politics

It's a little sad because decades of right-wing anti-Hillary propaganda not only proved effective, but it noticeably altered Hillary into this jaded cynic completely lacking in vision or idealism. I'm not a huge Hillary fan, but the vast majority of the hate is completely manufactured outrage. That being said it doesn't change what you said being valid.

You can see them trying with AOC, but I suspect it won't yield the same results.

They're always going to fuck up. That's what they do. Most of them belong in retirement communities yet for whatever reason think they have what it takes to run a government. They're disconnected from reality yet expect to appeal to regular people, who have to suffer in the reality they've created?

Expect more shitshows.

When she called them deplorables they ate it up. She just needs to not stick her nose in.

It’s even a little on the nose that this is coming from Hillary. I’m worried that they’re falling into the same intellectually and politically bankrupt trap as in 2016, that they’re aware that they don’t have a meaningful platform besides “we’re not republicans”, and that they’ve somehow convinced themselves that this is enough.

The irony is that... progressives absolutely do have a solid platform that people generally support. by people, I'm excluding Hilary's and Biden's Corporate Donors. Sorry, I don't have to respect Citizens United.

It's not an accident. The country is moving left, and the right-wing Democrats are afraid of losing control of the party. They almost did, twice. They don't take the "the other guy is Hitler" rhetoric seriously, themselves. They aren't worried about losing their power if the Republicans win the Whitehouse, or even both branches of Congress, because it's all one big club, and they won't be kicked out, as long as they go along to get along, but they are terrified that a leftist rise will take the reigns of the Democratic party from them, and then they really will be out of power.

The thing those people don't understand is that they think democracy is a goal onto itself, instead of a means to an end. A good chunk of the population would happily get rid of democracy in order to have someone in power 'who can just get stuff done'. Especially since said democracy is ridiculously unresponsive to the will of the people.

Compare the polling on the Gaza conflict compared to what members in the house are saying, for example. Or any other super popular thing (legalising weed, taxing the wealthy, not running a global empire that constantly gets involved in wars,...)

And, for the record, Hillary, Hitler never got over 50% of the vote, it was other, so-called democratic parties that gave him the Chancellor job. They could've created a different governing coalition, but they thought they could control him.

You're welcome to try, but it might take awhile....

An email recently released by the whistleblowing organization WikiLeaks shows how the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party bear direct responsibility for propelling the bigoted billionaire to the White House.

In its self-described “pied piper” strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new “mainstream of the Republican Party” in order to try to increase Clinton’s chances of winning.

Ah, the real reason people hate WikiLeaks. It exposed the truth, but rather than focus on the truth people focused on the messenger.

Hilarious mistake.

I suppose this would have been effective if even a fraction of the Republican voterbase was reasonable.

Yeah, I don't want to see or hear about Hilary Clinton anymore. She pushed her way in and fucking lost to Trump.

Remember when they rigged the primaries and were like “yeah, we can do whatever we want. This isn’t the REAL election yet!” And then they never got court time? Do we really have a choice on who to vote for?

I hear you. What she said is correct. The thing is, this person is so unlikeable that there's no way she can help. No matter how sharp you are, or how good of an elected official you'll be (and I do think she would have been extremely good at her job if she was elected (I did vote for her)), you must have charisma to be effective in politics.

I honestly believe in my heart that if she paid millions for widespread TV ads with her saying "do not vote for Donald Trump" it would help him.

"matches that of Heinrich Himmler", you mean the head of the SS and one of the main people behind the holocaust?

Have you ever considered that your life, and life in general would be better if you didn't have such absurd and shrill opinions?

It was the most tragic thing when Bernie was pushed aside in favour of H.Clinton, who polled very poorly.

Yes, she is.

Hitler was never elected lol. He in fact got crushed in the popular election by 20% by Hindenburg.

The Nazi party, however, won the largest number of seats of any party in the Reichstag in 1932, but leftist seats actually had a larger representation, just split between different parties.

This scared the oligarchal industry types enough that they pressured President Hindenburg into appointing Hitler as Chancellor over a less... Contentious candidate. Then a bunch of Nazi shit happened, the "centrists" did what they always do and supported the seizure of power by fascists, and two years later Chancellor Hitler became Chancellor and President Hitler, all without winning a population election.

What she should have said is that Hitler was duly appointed. By a massive fucking loser and coward who probably jerked off thinking about how he helped Germany start and lose two World Wars.
