Still wondering what they mean by “she was right”?
Was it about normalizing relations with Russia?
Was she right about Iraq?
Was she right to promote Trump as a candidate?
Was she right when she suggested drone striking whistle blowers?
Was she right when she said Mubarak’s governemnt was stable?
Was she right about Haiti?
was she right about her strategy to beat trump in her election campaign?
Was she right about Libya?
Right-wing? Yes.
You lost the easiest election in living memory.
As much as i loath HC I dont think we can pretend that wasnt largely a misogyny issue, its not like large swathes were being super principled and thats why she lost.
Do not underestimate how much people hate women.
Was it a woman issue? I feel like I did not get that from the election cycle at all. If anything large swaths of the populace thought she would be generally competent as president. She won the popular vote after all. If anything she lost because of her own pied piper strategy.
Was it a woman issue?
Eh, its non-zero but i think its dwarfed by every unforced error she made. She had baggage to a degree i don’t think any candidate has ever had. People in the US had hated her for over 20 years. The only people who thought she was a good candidate were people who relied on the Clinton’s vast patronage network.
The cottage industry of Hillary hate on the US right had a lot to do with sexism, but the hate could never have become as large as it was if not for her truely unique talent of making any attack or challenge 100x worse (i.e. I’m not baking cookies, deplorables, etc.)
It’s impossible to quantify, but Obama got two terms despite prevalent anti-black racism. It was an uphill fight, sure, but it shows that an appealing candidate can overcome general discrimination.
If anything, Hillary should have had an easier time than Obama since the black vote is only 18% of the population whereas the female vote is 50%.
She somehow ended up losing the white female vote to Mr Grab’em By The P*say.
I think that would be more valid if she was less terrible and fucked up her campaign as much. It was a factor but I can’t tell over how much she sucks.
i honestly don’t think sexism really had much to do with her being entirely insufferable
She got more votes than Trump, didn’t she?

“You were right about everything” is a common phrase she hears from all the sycophants sucking up to her because literally everyone in her circles in doing some form of networking. It’s literally like that scene from Andor with all the political movers and shakers greasing each other up with utter bullshit.
I really liked that side episode from the Mandalorian, where a bunch of rich fuckers basically said, “Ehh, Republic, Empire, New Republic, who gives a shit? Stonks are up!”
I fucking hate that episode because its complete fucking bullshit that basically suggests the rebel alliance and the fall of the empire was basically meaningless and robs the original trilogy of all meaning and significance.
Basically all the sequel stuff suggests that the fall of the Empire was meaningless. It only took 30 years for new bad guys to come along and behave exactly like the Empire, because Disney are creatively bankrupt
And at the same time, the sequels are so mismanaged that the best they could do for theme park food was the blue milk
Yeah your right of course. I don’t disagree it’s perfectly in sync with current continuity… I just really don’t like it.

The idea that a successful rebellion and coup detat of the empire wouldn’t have ended with a massive purge of the imperial officer class and its wealthy collaborators sounds like the most liberal brainwormed shit imaginable to me TBH.
Like ok sure: it makes sense to me that within the new Republic you would probably have influential figures who successfully downplayed their involvement and/or up sold what they could contribute to the new government enough that they were given a pass after renouncing the empire. I also believe and like the idea that many of these individuals publicly renounced the empire but either privately still agreed with it ideologically or straight up didn’t have an ideology beyond maintaining raw naked wealth and power.
… but FFS I simply just do not accept that you would be comfortable saying that shit out loud in public on the fucking floor of the senate. Privately half jokingly saying it at one of your corellian wine tasting parties or whatever is one thing…but these guys should/would be terrified of getting tarred and feathered out in public or having their career ruined because they are exposed as imperial apologists.
Using this to peddle shitty merch
She’s become him
Behold I have become Drumph. peddler of merch.
I’ve never seen someone this brain broken. The election has consumed her entire personality. It’ll be 2030 and she’ll still talk about it.
Tbf It’ll be 2030 and I’ll still be mad she got to pretend to be the competent candidate and we all just had to accept it.
By 2030 you’d think she’d be dead of old age by then
She’ll live longer than Kissinger just to punish us

82 would be pretty young for a rich person to go
Just imagine for a moment if China or the DPRK had their leaders on mugs and t-shirts, selling tons of merch. Imagine how we would be presented with this as an example of how dystopian and awful they are.

I have a Mao shirt my wife bought me in China and a Mao sticker and a Mao pin. And she got me an og Little Red Book. But it’s not like Mao sold it to her.
Yeah, that’s more what I meant. There is merchandise with their faces on it, but it’s not like Mao is the one selling them to people.
libs are fucking disgusting. Stormy Daniels was basically coerced into sex with the absolutely repulsive trump, harassed etc. but they are just getting off on trump being convicted because he’s the great evil threatening “US DEMOCRACY” as if that ever existed.
Its like dumbass your husband is a pedophile, a rapist and you backed him up. excuse me while i go puke my guts out. hillary clinton is absolutely vile
a phrase I hear a lot
Hilldog, if you’re hearing people say “she was right about everything”, they’re obviously not talking about you.
fuck yeah stillwithher. Slay kween, light herself, etc etc.
I can’t believe nobody has commented on the corporate clipart style of the mug. I hate everything about this, text included but that seems almost self aware.
It’s a picture of her drinking from a plain mug too. Which is weird.
a mug having a picture of a mug on it is very bad
The mug in the picture should at least also be the mug being advertised so it can be an infinite image.
… And you still lost to him.
She should run again so I can watch her eat shit a third time.
world’s most undeservedly smug person

That is the cheapest-looking mug I’ve ever seen

It’ll be funny when the grift machine keeps running after her death, like that Herman Cain tweet.
That is the cheapest-looking mug I’ve ever seen
Excuse me, sir. This is as perfect as a mug can get for brunch.

I do love the libs still salivating over her luke warm take from 8 years ago.
