  • Yeah she is unfairly dismissed. It’s easier to pick holes in her style of politics and PR than the content of her beliefs or policy proposals so that’s what happens.

    The concentration camp comment did wind people up though. She didn’t say these camps are like concentration camps, she called them concentration camps. I suppose she made this distinction deliberately. When I heard her say that I though ‘oh, this is a shame, she’s going for the shock language’ as to me it is all part of the race to the bottom in US political discourse that Trump and Gorka etc love.

    Do I blame her, expect different or think she has anything but good intentions... no.

    Only a problem for people who conflate "concentration camp" and "death camp". OK, so there's a lot of them around.

  • I agree except I’d argue it’s a problem for us all (not just the offended) when we dilute the language of holocaust atrocities.
