The former secretary of state accuses today's youth of not understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict. This is a symptom of her limited imperial imagination
2016 was awful...it was like choosing between breaking some ribs or a breaking a femur. It was going to suck no matter what. Turns out the femur break was a compound fracture that had gangrene set in.
In retrospect do I wish she had won? Yes. Definitely. On the other hand, that might have meant a 2020 Trump victory.
Unless she really embraced the progressive wing of the party and really moved the country forward in terms of resolving home ownership, income stagnation, or health care in an impactful way, I can't imagine her getting a second term.
I voted for her, but i seriously held my nose while doing it. I volunteered for Obama, but i didn't for Hilary. I was demotivated by the polls saying she was a sure thing, and by me seriously not liking her as a person and many of her political positions. She was obviously way better than Trump, but man was she a crappy candidate.
The amount this woman fails to grasp, morally or otherwise, is truly astounding. I still blame her for Trump's win, and wished they'd both just fuck off already.
Don't place the blame on her. Blame the dumb fuck primary voters. Or the dumb fucks who couldn't be bothered to vote in the primary and then bitched about their shitty choice.
EDIT: Amazing the twists people will go through to excuse dumb ass voters.
Hillary “I’m friends with Henry Kissinger” Clinton is utterly divorced from reality.
Hillary “I only started supporting gay marriage when it started polling well in 2012 but still got the endorsement from an organization one of my campaign team folks was head of” Clinton’s seemingly unlimited hubris is one of the primary reasons this country now has the precursor Supreme Court to Handmaid’s Tale and 4 years of Trump that helped indirectly lead to many of the preventable deaths of the 1,000,000 people who died from COVID.
Literally any other Democrat with less baggage than her could’ve beaten Trump… but the goddamn neo-liberals who got rich during Bill Clinton’s era deregulating shit and passing labor-decimating shit like NAFTA were salivating at another chance for trying to coronate her and boosted the ever loving shit out of her due to their pants-shitting fear of a slightly more left-leaning president being elected into office.
…And then Hillary “I was a Goldwater girl” Clinton’s campaign actively Pied-Piper’d Trump because they were convinced he would be the easiest to beat (he would have been were it anyone but her) and also knew that she would lose to almost any other Republican nominee.
Hillary “I think I should maybe run again in 2028” Clinton can “Pokémon go…” fuck herself.
If she ever had any goddamn sense, she would have fucked off after losing to Obama. Right then she should just have fucked back off to Arkansas and lived out the rest of her life being a shitty fucking grandma and would have stopped actively making the world worse through her stubborn need to be in the public eye. But I guess if she did that, she wouldn’t be Hillary “I sat on the board at WalMart for years and years and helped to gut small businesses all across the American countryside” Clinton.
Yeah, we don't need the take of the one who elevated Trump in the primaries and then sucked enough in the general to let him within cheating distance of the white house.
It really is astonishing how bad her political instincts are. A large majority of her party disapproves of what Israel is doing to Gaza, but she chooses now to call the protesters ignorant? A group of young progressives Biden will probably need in order to win? Who is this for?
Honestly, I'm not even mad about the stupid shit she says anymore, I'm fascinated. Does she know she's politically irrelevant going forward, so she's just on some sort of bitter, scorched-Earth tirade? Is the party encouraging her to say crap like this as some sort of testing ground for unpopular messaging? Or does she really just this detached from public opinion?
If she didn't decide to dedicate her life to shitting on progressives then Bernie probably would be finishing up his second term and the country would be 19% less stupid
Watch them blame leftists again when they lose and proceed to shift the entire party even more right. Because if more people voted Republican that must mean people wanted the Democrats to be more right wing!
