(58,785 posts)A quick count of her latest twitters posts at least shows more speaking out against Republicans than bashing Democrats. Whatever her usual pattern, she's impressive and she is speaking out and fighting.
Her top retweet is for the newly issued results of the Clinton-Sanders committee to reform the primary process. As a member of the mainstream Democratic base, I'm glad that the reforms agreed to are sensible ones I want, and that they specifically won't allow hostiles from right or left to flood in and vote.
Not sure she realilzes that as she imagines "the grassroots" will have to force the DNC to "do its work," but I'm glad she's happy with what they've put together. There are compromises. I wanted us to call for states to eliminate the caucuses which are very unrepresentative at best and too easily hijacked by factions, but they are calling for states to allow mail-in votes to caucuses.
