A Letter to America About the Need for Decent Political Discourse
From Hillary’s Emails
Dear America,
Like many of you, I watched the first presidential debate with a hint of vomit in my throat. It was called everything from a circus to a dumpster fire, but the one thing it wasn’t called was presidential. I know presidential because I used to see it every day when Hills signed her emails to Chelsea Future President Hillary Clinton. Back in my day, we were considering a serious woman for top brass and Jake Tapper’s face didn’t look like somebody served him a shitshow for breakfast.
Admit it. You’re just a smidge nostalgic for the days when we focused on immaterial distractions like Hills using her Yahoo to ask Al Gore to lay low for a bit. Put down that printout of Trump’s tax returns and let momma give you a hug. It’s time to come back to Hillary’s emails.
I know. In 2016, you just wished I’d quietly go away. I thought about it, but then I thought ‘When will email ever be this important again?’ I had a responsibility to all the LinkedIn announcements and monthly newsletters to shine. So, I decided to see things through on behalf of email everywhere. Then, Trump gets elected and all the Republicans insisting I was the most important thing since Benghazi tossed me aside like a Chris Christie endorsement.
