2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe idea that Chelsea Clinton should resign from
the Foundation is 50% sexism and 50% just because she is a Clinton.
Did anyone make a big deal out of the childish Bush daughter becoming a tv network personality?
Did anyone make a big deal of all the other Bushes scattered around the various family charitable institutions, etc.
I assume we will soon hear that it is okay for the Obama girls to get an education but they dare not use it.
Chelsea has a masters in Public Health and a Doctorate from Oxford. She was, and perhaps still is, teaching public health at Columbia or NYU. She has studied hard and worked hard to position herself to have an impact in the world through the foundation and CGI and yet the media, all Republicans, and some Democrats thinks she needs to go home, get barefoot and make more babies and cookies.
The MSNBC spokes-models have been blathering about this the past two days. They are morons and they should be ashamed, yet I know they are without capacity to feel shame.

iows - They (including people like Chris Jensen) are buying into the male dominated culture's view of what women are allowed to do and not do. No one would suggest that the son of a famous couple with even 1/4 the talent and brains as Chelsea should slink away into the night. Instead they would be giving him about ten million atta boys and celebrating that he will go very far because he is special.

(6,473 posts)The Clinton's are the poster boys but they aren't doing anything unethical or illegal under the law-what I'd like to see a legitimate debate on changing non-profit law including especially political and religious non-profits. That's a debate the Republicans don't want

Trump would have far more to worry about on the appearance scale if the media were truly fair. But they are trying hard to push the race closer rather than really cover the issues.

Chelsea took a lot of shit here during the primaries, too... Ignore it and move on

Why don't you go start an OP about something that is important to you so I can come insult you.
Suggesting that you ignore smears against Chelsea is not only "insulting" you, but sexist as well? I might also suggest you'd do well to chill the fuck out on a Friday and remember I'm not your enemy here, but I don't want you to take that the wrong way, too...
By all means, you spend as much mental energy on this as you please; I will not be standing in your way... Meanwhile, I'll be working once again this weekend to get voters registered and Dems elected locally.
Cheers.

No, Chelsea has no reason to resign. Stupid idea. But the media will continue its harping about it. damn.
