I love when libs try to defend her by saying criticism of her is because of sexism and not decades of foreign policy ghoulishness that they are completely ignorant of
there's just so much to be angry about, it's like she's some sort of apotheietic incarnation of the concept of Hypocrisy, like there's all this liberal outrage over Donald Trump "getting away with it" but she has gotten away with so much that just gets ignored
like the fucking pied piper campaign strategy shit, like, I just can't understand a reality where that being public knowledge isn't just a fucking political death sentence, especially in the context of the rabid Anti-Trumpism the Democrats/their media allies have cultivated. Like Trump is fucking Hitler, but nobody directs even a modicum of outrage to the person whose actual campaign went "HEY WHAT IF WE BOOST DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE HE"S A FUCKING FASCIST AND WE'LL WIN AGAINST THAT"???? What the infinite fucks. Like even if she won the election that is such a nakedly sociopathic strategy that literally gambled with the future of the entire world.
but nobody gives a shit! what the fuck! what the fucking hell!
Where's all the fucking leftie influencer twats like Hasan to make this shit into a target? Do they all have guns to their heads or does literally nobody really give a shit?
it breaks my brain
and then, to make it all worse, she lost the fucking election! She gambled against fascism with all our futures and lost! And nobody cares about this very clear cause and effect!
And the whole email server thing is a whole ass rant on its own, but reddit liberals are just like "buttery males!!!" and ignore... like literally everything about how the investigation actually played out
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
Trump is both an existential threat to democracy itself but also we must rely on the anti-democratic mechanism of the electoral college to defeat him in a handful of swing states representing the third most populous country on the planet.
Totally appropriate response to the threat of a fascist anti christ cheeto dictator project 2025 Christian nationalist orange covfefe drumpft
It's pragmatism honey. Maybe once you grow up, you'd understand how politics works. You can't have everything your young, naieve, spoiled brat heart wants. /S
Ah, yes. She's a spry 76 year-old.
Hear me out: Trump wins on November. Biden accepts defeat. Trump dies in December. Biden also resigns citing poor health reasons. Kamala becomes the first black female president, but only for a month. Hillary runs in 2028 and loses. America never has a white woman president. The end.
So who is president here from 2025-2028 then?
Here's how Bernie can still win
Ben Carson with the time machine.
This is close to my dream, but Kamala becomes president and the house makes Hilldawg her VP then allthe white liberals demand Kamala step down because it's Hillary's time finally
When people told me they hated Hillary Clinton or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Hillary Clinton. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”
I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to her, or Clinton’s fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories. I wish I had said, flatly, “I love her.” As if I had been asked about my mother or daughter. No defensiveness or polemics; not dignifying the crazy allegations with so much as a Snopes link.
Maybe “I love her” seemed too womany, too sentimental, too un-pragmatic. Not coalition-building, kind of culty. But people say with impunity they love Obama, the state of ["]Israel["], their churches, Kurt Cobain. In the end, I wish I’d said it because it’s true.
And I’m not alone in my commitment. Millions of Clinton’s supporters — we were thanked by Clinton as the “secret, private Facebook sites” — expressed it among themselves, all the time, in raptures or happy tears with each new display of our heroine’s ferocious intelligence, depth, and courage. We were frankly bewildered by the idea that anyone would hedge their commitment to her (“You don’t have to be her friend”; “Yes, she’s made mistakes”; “lesser of two evils”). We didn’t remember anyone turning to this stock ambivalence when discussing Obama, Babe Ruth, FDR. If only one reporter — they knew about us — could have published a headline like “Clinton Inspires Historic Levels of Adoration From Her Supporters” about the people who have had their lives transformed by the power of her brilliant campaign, unrivaled effectiveness, and extraordinary career. Just one headline like that, like the ones Bill Clinton got.
Usually a legend is made by men and media — the legend of Kennedy, say, or Jim Morrison — and then, much later, a biopic, pretending to evenhandedness, reveals the legend’s shortcomings, his “human” side. The shortcomings are almost always something exactly no one actually believes compromises his heroism. His problem drinking. His mistreatment of women. Well, takedowns of Hillary were always already written. She has somehow made the time to hear out each dead-end line of reasoning about her fake mortal sins, and often she has also thanked everyone for sparing her further moral lashings, as if that were a kindness. Under cover of “humanizing” the intimidating valedictorian, reports and investigations and media clichés vilified her. But the feminist hero never got to be a legend first. And yet she is one, easily surpassing Ben Franklin, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs.
I want to reverse the usual schedule of things, then. We don’t have to wait until she dies to act. Hillary Clinton’s name belongs on ships, and airports, and tattoos. She deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called RODHAM. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop “On the other hand” sexist hedging around her legacy. But such is the courage of Hillary Clinton and her supporters; we reverse patriarchal orders. Maybe she is more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself. The presidency is too small for her. She belongs to a much more elite class of Americans, the more-than-presidents. Neil Armstrong, Martin Luther King Jr., Alexander Fucking Hamilton.
Hillary Clinton did everything right in this campaign, and she won more votes than her opponent did. She won. She cannot be faulted, criticized, or analyzed for even one more second. Instead, she will be decorated as an epochal heroine far too extraordinary to be contained by the mere White House. Let that revolting president-elect be Millard Fillmore or Herbert Hoover or whatever. Hillary is Athena.
I have no idea what Lennyletter is or who Grillo is. [ https://www.lennyletter.com/story/hillary-clinton-is-more-than-a-president
I don't know who Grillo is or why it's attributed to them, but the author is Virginia Heffernan

How will Hillary mitigate the old-age problem?
She’s due for a moulting
go away you freak
If she gets to be VP and Biden is elected. She will make sure Biden doesn't live to see February 2025.
Is the problem "We might win, despite not wanting to, what do we do?"
we all live in HER world
Save us mother!
