Hillary Clinton embodied almost everything wrong with the Democratic establishment and Bernie probably was the better option but man Hillary’s unpopularity was for the STUPIDEST FUCKING SHIT

Same as the price of eggs narrative in 2024. The right controls all the media and the Dems never even try to counter it

I don't think people didn't like her because she was "cringe one time," I think that was just the convenient excuse. I think they were misogynist assholes. But that's my interpretation, maybe people really hated neoliberalism.

her loss was the ultimate payoff for the 25 year long ceaseless hate campaign the right leveled against her that started when bill ran for president

Neither one of them would’ve been my first choice and yet I would crawl through broken glass to vote for either.

I remember one hardcore Hillary hater who kept on telling everyone in 2016: “don’t you know she’s married to a r@pist? Do you want that in the Oval Office?” After the election, he told me “she should’ve been more like Bill. I actually liked him!”

I honestly don't think Bernie was a better option. He himself maybe, but then you'd also get the entire admin to be run by Brianna Grey Joy and her pack of grifters in the package. It would make Sullivan and Garland look like statesmen.

On the question of who would have been the better president, Hillary just had a much better track record at actually governing imho. But ultimately she was unpopular and had a scandal brewing that would only cement her unpopularity. And like, end of day, winning against Trump was most important.

I find any populist politician electorally very frustrating because anti-establishment messages resonate with voters very well but that’s because it can produce a rainbow coalition of people who want to tear it all down but no consensus as how to replace it with something better.

I honestly don't think he would have won. Sure, he is a guy and that mattered probably the most, but he's also someone who couldn't even get democrats to vote for him, so...

we must be the pokemon sword and pokemon shield of democracy and not stop until we make the rivers run pokemon ruby red with the blood of those who seek to imprison people in the pokemon mystery dungeon

Wait isn't this because Herman Cain did the Pokémon movie lyric quotes?
