The whole loving point of campaigning in the primaries is to pander to the base, and she can't even "grasp" that.

You need to remember that Hillary Clinton has no base. She won an election once, in the safest blue seat in the country, and that was explicitly given to her by the Democrats to prep her for a Presidential run. The political career of Hillary Clinton is entirely a creation of the Democratic establishment and their financial backers.

Clinton literally owes the voters nothing.

i'm absolutely not going back over either election's primary calendar, but i have a vague recollection of doing so at the time in 2016 when it was all but over and seeing that obama basically had it on lockdown around the same time

She was tricked! You can't blame Clinton for voting for the Iraq War, that silver-tongued devil George W. Bush clouded her mind and fooled her senses with his elaborately constructed deceit.

yeah i just dont get what the loving buy-in for hillbots is/was. bernie was going to save america and trump was going to gently caress over every (brown) person his supporters blamed for theirwoes. what the gently caress was so exciting about hillary

Somebody explained it as a lot of middle/upper class women could see themselves in Clinton. The competent, tough woman held back by a lovely husband, sexist assholes, not getting the respect she deserved, etc.

For beltway types, Clinton had somehow managed to create the image of herself as as the ultimate decorum observing competent technocrat. The centrist manager who could apolitically run the country

Those were the two prongs of her campaign, the Nasty Woman, breaking the glass ceiling stuff, and the "The Most Qualified Candidate in History" stuff

She lived in the White House! Her husband was president! That's impressive, she married a very important man. And he even let her help a little, and then didn't even get mad when she messed it up!

I'm hoping you guys can clarify something for me. They're saying on the news that the Clinton campaign paid for the research that found the piss tape. Is that true? And if so, doesn't that mean Clinton knew about the piss tape months before the election?

You guys have seen this painting before



It's been on Christmas cards, it illustrates the traditional American Thanksgiving, it's chintzy Americana bullshit.

That painting is called Freedom From Want. It was part of a series of four paintings Norman Rockwell did to illustrate a speech given by President Roosevelt. In that speech Roosevelt laid out the four freedoms all human beings should have. Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.



Freedom From Want doesn't just illustrate a traditional American scene, it illustrates a goal, a principle. That everyone in the world should have enough to secure "a healthy peacetime life". And that wasn't some far off vision, some meaningless statement of morals. That was an immediate goal. One that the US government should act to make happen.

Most politicians nowadays will at least pay lip service to the other three freedoms. But freedom from want hasn't just been forgotten, it's been loving buried. That quote from Bernie Sanders is the first time in my entire life I've seen a politician talk about freedom from want.
