this is a like a Family Feud question with "change hearts and _____" and Steve Harvey's looking for "minds" but Hillary Clinton says "give me 'laws'"

You'd think the policy wonk would at least offer one citation that considers how many of these activists act like that compared to the average person

Maybe if she had, she'd have realized that maybe it's the people weighing whether to miss work to vote that are more likely to stay home than this despised contingent of activists who probably make up a small minority of activists

I tried looking up my own citations to offer, but all I got on the first page of Google were studies breaking down ideas that are only tangentially related, like political extremes have more activists and vote more often.

officials in congress are basically professional beggars

house representatives spend the majority of their working hours hitting up wealthy donors for cash

the real payout to government officials is likely cozy private sector gigs after getting out of office and not the relatively trite campaign donations

wait so which one is real change :confused:

I don't expect politicians do a lot of volunteering, because obviously the ones that aren't corrupt would be there because that's where they think they can make the biggest change (first quote). However, the contradiction between these quotes suggests that some sections of her rhetoric are completely empty. If it isn't, it leaves me wondering why she doesn't go out and do volunteerism for a few months straight where the "real change" is herself right now like Jimmy Carter has done.

Clinton spent a lot of time around the house. She read Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels of friendship, becoming, and abandonment. She returned to the work of Henri Nouwen, a Dutch-born priest and theologian who wrote about his struggles with depression, spirituality, and loneliness. She consumed mystery novels: Louise Penny, Donna Leon, Charles Todd. She went to her granddaughter’s dance recital. She watched old episodes of “The Good Wife” and “Madam Secretary,” even if that seemed a little on the nose. She teared up watching Kate McKinnon on “Saturday Night Live” singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” (“I did my best, it wasn’t much . . .”) She went through scores of articles about Russian meddling, offshore “content farms,” Trump-family misadventures. “At times,” she writes, “I felt like C.I.A. agent Carrie Mathison on the TV show Homeland, desperately trying to get her arms around a sinister conspiracy and appearing more than a little frantic in the process.” She also spent time thinking about what she might do in the future, “so that the rest of my life wouldn’t be spent like Miss Havisham from Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations, rattling around my house obsessing over what might have been.” She has yet to settle on anything concrete, save for the conviction that she will never run for office again.

"Seems like you've been doing a lot of yoga?" CNN's Anderson Cooper asked during an interview organized as part of Clinton's What Happened book tour.

"Yes, I have," Clinton responded. "And alternate nostril breathing."

Cooper then asked Clinton to show him what the coping mechanism entailed.

"I would highly recommend it," Clinton started. "You are supposed to shut your eyes -- I don't want to shut my eyes on national television -- but you do hold [your nostril] and breathe through one, and you hold it and then you exhale to the other and you keep going."
