Yeah she preferred the catspaw method to go after Bernie and supporters, such recycling the same sexism angle attack she used against Obama.

america is a shithole full of greedy, racist sociopaths. leftists will never hold any significant amount of power because american people are trash.

i completely and wholeheartedly agree with zeger "arm the poor" mans

so if thats true, the logical next step would be to vote for trump to acelerate the implosion of america

of course she went scorched-earth on him in 2008 but as of right now he's the only one who she should be scared of pissing off. if obama decided that the party establishment should line up behind harris or booker or patrick and cut off hillary that would be the end of it for her.

anime was right posted:

list of things bernie failed to capitalize on in the primary:
did not attack hillary on the following:
- wall st
- 90s crime bills
- welfare reform
- how she failed to pass healthcare reform in the 90s, and that she hired the person that killed it for her to run her superpac or w/e (bill kristol)
- how she hired that other guy who like, called bill clinton a rapist or w/e, captain doll-hair, forget his name
- all of her flipflops from the 2008 primary to the 2016 primary, often times she completely flipped if she was running to the left or the right of her opponent
- how long it took her to get on board with gay marriage
also:
- he did not tie her to all of her other donors
- he killed the email scandal, which was an advantage for him
- he obviously had no intention of winning from the beginning
- didn't announce or develop a profile soon enough
- tooooooooooootally hosed up the planned parenthood thing
- flubbed on guns, a lot
- often times he was too stump-speechy. this was to his advantage a lot, but he rarely adapted when it was necessary
- never clearly articulated how medicare for all would save money for the avg taxpayer, often explaining in a longwinded manner
- etc

he did hammer her on wall street and the secret speeches (butr held off on coming out and stating the implied fact which was that the speaking fees were bribes and she was bought)

that was always the thing that pissed hillary off the most because "everyone does it, why are you attacking me for it" when bernie's deeper critique (which he also was bad at making explicit) was that everyone doing it is the whole problem; if he was running against barney frank or chuck schumer or pelosi or howard dean or Jeb! he would be saying the exact same thing

I think it's generally accepted that surrogates are allowed way more breadth than candidates themselves to say poo poo about the other side

sure, but the campaign wasn't really trying to roast bernie. they didn't need to, there was only a few weeks of actual terror at the prospect of hillary losing before she assumed control of the race on march 1. surrogates are often asked to follow talking points, but it's not exactly rare for them to go off script and do their own thing. they aren't paid to be surrogates. booker calling obama's attacks on romney's hedge fund "nauseating" is a good example of that, or samantha power telling a journalist during the 2008 primary that hillary was a monster. hillary's campaign wanted to boost her favorables, talking about bernie didn't usually feed into that (except, notably, when she got the opportunity to move to his left on guns, as that pulled double duty when it came to boosting her progressive credentials). i don't know why people assume every single negative story in the media originated with the campaign, in all likelihood very few of them did.

if you remember 2008, you know what a scorched earth negative campaign looks like. bernie did not receive it, even remotely.

no because even someone like donald trump isn't shaking the status quo. also the new deal only worked because its programs massively benefited whites more than blacks due to discrimination and outright exclusion of black people. in a country where a good 50% of the people start foaming at the mouth over someone getting $150 a month in food stamps i don't think there's much of a chance for leftism to ever really gain power through reform. maybe if automation puts tens of millions out of work. or after WW3 kicks off and then we can welcome our posadist overlords :getin:

Remember when Clinton attacked Sanders for not seeing him supporter her on healthcare in the 90s and like that video came out like an hour later of him standing right behind her during a healthcare speech? In my opinion, that was very funny.
