Anyone old enough to remember when Bill was in office and even back then, people were saying they'd never vote her Hillary when she runs? Even back then it was obviously a goal of hers but even then, nobody wanted her.

Lucky for you, there is a party currently committed to this platform.

On a related note, they managed to lose a presidential election to a reality show retard. And a congressional one. And the Senate. Also, the majority of governors. They'll probably lose at least 1 seat on the Supreme Court, too.

This has been bugging me for a while, couldn't remember who this was or precisely when, finally found it:

https://www.democracynow.org/2016/2/9/former_vermont_governor_madeleine_kunin_on


quote:

MADELEINE KUNIN: Well, I’m very pleased to endorse Hillary Clinton. And my answer is simple. I believe she is the most qualified and will be the most effective person in the White House. And I’m supporting her for that reason. In addition, I am thrilled that we have a strong possibility of having a woman in the White House. But I want to make it clear: I’m not supporting her just because she’s a woman—I don’t think anybody should—but because I think she is the top qualified person for the job. And I’ve known her over the years. And I’ve also had the experience of being the first woman governor of Vermont and the fourth woman in the country.

And I believe there’s still some gender issues at work. They’re more subtle than they used to be. Now, nobody is going to say, "I won’t vote for a woman," like a barber said to me in Springfield, Vermont. People feel that, you know, it’s obviously politically incorrect. But I think both men and women have some subtle gender issues. For example, Bernie’s style of waving his arms and getting laryngitis from shouting is something a woman can’t do, because she would be considered hysterical. People don’t like angry women. But there are also some gender issues on the positive side, that I feel that as a woman, as a working woman, as a wife, as a mother, we have different priorities on the agenda. And women’s issues, like child care, equal pay for equal work, paid family and medical leave, those are gut issues for women, because we’ve lived them. So, the world still looks different through the eyes of a woman, just as the world looked different through the eyes of a black man, Barack Obama. Not on everything, but on some key issues, there are positive gender differences, because these issues will get higher attention when Hillary is president.


"I'm not endorsing Hillary Clinton because she's a woman, now let me talk about nothing but how her being a woman makes her a better candidate!"

The beauty part is, this was probably the best argument anyone ever made for voting for Hillary Clinton. Too bad she never presented any evidence that Hillary Clinton actually resembled her ideal woman candidate.

Hillary Clinton was bad. There are people who exist who absolutely know what's going on with her, know what she really stands for, knows she's trying to placate the working class while telling them to go gently caress themselves, deliberately trying to undermine the labor left, and deliberately using wedge social issues a president has next to no power to influence, and outright lying about her position on theses things, and they still supported her. I hate them way more than I hate Hillary Clinton. There are SA posters who fit this bill, and sometimes I wish a name-and-shame was something I could do without eating a bucket of poo poo. because everyone who likes Hillary Clinton should get owned on the internet and hosed up in real life. I pray for the financial ruin, emotional distress and pain, bad luck, and eventually their premature death from the stress and pain of a vengeful God, my God, ruining their lives for ultimately wanting to elect a woman who actively wants to harm this country and its working classes.

I'm not a religious man, and I haven't been for a while, but I still feel that Hillary Clinton's humiliating loss to Donald Trump is the strongest evidence we have that God is real. It is exactly the sort of thing the Triune God would do to teach the world why humility is important and arrogance is a deadly sin.

I know we're talking about this dumb election book, but I like to think that in our lifetimes, we'll get a real tell-all book.

I still can't believe a few of my gay friends, who are the hillary supporters you're describing, still say they're afraid of Trump literally sending goons to come round them up. I mean, it was stupid as hell the day after the election, but any objective look at Trump paints a better picture of someone who supports gay rights when put up against Hillary.

Trump is a New Yorker and most people from New York know at least one gay person and on average they are less religious than most of the country. If I had to guess where in NY you'd find the most homophobia, hilariously it would be among minority immigrant enclaves, lol

Because the VP has very limited formal powers, and none of those would allow him to unilaterally put gay people in ball shocking camps or whatever. Especially with the Democrats and the media in general rabidly opposing him, Trump needs that GOP insider support. Maybe if he had more bipartisan cooperation and a more reasonable media environment he could try for more pushback and take more independent acrions, but unfortunately this is not the case and he is limited in how he can exercise his "soft power" as President.

A VP is a largely meaningless pick unless your candidate gets assassinated, or if dying from old age is a realistic possibility (McCain's Palin Dilemma). Outside of that, their primary purpose is for them to be able to win their home state and for them not look like a loving retard/corrupt piece of poo poo/creep.

Pence might be a piece of poo poo (remember when he disputed claims that cigarettes cause cancer in the 90s?), but at least he can talk/act like he's NOT a piece of poo poo.

Hillary chose this guy :



She chose him because he stepped down and helped grease Hillary's helper into his former position. He offered nothing to her campaign and actively hurt her campaign.

Fair question. Trump was pro-gay marriage back before even Obama/Clinton were. He gave no fucks, he wrote an entire blog on it and publicly said lots of good things about Elton John, and his partner. He's been very openly supportive of gay people for a long time and I think it's personal and not some focus group testing thing.

Now I've got a question for you. If Trump/Pence are so anti-gay what have they done since taking office that is anti gay? What anti gay plans do you think they have?

Now I've got a question for you. If Trump/Pence are so anti-gay what have they done since taking office that is anti gay? What anti gay plans do you think they have?

i don't think trump is anti-gay, i think he doesn't care. meaning that if the house and senate pass a bill that, i dunno, redefines hate crimes to make it easier to assault gay people without getting charged with that, i don't think trump would care enough to veto it. he's not going to make a speech blasting the gay community but he's not going to lift a finger to help them either. which is mostly materially the same as clinton since with a republican house/senate her hands would be mostly tied. the reason i think this is because many of his cabinet picks and pence have histories of being anti-lgbt and it obviously didn't matter enough for him to pick someone else. i think this is a lot more relevant to his current positions than years old articles.

pence on the other hand is largely powerless right now, so i don't think he has any current plans. if trump gets impeached (looking more likely every day since idiot democrats seem to think it would hand them the next 4 years on a platter for some asinine reason) he's not going to be rounding up gay people into camps but he'll probably be strongly in favor of removing protections for them in the workplace at the very least. im sure hes drooling at the thought of possibly getting a supreme court justice who would undo the gay marraige ruling.
