She completely gutted the dnc on the national level, and packed them with single minded people like dws who said "gently caress
Everything Else. It's Her Turn". This in turn lead to a complete GOP takeover (even if she would have won president).

Hillary is personally to blame for that. So yes she is a terrible person.

He also didn't do things he as president, had the power to do. Ending the federal war on drugs is 100% in his power, but it won't happen. Addressing the nation about congressional votes he disagrees with us within his power. He had strong opinions on the bill to allow Saudi Arabia to be sued for 9/11, too bad he didn't seem to care about any of the previous votes.

The problem now isn't HRC, it's the #HillaryMen (and women) still in positions of authority in the party who would rather burn it down around them than cede their power to leftists.

poo poo-talking HRC is only useful insofar as it destroys the credibility of these people and aids in marginalizing and sidelining them, which needs to happen.

Yeah for me a political party is just an organization that delivers me people who I can feel ok about voting for and who will win the election. It couldn't do the latter and only barely did the former.

thats definitely part of it, though i think "change" is putting it very broadly. youve gotta feed each faction in your coalition some meat, and the "working class" faction starved. it wasnt just whites, her advantage in some extremely poor, extremely latino (95%) areas was also slimmer than obama's

the low-income trump supporters voted against their own interests, of course, but the fact that theyre rubes doesnt fundamentally change anything. obama was able to speak to them, and obama had an ~55% approval rating on November 8.

"money for retraining" is what was offered (vaguely), and it is a repellent message. "give up your lives and livelihoods, middle-aged voters, and we'll pay for you to learn to program" is not only as infeasible as building the wall, it's a slap in the face. people dont want to leave their towns or their family or their jobs, these are the things that give them dignity and make them feel whole!!!

Yeah, it's more than just 'change'. HRC was a bad candidate who had trouble energizing her base, and her campaign was run by a dummy.

if the DNC wasn't staffed by people who reported directly to clinton then a bunch of other people would have run and possibly some reasonably charismatic and effective person might have won

It seems everyone ran a bad campaign except Trump...

I think the big issue was this was a change election and Hillary Clinton was the furthest away from a change candidate possible.

She still could have squeezed by with a win on this election if she had remembered what Donald Trump knows: that politics are a social game where you have to sell people on an ideal. Instead Clinton embraced the technocratic fishmechian school, where you compromise your position before negotiations even start, in favor of expertly calibrated policy structures, means-tested and micro-targeted to achieve the best outcome at maximum efficiency possible. And you're an idiot for expecting anything better. Then they fed the expertly crafted model bad data, oops. They galvanized a massive part of the electorate by calling them deplorable, woopsie-daisy. They suppressed their own turnout by constantly punching left and making overtures to the worst bloodthirsty elements of the Republican party.

People don't care about what's "realistic," and they don't care about efficiency. They want to vote for an agenda that's in line with their values, and the Clinton campaign predicated its success on relying on voters to compromise their values out of fear of the other. They also want to trust that the person they're voting for will attempt to carry out that agenda in good faith.

Trump's voters couldn't really trust him because he has no political track record, but the fact that he didn't have a political background was enough of an opening to throw the craps and pray that he follows through. Democratic voters had no reason to expect that Clinton would follow through on "the most progressive agenda in American history." Because she had spent the last 30 years publicly opposing it. Her highly qualified & experienced political career was a liability, because her political career was awful.

There are still Clinton fans who moan about how she tried passing universal healthcare during the 90s, but Clintoncare was basically a mandate which would have forced employers to provide health insurance. Her politics were bad then, and they were bad today. Hillary Clinton was bad.

clinton consolidated the party directly behind her during the obama years. this isnt a conspiracy, the people running everything worked for her immediately prior to taking their dnc jobs

it just wasnt like that in the 2008 primary. she had a lot of say in the party at that point, but it wasnt nearly as monolithic

On the other hand, several scholars have noted that Hillary's relationship to her cult was, like Obama's, not so much psychologically invested as complicated. There is the oft-cited but perhaps apocryphal story of a Hillary conversation with Chelsea, who said, "But I am a Clinton too." Hillary is said to have replied, "No, you're not.... You're not Clinton and I'm not Clinton," and pointing to a portrait of herself, "That is Clinton."
