Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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.

[–] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 93 points 7 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

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 44 points 7 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.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 30 points 7 months ago

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

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

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."

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 70 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social 7 points 7 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

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 56 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 13 points 7 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.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 35 points 7 months ago

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

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 12 points 7 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

She's really good at attacking the base, and seemingly not wanting to win over any votes.

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (5 children)

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.

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.

Stop giving this woman attention

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Minotaur@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago (39 children)

Well… yeah you can. Why can’t you?

"You know what would help? For me to wade in." -Hillary Clinton, for some reason

Pokemon Go fuck yourself.

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 13 points 7 months ago

Wow. Tone deaf much?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Such a nasty woman.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

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.

"Stop caring and you won't care anymore"

Yeah, not helpful in any way.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 7 months ago

Hey Hilary. Fuck off and shut up. Fuck Israel.

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

"Having said all that, why aren't I 50 points ahead?" - Hillary

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago (4 children)

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.

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?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Yes Madam Never President. NPOTUS if you will

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 7 points 7 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.
