Stupid woman

While I agree with almost everything she said, unless he was there in an "official" capacity, I don't think starbucks is an appropriate venue to harass him over it.

But if he's just trying to get an overpriced terrible coffee, then he has a right to do so without people shouting at him.

Your view was brought to my attention by someone else privately. Point well taken.

...although i don't hold it against her for what she did. It's not often you get to speak your mind to power. Sometimes you're so pissed you just say fuck it. Sometimes protesting isn't comfortable or convenient.

I would say that, as Governor, if he is out mingling with the public it is in an official capacity. He has guards, lackeys, and others that could have ran in and got the coffee if he didn't want to be exposed to praise (or criticism).

It may also have been the only venue available, ever, to that lady to say something to him. She could have protested outside his offices or complained via email, but those things are easily ignored. Now if she had thrown something or attacked him, I would say it wasn't appropriate.

Yeah, that's a fair point from both you and @eric3579.

I'm just not entirely comfortable with the concept that any public figure is 100% available just because they happen to be in public.

To me, it's the same as a musician or movie star being able to walk down the street without being harassed for autographs or selfies.

I can understand that, we all have our own levels.

My thing is -- would you be so admiring of this behavior if you liked the person being yelled at?

Because sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.

She could have SPOKEN to power. She chose to YELL to power.

And I agree with everything she said. I just don't think it helps our society to disagree with each other like this.

It certainly isn't going to win over hearts and minds. This is like shock and awe by George W. Feels good, feels like you have power. But you aren't doing anything to change things. In fact, it can make things worse, drive us further apart.

If she had just spoken with clarity. Cut him to ribbons with clarity.

Yes.

To clarify, I personally don't agree with what the woman is saying (except for the women's care portion). I don't like obamacare and I don't have a solid like or dislike for the governor she was speaking to.

However, I do admire her willingness to tell her elected official what she thinks. Could she have said it calmer, yes, but sometimes anger gets the best of us.

While not exactly admirable, it was her only chance to tell him all that face to sleazy face. So I personally cheer for her.

On the other hand what is the point of telling him all this, I mean does he not know all this about himself already?

He made a fortune on health care (some of it fraud, out of court settlement) and endorses Trump. Sleaze personified.

I know of one or two local politicians I might freak out over like that. And then I can think of many more local politicians who I would heartily disagree with over a beer yet have no reason to freak out ever, because they are respectable people, unlike this dressed up piece of... whatever.

Perhaps it's not the best to ask "Who here has a great job?" while sitting in a Starbucks...

Perhaps that's the point.

But musicians or movie stars aren't the ones cutting your health care while politicians are personally responsible for things that affect your everyday life.
