Hindu Americans in politics seem to have this hate boner for Muslims. they might be progressive in every other respect but catch them in the right mood and it's all "exterminate the brutes!"

just for context, this is what clinton literally said at the fundraiser:

https://youtu.be/idrgiAEk2Vs?t=91

this isn't about trump's politician or business elite supporters or some white supremacist in a basement. in context, she's mocking the voters.

it turns out mocking your opponents' voters is loving stupid as hell. this is as stupid as the mitt romney 47% gaffe, but clinton is such a bad candidate and politician she said this in open in public. romney had to be secretly recorded insulting a wide swath of voters.

what's even stupider than clinton is her supporters that don't see how much of a gaffe this statement was.

It's gaffe insofar as people really enjoy being outraged. The comment is pretty defensible. She didn't call anyone a deplorable, she said they existed. Anyone wearing that label chose it for themselves.

Bill Clinton was 25 years ago. at this point there aren't many experienced party operatives left who don't have some kind of connection to the Clinton or Obama machines. also, they brought everyone they thought was any good into the Clinton campaign, so they don't really have anyone left who isn't tainted by the 2016 disaster, and they've been neglecting the talent pipeline so there isn't any new blood around that they're confident enough in to gamble on

yes, revolution messaging ran bernie's digital operation and they were obama 08 alum.

but anyway i mainly agree that there aren't a ton of people qualified to work at dnc that aren't hfa or ofa alumni. there are some, but if you were very talented someone at hfa probably asked you to join at some point.

that said i have no idea who those people at dnc are so for all i know they are bad

The DNC must do a better job of communicating our message and be a meaningful partner with organizations, candidates and state parties in all 50 states and territories
ah yes

the solution is to just "do a better job of communicating" and spout mealymouthed bullshit platitudes like "a proactive message of economic opportunity and Democratic values"

I largely agree with what she said, but the fact that she, as a presidential candidate, actually said it is pretty stupid.

It's basically her version of Mitt Romney's 47% quote.

Like I said earlier, it's actually worse, because she didn't even need to be secretly taped saying it, and her supporters didn't need booze to loudly and publicly agree with it
