Support NeoGAF

[IamDodongo]

Republicans aren't allowed to show any disapproval for people in their own party, so this makes sense.

Everyone else has the self-awareness to be critical of people they're aligned with.

 

[Exodust]

This is stupid.

Not really.

I don't hate Hillary, but I wasn't particularly fond of her. Trump is worse on many scales and while misogyny and racism did contribute to her losing, her campaign didn't help. Especially choosing not to campaign in two states that ended up winning Trump the election.

I know her cult of personality is strong here, but we need to learn from her mistakes and realize it wasn't all because of deplorables. Lest we end up with a Trump reelection.

 

[Twig and Berries]

Clinton is a loser and isn't President. Conservatives will always hate her and many liberals blame her for losing an easy win. I'd be shocked if she was somehow more popular after her loss.

 

[sturgboski]

Well, misogyny aside, many leftists blame her for Trump's victory. This is wholly unsurprising.

I blame blunders on her campaign and the left for Trump. All those who decided to not vote or voted 3rd party on the left in protest should have voted Clinton to stop this. But let's not relitigate last year. Instead it's terrifying how Trump has higher approvals with all that is going on... though I guess blaming her for everything happening now would do that.

 

[Christhor]

Who cares about Clinton.

Certainly not voters.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Can't say I'm a fan of either of them, but given the choice of Trump v Hillary, I'd vote for the latter every time.

 

[mlclmtckr]

Well I'm not a fan of either. Am I part of the problem?

Literally yes.

 

[gcubed]

Accelerationism going to kick in any day now

 

[metalslimer]

Neither the Hill nor the Bloomberg headline contain the word still because she was.


That still insinuation is a 100% Schattenjäger revisionist history addition

This.

Also of course it makes sense. Dems are mad she lost. I still have dummies whining to me about lesser of two evils though.

 

[Theonik]

Republicans.

I mean even most republicans have moved on from the election, only Trump cares at this point. There is the odd delusional democrat I guess that thinks that if the election was held today Hillary would have won but who knows.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I think there's a lot of animosity post-election after revelations of how the campaign was handled, the DNC allegations, the fact she loss, and that it seemed people were rallying under her not because she was Hillary Clinton but because she was the opposition to Donald Trump.

We have threads about how her campaign was run from different sources.

 

[Aurongel]

Not entirely unbelievable. I'm not exactly thrilled with her for blowing a very winnable election either. There's been numerous liberal pieces and opinions coming out against her. Political polarization caps her approval around half anyway so these numbers just read to me as liberal voter frustrations.

And if we're being totally honest, it's not entirely misguided anger.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Seriously, Hillary? Aside from Republicans, she's practically irrelevant at this point. No need to beat a dead horse.

She was

Also 41% approval 6 months into your term is terrible.

It's even lower then that, depending on where you look.

 

[Loudninja]

This.

Also of course it makes sense. Dems are mad she lost. I still have dummies whining to me about lesser of two evils though.

Yet alot decided to stay home.

 

[Master Yoshi]

This is depressing, no matter how anyone tries to spin it.

 

[shawnbuddy]

I still like her.

 

[God Dayumm]

Nobody likes a loser.

This. Losing is the worst thing a person can do. And winning the most virtuous.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Then we deserve what we're getting and about to get in the next four years.

Listen to right-wing talk or watch Hannity. They talk about her every day.

 

[ldcommando]

poor abuela

 

[QuantumBro]

Eh I voted for her, but lost a lot of respect for her after her 'Go blame Comey for losing the election" tour. I hope she doesn't run for the presidency again cause she had her chance and blew it, but if she wants to run for another office I don't really care.

That doesn't mean I think she's on the same level as Trump, I just have an unfavorable view of both.

Poll: Clinton more unpopular than Trump

Poll: Clinton still more unpopular than Trump

Incredible

 

[Steve Youngblood]

This certainly doesn't bode well for the 2020 presidential campaign she was never going to run.

 

[Moppeh]

That's fucking crazy.

 

[Amory]

What difference does it make? She lost the election and will never run again. What people think of her now has no bearing on anything.

 

[Zolo]

Listen to right-wing talk or watch Hannity. They talk about her every day.

Yeah. A common arguing point when talking about Trump's flaws is to immediately talk about Hillary or Obama as well.....because deflecting is easier than defending.

I expect nothing less.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

I still think Trump will win in 2020. Trump and America are made for each other.

 

[Nepenthe]

Trump is literally trying to destroy the planet.

Nothing Hillary can do can top that.

Absolutely dumb.

 

[Faiz]

Flawed takeaway when it isn't measuring degree of dislike. I dislike both but would still rate Clinton considerably higher than Trump, who I don't think I could rate lower.

 

[Surfinn]

Well I'm not a fan of either. Am I part of the problem?

Did you vote for Trump?

 

[Fox Mulder]

She lost to Trump and people didn't really like her before anyways.

She holds no office and likely won't be back. She's only brought up at this point so Republicans can deflect shit.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

So? She lost a presidential campaign. Most democrats are pissed at the mistakes she made.

oh yeah... (once again) she lost and her public life is probably over and done.

Why do people feel the need to keep bashing Clinton? When Mitt Romney lost, we saw the photo of him filling up his car and that was it... We didn't have articles 6 months later "Mitt Romney still lost the 2012 election."

 

[DeleteMyAccountThankyou]

I remember Obama bragging about the utter beatdown he delivered to.. wait. Nope I don't. What is the fucking point of this?

Is he trying to get KD to join his team?

 

[Preezy]

Both losers.

 

[Enzom21]

You're going to argue that 20% of the women in the US are self loathing women?

Really?

And you're also assuming that 100% of the men are mysoginistic pigs too (if only 20% of the women population is part of that 58%)

Where are you getting this number from?
A majority of eligible voters did not vote for the piece of shit in office.

 

[Boney]

At least Trump's base likes him, can we even say the same about Clinton?

Right. Trump is going to have his base support him. Clinton has that Trump base hating her and the people that blame her weak campaign for handing the win to Trump.

If they would ask about rating your approval from 1-10 I'd expect Trump to have a lower average.

[Tal Shiar Agent]

People here pretending like the election wasn't stolen despite the obvious collusion, hacking of voter rolls, and inconsistencies in results on key states.

 

[yellowjacket25]

Seems pretty dumb to do popularity polls for a failed candidate that doesn't hold any office.

 

[RPGCrazied]

She is still a better person then Trump, and again I would vote for her over Trump.

Its not a contest.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I'm assuming more people started disliking her after her election missteps

That's probably it and definitely not the GOP's two decades long smear campaign.

 

[minor effort]

She's still a physical representative of an election year many would prefer to forget. It's not too surprising.

 

[Beer Monkey]

This is straight out of the Russian geopolitics playbook. They were instrumental in making this happen. Republicans helped.

 

[Netherscourge]

Can you imagine if Obama was allowed to run again, against Trump in 2020?

I'm trying to picture the utter insanity of that election year, especially from the Alt-Right.

Eh, that's for another topic I guess.

I wonder if he'd be more or less popular than Hillary?

 

[MC Safety]

poor abuela

That was a misstep and a half.

The best thing the Clintons could do for the country is to fade into obscurity. This includes Chelsea and any of her children.

 

[legacyzero]

I would say your assumption is correct. As much as I hate that man, I am incredibly upset at the campaign she ran and her loss unfortunately led to his win. I know it is heartless, but I never want to hear or see her, or any clinton, ever again after this last election.

I think this has some merit. The election was a fish in the barrel win, and the Democrats blew it worse that the Falcons. I wanted Hillary to win, too. We'd all be having a much better time than with Trump. But yeah, I think people just want her to stop at this point.

"BUT SEXISM!"

I mean, that probably plays a role, sure. But nobody can say seriously that it's the primary role. I mean, if that was the case, there was always Carly Fiorina and Michelle Bachman?

This is stupid.

Stupid because you don't like it, or stupid because it holds some water?

Why does this even matter good lord let this die.

It matters because she still wants to play a role in 2018 with a midterm drive, and still up in the air for a rematch in 2020. It very much matters.

I have to assume a huge chunk of those are people who believed in her before she blew it.

This is so simple.

That was a misstep and a half.

The best thing the Clintons could do for the country is to fade into obscurity. This includes Chelsea and any of her children.

Certainly not her worst mis-step. Her questionable behavior and convenient pivot on TPP, "having a public and private position", running ads with almost no policy substance or than "Trump is a dirty man!", and "running the most progressive campaign in history" just after admitting how Moderate you are at a rally, oh, and your opponent is Bernie-fucking-Sanders.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Why do people feel the need to keep bashing Clinton? When Mitt Romney lost, we saw the photo of him filling up his car and that was it... We didn't have articles 6 months later "Mitt Romney still lost the 2012 election."

I don't know. Maybe because Romney's a man. *shrugs* Though honestly, even though misogyny is a factor, I don't think it's necessarily the reason. People are just obsessed over Clinton to unfathomable degrees.

 

[Theonik]

Listen to right-wing talk or watch Hannity. They talk about her every day.

I'd rather watch the Bee movie but every time they say 'bee' it's replaced by 'Bigly' than to do that.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

It's Schatt though.
