- 17:27:12 Retweeted @geoffreyvs 17:09:44 Been watching the news & you won't believe this but Democrats think #Hillary will be a great candidate & Republicans think she'll fall flat.
- 17:40:20 Retweeted @SethAMandel 17:14:08 Biden should announce right now.
- 17:44:50 Hey everybody, maybe she meant noon West Coast time!
- 17:46:24 Can you imagine the freak out that would ensue if Clinton announces she decided not to run after all?
- 17:49:36 I've actually got cable news on at the moment. I don't know why I hurt myself this way. How about analysts who aren't partisan hacks please?

- 18:37:01 Retweeted @SamWangPhD 18:27:38 I make mistakes with data. But at least I start w/data! Journalists who don't even do that…it seems risky; errors are hidden from readers.
- 18:45:01 Retweeted @rubycramer 18:40:38 source: @johnpodesta email blast to @HillaryClinton campaign alumni just now. She's in, folks!"
- 18:51:58 Retweeted @nycsouthpaw 18:50:44 Hillary announced on Google Plus 7 hours ago. No one has noticed yet.
- 18:52:30 Retweeted @jbarro 18:50:03 I'd note, the Podesta email doesn't specify what Hillary is running for president of.
- 18:58:18 Retweeted @rubycramer 18:47:26 Here is the @johnpodesta email blast to donors types. http://t.co/PNpwRo1z7g
- 18:59:05 Retweeted @MichaelSkolnik 18:53:35 Is this "big announcement" that everyone was waiting for today? An email for Hillary's campaign chair? Odd, IMHO… https://t.co/OgmfxIY3wj
- 19:00:26 Retweeted @pbump 18:53:43 If that email was the announce, it is literally the most anti-climactic thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
- 19:09:01 Retweeted @jamespmanley 18:58:09 No formal kick off until next month? Back to my nap
- 19:12:47 Retweeted @poniewozik 19:00:09 Possibly the most stirring piece of American political rhetoric since Lincoln's Second Inaugural Message to Top Donors Through an Aide
- 19:13:57 Retweeted @MichaelSkolnik 19:01:54 If this is any indication of how the Hillary campaign will operate, they need to re-think things. Let Hillary lead and stop playing defense.
- 19:21:35 This non-announcement announcement is really odd. Team Hillary so far (not just today) just very rough. Need to get their act together.
- 19:25:34 Odd video too. Takes too long to get to HRC. But OK. Whatever. RT @amychozick: Clinton's video announcement is here: https://t.co/3e1OpEZUfG

- 20:35:31 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:34:29 People make jokes abt Hilary Clinton but don't realize they are demonizing her for the same traits they expect from men
- 20:38:24 .@AmyNotAmy Some for sure. Definitely. But most of the anti-Hillary folks say many of the same things about almost any Democrat. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:40:07 .@AmyNotAmy But just like Obama brought out all the semi-latent racist bias, Hillary will do much the same for gender biases. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:41:03 .@AmyNotAmy And activating fear of stereotypes turn out to be very effective politically. So you will see tons of it. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:41:16 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:39:54 .@abulsme that's probably because most republicans have huuuuge sticks up their butt and are scared of competition in reply to abulsme
- 20:42:29 .@AmyNotAmy The fear that is activated is fear of change and fear of difference. Very common, very powerful fears. Easy to exploit. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:42:37 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:41:33 .@abulsme I guess people just don't like it when figures from an oppressed group succeed in reply to abulsme
- 20:45:01 .@AmyNotAmy It isn't so much that, as distress caused by diifferences from what you are used to or expect & fear of losing your own power. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:45:11 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:44:38 .@abulsme Good point. Why grow as a society when we can just as easily continue to discriminate against women and non-whites??? in reply to abulsme
- 20:47:53 .@AmyNotAmy There are basic psych diff in pple. Some need strong continuity w/past. Others thrive on change. Core conflict in most politics. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:48:04 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:46:22 .@abulsme Well all of that power is derived from discrimination against anyone who isn't white or male and the continued discrimination…. in reply to abulsme
- 20:48:19 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:47:22 .@abulsme ….only fuels that power even more. It's easier for (white men) to have white men in power. If they lose that power, then they… in reply to abulsme
- 20:48:27 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:48:04 .@abulsme …will have to start working harder to get things they were previously handed bc they have new competition. Does that make sense? in reply to abulsme
- 20:50:05 .@AmyNotAmy Of course. The flip side of change vs continuity is that is always linked with people who have advantages wanting to keep them. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:50:13 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:50:03 @abulsme Well the ppl who aren't comfortable w/change should go live on an island and leave the adults alone to thrive and evolve in reply to abulsme
- 20:51:18 .@AmyNotAmy And honestly, you would have to be nuts to NOT want to hold on to your advantages for you and your children to some degree. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:52:35 .@AmyNotAmy This is natural and part of life. I pay for your school, not strangers who might actually need it more. Question is how much. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:54:11 .@AmyNotAmy I am often uncomfortable with change. But recognize some is helpful and necessary. But that island still sounds nice. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:54:27 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:53:01 @abulsme I just think equality much more important than my personal psyche and how I handle change. If change is needed, it should happen. in reply to abulsme
- 20:56:49 .@AmyNotAmy The key is don't assume pple on other side are acting out of malice or hate. Most do not. Just have diff priorities & values. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:57:00 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:55:19 @abulsme Which is what sets u apart from all the ppl with sticks up their butts. You don't put ur personal comforts above what's right. in reply to abulsme
- 20:58:10 .@AmyNotAmy Thank you. But that probably depends on the issue. :-) and on your view on what is "right", which is always debatable. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 20:58:25 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:58:17 @abulsme I don't assume malice, just that they're dumb and should understand what in their own minds drives them to want what they want in reply to abulsme
- 20:59:42 .@AmyNotAmy Assuming "dumb" also dangerous. Can have an intelligent & consistant worldview starting with different assumption & core values. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:01:26 .@AmyNotAmy Someone having core difference w/you on fundamental values not evidence of "dumb" just that starting from different assumptions. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:01:44 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 20:59:12 .@abulsme I knew you would mention that. I just ran out of characters and didn't want to break it up. :) in reply to abulsme
- 21:01:51 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 21:01:14 .@abulsme yeahhhhhh I guessssss but I think most people are just thinking on a surface level about why they feel the way they feel. in reply to abulsme
- 21:02:51 .@AmyNotAmy Yes. Almost always political decisions are made first at an emotional level, logical justifications come later. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:03:59 .@AmyNotAmy Thus the importance of psych base mindset. Plenty of evidence that political orientation might be tied closely to biology. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:05:07 .@AmyNotAmy So being a conservative or liberal might not be any more of a choice than being gay or straight. It is just how you were born. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:05:17 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 21:02:02 .@abulsme The ppl who can actually support their arguments with reason are fine, but I don't think most people actually do that in reply to abulsme
- 21:05:21 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 21:03:29 .@abulsme Which is why everything sucks and I am leaving America to start my own country in reply to abulsme
- 21:05:26 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 21:03:47 .@abulsme You can find my campaign on IndieGoGo in reply to abulsme
- 21:08:28 .@AmyNotAmy And as with most biological things, there will one day be pills you can take that will modify that part of how your body works. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:10:08 .@AmyNotAmy Not conservative enuf? Take the red pill! Not liberal enuf? Take the blue pill. Drug the water & keep ppl safely in the middle. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:10:16 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 21:05:54 @abulsme I'm thinking that probably has more to do with nurture than nature, though in reply to abulsme
- 21:11:32 .@AmyNotAmy As with most things it is always a mix. But there is growing evidence political orientation is STRONGLY leaning toward nature. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:13:30 .@AmyNotAmy Tempered by the fact that if you are liberally oriented in a conserv place or vice versa there is a STRONG incentive to conform. in reply to AmyNotAmy
- 21:13:37 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 21:06:12 .@abulsme that's a whole other discussion, though. I need to get back to my homework! in reply to abulsme
- 21:13:46 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 21:09:53 .@abulsme That's gonna be so cool. I'll take a pill to remove my anxiety and give me green eyes. <symbol> in reply to abulsme
