Sebastien Lenorman posted:Really loving the hacking being called a "Russian attack on our election" or "Russian interference in our election" when its literally just publishing unaltered emails. If they'd been polite, non-shady politicians the russians wouldnt have anything but "here are our fundraising metrics" and "here is our schedule" to leak in the first place! ON TOP OF THAT: This was a candidate at the time reeling from accusations of being lax with cybersecurity. How did they not have the fort knox of IT staff, locking down everything tight so nothing could get out after a year of "you dont protect your emails well enough". no but see literally everyone is a corrupt piece of poo poo, that's just The Way The World Works, and the only true sin is exposing any particular person's dirty dealings to those without the mature worldview to understand this.

Pick posted:Trump being a flagrant moron should have sealed her election whether you like her or not. At the time, "Let him show that he is completely incapable of doing this" seemed like an okay bet. it seemed like a safe bet if you only talked to upper management of multibillion-dollar companies, who would tend to agree with the idea that four years of the President loving around and accomplishing nothing would be worse than four years of the President deliberately and competently destroying everyone who was not upper management of a multibillion-dollar company A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Apr 18, 2017 |

How many times did the government shut down again last administration? I don't think cable news coulda divided the country if that became their sole purpose as businesses, people just needed something to do with all that leftover energy once the Red Scare burned itself out, and all those PC killjoys in the party leadership are saying we can't lynch Ahmed at the 7-11 for having done 9/11 so obvs the real unamerican is the guy indistinguishable from me who lives next door and has the wrong bumper sticker

trying to own the isolationist guy on the unethical business practices he's already cheerfully owning up to as proof of what a smooth operator he is, as the national-security-heavy "womens' candidate" who as SecState brokered an arms deal with Saudi Arabia in exchange for a massive donation to the foundation her daughter draws a $500k salary from, would not have high odds of ending well, but it would've been pretty funny

Clinton would not have won if she'd simply avoided ever saying anything that polled poorly and the beltway set's obsession with bullshit like that in lieu of an actual vision for the country was the underpinning of her candidacy and campaign strategy.

As far I can tell she didn't increase security after a request for more security, but that seems like more of an oversight rather than "treason", since the state department probably deals with thousands of different communications/requests on a daily basis. she flew her emails into the Benghazi towers on 9/11 and then blamed the terrorists

It's really evident that both major parties in the US are complete poo poo, and third parties are a joke. I voted for Hillary very begrudgingly. I might not bother voting again at this rate. When both choices would gladly stomp on my face, that doesn't give me a lot of incentive to pick one. if you're mad about lovely Democrats consider that every one of the Clinton crowd is still permanently one word away from an apoplectic tantrum over Nader stealing "their" votes

She necessarily has to appear to the public even if she is removed from a van, walks two feet to a podium, and is then whisked away. She was unable to speak at all without either being condescending or fed what to say and sounding awkward as poo poo. quote:the last couple decades she famously came off as a standoffish, insecure social climber who hated her roots to begin with (versus Bill who capitalized on having come up from nothing and was all about 'feeling your pain') and she just spent 17+ years having smoke blown up her rear end by the insular party machine he created. The poo poo she did on the campaign trail was literally exactly what she'd been doing to stay in power for most of your lifetime, turns out it just doesn't work when the people who actually vote have an alternative, any alternative.

like not even the city bougies can get pumped for "the Iraq War, but by Democrats" or "let Goldman Sachs cause a second great recession the exact same way again", they just found validation in the idea that the choice in mascot represents an effort from corporate to market to their demographic, and are the kind of people who consciously think and write things like that

tbc I'm talking about the cultists super loving obsessed with Clinton and to this day yelling about Bernie bros and writing Harry Potter-reference-laden screeds about how she didn't fail, America failed her; not people who voted for her generally, who did so for all sorts of reasons (in the vast majority of cases, because they vote for the Democrat in every election regardless of who it is or what they say). The former tend to entirely ignore her actual policies, good or bad, and are real hazy about what they liked that she did while in power beyond that she was "qualified"
