order a new song, 'I've got to be President.' They're not the same song. He's got to become much more disciplined," Gingrich said in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity.
"I really hope this is a wakeup call for him. Quit tweeting without somebody looking over your shoulder, don't ever tweet late at night and prepare to really study and get ready for a serious debate because ... this next debate is going to be very important for how people judge him," he continued.

The whole 3am tweet thing drives me crazy, because I feel like people are missing the context that it wasn't just a 3am tweet.
It was him tweeting multiple times from like 1am to 5am or something, about the same damn thing, which was obviously eating away at him so fucking badly he couldn't help himself.
The problem isn't that he tweets at 3am, it's that some gotcha'd him and it drove him so mad that he was up all night fuming.

What Trump and his surrogates hear, think, and say: "Fuck those losers."

and, to be frank, that's not incorrect.
Motherfucker, they just did that.

Russia warns US not to intervene as hospital is hit in latest Aleppo blitz
blowing up the hospital is pretty brazen, though.
I kinda wish everyone would self-designate so readily
As soon as you said that, a Google image search term popped into my head, and it did not disappoint.
I mean, obviously I'm deeply disappointed in just everything and everyone now, but I immediately found what I was looking for. Good job, Google.

If it had been pacific, someone in DC would have been up at 6 a.m. to call and tell him to put down his phone
The subject would be shitty no matter the time
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
fucking war boys
warring fuckbois

fearless, reckless, bottomless
The time is just indicative of his lack of impulse control
Oof, comparing her to Janeway. I wouldn't even compare Trump to Janeway.
What's so bad about Janeway?
But I havent watched much Star Trek to confirm or deny.
Huh maybe that Riker tweet does have a point

this is a response that most likely arises from the unreasonable standards placed on female leaders (both in fiction and reality)
relevant, really
