IDGAF what hillary clinton has to say.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

There's that Al Franklen quote about Ted Cruz.

I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.

Reading this comment section made me realise I feel the same way about Hillary Clinton.

Fuck's sake, who gave her a mic?!

I know you're trying to help Hillary but for everyone's sake I think maybe just laying low until November is the play here.

I came here just to upvote this comment. Thank you.

STFU and please stay in your cave until after the election

Alright Hill-dawg... if you want to say something helpful please just get on stage and start talking about Benghazi and emails n' shit. The trumpanzees will lose their shit, and you can be a nice little lightning rod to redirect right wing hatred away from Harris.

Stop weighing in on current issues. No one wants to hear it.

Man. If 8 year old me had known that "political lightning rod" was a job my trajectory would have been VERY different

Oppression and autocracy that she partially enabled by thinking she could phone in her victory. She should just go away. Nobody wants to hear from her anymore.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think she phoned it in. She ran a campaign that was ineffective against DT because she assumed things like competence and experience mattered.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago

She couldn't be bothered to go to -- or even send staffers to -- Michigan. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547 Then repeat basically the same laziness with Pennsylvania and Wisoconson https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/trumps-road-to-victory/507203/ because she assumed the Rust Belt would just vote for her.

She demonstrably phoned it in.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 hours ago

Hillary please just shut up and keep doing your $60,000 speeches on Wall Street. No one will ever like you and you are poison for the Democratic Party

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 hours ago

I would thank her to fuck off into the sunset.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Shame she didn't feel the same way when she was running. Maybe she would have tried. Maybe she wouldn't have enabled Trump.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 hours ago

I'll never take this prison labor enthusiast seriously.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

Sit the fuck down Hillary! Nobody has ever wanted to hear from you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

That may be true but many people aren't turning up on election day to save democracy. They are turning up to vote to improve their material needs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Well that was ordered wrong i assume

Autocratic freedom or democratic oppression?
