Feel free to tell Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean to fuck off as long as you never complain again about how conservative activists get so much more traction than progressive ones.
 
I mean honestly if you voted for her it would be pretty fucking stupid to say you didn't want want her to help fundraise and get an organization going for grassroots candidates, and if you didn't vote for her you don't get a say anyway.

Honestly Hillary should retire I believe it's time. She lost the propaganda war most Americans straight up don't like her. The democratic party needs to figure shit out their selves.
 
She should stay in the shadows and spend it from there then.

She shouldn't be out in the open.

If she were starting an organization spending money from the shadows, I think this is exactly what it looks like, no? Her spokesman literally declined to comment.
 
I'm worried that she will become a figurehead for the movement, which will undermine it through association with her.

If she wants to FUND the resistance, then great - give your money.

If she wants to become a VOICE for the resistance, then I kindly ask her to go do her own thing.

Kind of crazy to see so many people's opinion of Clinton in here turn so dramatically after she lost the election.

She lost to Donald fucking Trump.

That said, personally my opinion of her has not changed. I still like her just fine but it doesn't change what happened.
 
What's wrong with some of you? Is this the purity bullshit? If she's trying to help with grassroots efforts how is that possibly a bad thing? Some of you are embarrassing with your hate for this woman

i've been begging for over 5 years.
It would be great if people read the damn article before coming in here and letting lose with their verbal diarrhea.

They had 20 years to fight it. An entire generation grew up thinking that shit wasn't just right-wing bullshit.
This is why the Dems always have to run someone that hasn't been in the crosshairs. It's a big lesson going forward.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I LOVE this.

Democrats need all the help they can at this point--especially on the local level, because the DNC basically ignored smaller races over the past few years. This is a huge issue going forward, and Hillary and Howard Dean will be great helps here.

Hillary your ship has come and one..
If you want to JOIN the opposition, fine.. lead them? I think America deserves something better at this point..
Though I'll admit that between her and trump it's easy NOT to choose trump..

Did you read the article? Hell, did you read the thread title?

Focusing on raising money instead of getting people to vote for them is what got the Democrats into this mess in the first place.

So it kind of sounds like a smart idea for Clinton, who is no longer going to try to get people to vote for her, to take over the money raising piece so the people getting votes can focus on that and be funded?

Like, nothing about this seems bad. Clinton herself isn't even in the article, her spokespeople didn't contribute, it's mostly Howard Dean talking stuff up.
 
Just like Hillary to be on the wrong side of history until it is clear what direction the "majority" wind is blowing. Add resistance to the list of things she has been LTTP for.

Fuck her.
 
LOL at the Alt-Left up at arms,

Hillary as 1st Lady push hard for ''Hillarycare'' and go dragged through the coals by the Right for it.
 
To everyone that is about to say "go away Hillary"

It says right in the OP that she does NOT plan to be some visible face of the democrats, but that instead she will do the one thing she is VERY good at: Fund Raising for Dems.

And it says that these funds she will raise will go towards local grassroots efforts. AKA HILLARY PLANS TO HELP MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE MONEY FOR A 50 STATE STRATEGY.

This is good. Very good. I said months before that Hillary is good at one thing more than anyone else and that's fundraising.

She could have actually taken her campaign seriously and actually tried to win votes instead of sitting around fundraising in California and New York.

Shoulda Coulda Woulda isn't going to solve any problems.

Guess what CAN solve problems? Making sure that there are funds for a real 50 state strategy.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

Yes and perhaps she should have been held to similar standards as the man she was running against but your comment just like the one I just made, has nothing to do with complaints she wasn't doing anything after she lost the election. Thanks for repeating this though, I'd almost forgotten...

Yeah okay. You convinced me.
Huh, you actually think the Democrats is a left party? do you genuinely think that?

spoiler: they aren't, just because they aren't GOP doesn't mean they are left. Are Americans really this clueless at politics? there is genuinely no real left party or labor movement in America.

Please no, Hilary, we don't need you.

She still blames everyone but herself for losing the election.

Wrong. She quite clearly took onus for her loss. Admitting that other factors contributed does not mean she "blamed everyone else"

why would I read an article when I can knee-jerk to a thread title?

Fuck her.

She's been working on this for months. Read the damn article before you drop your hot take.
