Many Hillary supporters claimed this victory fund was sincerely intended to help down tickets, even though actual evidence shows almost none of the fundraising went to help down ticket races.

seriously, this socially liberal/fiscal conservative gambit has steadily decreasing returns, because when social hurdles fall, what else do you have that distinguishes you from the republicans?

why chase after candidates who have to spend the time to balance feasting at the corporate teat with making the voters think that they might just maybe keep them from running roughshod over everything when they could back the party who openly doesn't give a gently caress but will also cut their taxes to boot?

it is pretty gross at how they court their donors over the people

those private dinners and speeches irritated me during the primaries but everyone was just like "no no, its fair to let her address the people that ACTUALLY invest in the process."

and I had to stop and go "are these people listening to themselves? As if the common working person who can't afford their time is dismissed from such things because all their energy is tied up into putting food on their plate doesn't or just can't invest such a ridiculous amount of money into hearing someone talk for an hour?"

It sounded so exclusive and I can't imagine why Hillary lost, she had the best people funding her race. " :psyduck: "

Sometimes I just really try to think, like really hard, what it's like to be a human being as broken as Donald Trump. An old fat man, stupider than virtually everyone he surrounds himself with and interacts with, literally only goal to create an environment where everything that happens is reaffirming to his ego but still every single day staring down his own creeping mortality, the fact that his hotels and casinos, monuments, are each one day closer to tombstones. Does he have these thoughts? Are these thoughts that go through the President-Elect of the United States's big orange stupid head when he tweets about millions of illegal immigrants voting against him? Does he think at all or is he some kind of damaged machine? I DON'T KNOW.

I know so many people 100% sure that she won't run in 2020 and I have zero idea where they get that idea. If a humiliating loss was all it took to stop her from running she wouldn't have run in 2016. I'm not saying it's happening, but I'm so confused by people saying it's an impossibility.
