She’s so terrible. Like why does she even speak to the media? Lady shut the fuck up. You literally ruined the country with your hegemonic wet dream.

Fucking loser.

[–] [email protected] 91 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What I read here is 'go fuck yourself, this is our government and we will appoint whoever we want and you will like it.'

She just needs to STFU

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 months ago

That is consistent with the party's messaging from 2015-present, yes.

The lady's strategy was to prop up Trump and lost to him. I don't care about her opinions at all. I didn't forget she went around calling Black People Super Predators.

The Clinton's get a lot of heat for that, but it was literally Joe Biden's bill...

This protestor asked her about it at a fundraiser https://youtu.be/MN6iwqthZrU

Voters to Clinton: "Go Away! It's your fault we're in this mess to begin with."

Hillary says something stupid, everyone continues to not care what the fuck Hillary thinks about anything.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (4 children)

The amount of visceral anger in this thread seems to indicate that people seem to actually care quite a lot about what she says.

If people actually didn't care, they wouldn't have clicked on this.

If she had got over herself, Sanders would be in his second term

[–] [email protected] 55 points 5 months ago (1 children)

She’s right, but she still needs to fuck off permanently. She’s not helping.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean, she's right and wrong at the same time.

People shouldn't have to get over it, but Democrats don't give a shit what voters want. They are using Trump as the big bad monster to force the candidates that they want, not the ones that the people want or deserve.

Biden would likely lose against any other candidate, the only reason he might win is because Trump is so terrible. They're exploiting their voters to get what they want.

Iirc, she was touring public housing with a NY housing group. I'm assuming it was a photo op thing and the plants in the sink threw her off. People forget the Clinton's are dems from Arkansas. They're neoliberals, but from a state so poor they actually want public programs.

I like to shit on her, but she was a damn capable politician. I don't know anymore after 30 years of republican propaganda making sure everyone hated her. No one is immune to propaganda, but bitches get stuff done.

People forget the Clinton’s are dems from Arkansas. They’re neoliberals, but from a state so poor they actually want public programs.

And Hillary's father was a business owner in Chicago... And that's where she grew up. She moved to Arkansas after Yale.

She just acts like a Southerner as a PR move. As illustrated by people still thinking she was a poor girl from Arkansas when she lived a life of privilege before going to one of the best schools on the continent.

Now, Bills family wasn't well off.

But Hillary didn't marry him for money, she saw a smart charismatic man who would do well in politics and hitched her wagon to him.

She was already pretty well off.

Should have gotten over Bernie being more popular instead of having to collude with the DNC to win a fake primary

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

Listening to him speak today makes me both hopeful that he's still fighting for us, but sad for what could have been. He's one of a handful of politicians that understands and cares about the true issues facing the US, and he articulates those issues so perfectly: https://youtu.be/8C2iyUmHeag?si=Gu9ZnbWWSVKvMSsQ

That's rich coming from the woman who proped up and helped fund Trump. Shes more responsible for him than any single voter could be.

I wish she would just go away.

Stop giving this woman attention

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Shut up and do what we tell you! This is what’s good for the corporate ruling class! You have the illusion of choice we give you, so go and vote for the two terrible choices we have given you and be happy.

You can't expect a sitting President to not re-run for office. Of course Biden is going to run.

In Trump's mind, and in the minds of a lot of his supporters, he is the "rightful" sitting President, so of course he's going to run too.

Are they the BEST choices? Of course not. But they are THE choices.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (39 children)

Well… yeah you can. Why can’t you?

Pokemon Go fuck yourself.

Ah TheHill. Born in the fires of 2016, raised on a steady diet of normalization and sailing smoothly into the new clicky horse race as some kind of established outlet.

Well, kudos, I guess. You are, in fact, still around. So. Yeah.

Such a nasty woman.

We need to vote D, but her opinion is not relevant to anything and the media should not be reporting on it. She and her neoliberal support system in the DNC have caused so much damage.

Yeah, not helpful in any way.

I don't think anything can top my favorite Hillary moment ever. I still regularly laugh until I cry when I watch it. It hurts so good.

Hillary Clinton's "help" can only be a detriment.

Yes Madam Never President. NPOTUS if you will

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I was told in no uncertain terms by someone on the fediverse that you're not allowed to complain about something everyone chooses. We just have to put on a smile, eat our shitty meal, and pretend we like it.

Yay democracy.

Clinton is reportedly set to host a Broadway-themed fundraiser with “Hamilton” star Lin-Manuel Miranda on Wednesday.

Another sign that Hillary is forever stuck in 2016 lol. Will corporate Dems ever move on from milking Hamilton dry?
