I never really had an opinion about Chelsea Clinton, one way or another, but after reading that email I respect her.
- MicroBerto 11y agoIt was incredibly well-written. Much respect to her. You can tell that she is the kind of person that demands action and hates any kind of BS. Very business like. This is also why you should always write emails assuming they're public record. Because one day... They just might be!
- hueving 11y agoIt was quite 'over-written', if that's even a term. The sentences were very dense with long compound sentences. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I feel like it's a failure on her part to drown the reader in text with a low readability score that isn't even jargon.
- gizmo686 11y agoIn fairness to her, her preamble explicitly stated that it was written hastily and without revision, and she did explicitly ask that, if it was to be shared, her name not be attached to it.
- SixSigma 11y ago> As is often said, if I had more time - and less emotion - I would have written a shorter letter.

- branchless 11y agoGo American democracy! What a joke...
- Gustomaximus 11y agoThe longer emails, like this and many others, feel seeded for history. They give me the impression they are written knowing they will be made public down the track. As though they're trying to establish a good record/history for future political work. E.g. Happy to be the invisible soldier type lines. Maybe I'm just jaded with the politicians of today...
- Mtinie 11y agoI figured she just drafted that email while sitting in her hotel room after a particularly trying day, or on the flight home. It's easy for me to get into a flow when I've got an uninterrupted stretch of time. Maybe she's the same way.
