“We are the first generation in half a century to give our daughters a country with fewer rights than we had,” she tells the Women for Biden crowd a few minutes later. “Book bans. Voting laws gutted. Court decisions that strip away our most basic freedoms. But circumstance is not destiny.” The women here are fighting mad.

Power dynamics.

There’s a version of political power that operates the way a motorcade does—slicing through empty roads, flouting rules, making regular folks wait behind barricades. And there’s a version of political power as Jill Biden embodies it, and as she expressed it at the Women for Biden event in Bloomington. This is power from the ground up, built on listening and coalition building. “They underestimate our power because they don’t understand it,” the first lady told the crowd. “They see our empathy and compassion as a vulnerability. But we know they’re what give us the clarity to fight for what’s right.” And in so doing, chip away at the hard problems. That’s the gig. Negotiate, reconsider your assumptions, and sometimes, agree to disagree, agree to lose. Only a tyrant would say otherwise.

In this case: listening, ignoring what everyone around you is saying, and losing.

Power is when you constantly give your enemies everything they ask for without receiving anything in return

How she can honestly think that after having Obama make all the other candidates drop out during the 2020 primary, is black-pilling me

Folks, you need to listen up and build a coalition behind Joe, otherwise we’re going to have a problem

Probably not but we’ll find out what quirky things she’s into eventually. My bet is she’s trying to be the girlbossceo type not an “America’s mom” like Nancy.
