Please go away, get out of public life and stop "helping."
Being a dick to people is not going to get them to vote your way. Same with the 'deplorables' comment. I agreed with her on it, but it was a stupid thing to say in an election.
I think the deplorables comment would have been fine if they did try to cowardly walk it back immediately after in the typical miquetoast, 'cater to everyone' Democratic fashion.
"Cater to everyone but the left"
It wouldn't have. That's when I knew we were screwed.
Maybe they wouldn't have thought they had to if they could have counted on the left for any of the energy coming up with reasons why them not voting is everyone else's fault.
The white left being shocked and outraged that they in fact do not get to call themselves the base when they have to be dragged kicking and screaming by their hair just to get into a poll booth, never mind to not be a fucking moron and vote green or some shit, never ceases to amaze me.
The Tea Party are the Republican base because they don't have to be convinced to show up for the general you entitled fucking morons.
Oh right, when you're running in a popularity contest and lose, it's the fault of the people voting not your own. The fact that she couldn't even be more appealing than a known conman, failed businessman, and reality TV host with zero political experience really says a lot.
Rather than calling us names how about making material compromises with us?
Explain something to me. How can you simultaneously believe we don't vote but care that we don't vote? Biden won the 2020 general election so if we didn't vote for him then who cares if we won't vote for him in 2024?
So which is it?
Yes, it’s like she took notes from her husband, but isn’t Smooth Willy enough to pull it off. I think it’s because deep down, she is just a bitch.
South Park said it best: "my wife is a crazy bitch."
I’m still convinced that only person insufferable enough to lose to Donald fucking Trump in 2016 was Hillary Clinton.
You can hate it all you want but in some level it’s a popularity contest and she is utterly utterly unlikeable.
Her smarmy q&a with those millennials was a fucking PR nightmare.
Lewis Black said her problem was that she never went away. I’d say that’s pretty spot on. Shitheads wants attention, wants to be important. Maybe if she’d given the public a break and then came back for a second act it would have been different for her. But we’re still in act one and it never ends.
