The candidate who delivered Trump his first term, still doubling down on her "deplorables" strategy 7 years later.
For the love of all that is, that has been, and that will be, get out and vote. Hillary opened her fucking mouth and the last time she did this shit Trump won. Every Democrat should now be rushing to the polls. The cycle is trying to repeat.
She was the candidate with so little enthusiasm of the voters. That still lost to drumpf with almost 3 million more votes...
And with raiding the coffers of down ballot races by misrepresenting a "donation sharing scheme".
People were giving donations to state parties, who gave the vast majority to Hillary.
It didn't just hurt their races, it burnt bridges with lots of people who routinely donated to states and who knows when they'll start again.
She was willing to burn it out down to win because she knew it really was her last chance to be president.
Hell, she's the main reason Trump made it to the general because she was the only one she had a chance at beating.
I think Godwin's Law now dictates that she has already lost the 2024 Presidential Election.
Considering her accuracy with him, this should make everyone who cares about the nation worried.
Was she accurate when she instructed Dem media partners to elevate Trump by name with the strategy being that he'd be too extreme for the general election?
Was she accurate when she was taking a preemptive victory lap in Texas on election night 2016?

Are people seriously voting for trump? There is no reason other than authoritarianism. It's kinda disturbing.

I hate that there are so many Trump supporters on Lemmy.
Are there though? I haven't seen any so far, but they are a scourge ultimately.

As she defends neo-librealist neo-facism at home and neo-facists in Israel...
