The GOP did not suddenly start doing bad things when Trump became president

...THAT'S WHY SHE RAN AGAINST HIM.

Christ.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

In what world Hilary Clinton is leftist? At best she is a centrist.

She was consistently rated as one of the most liberal Senators in the Senate while she was there, for one

You could also just look at her policy proposals from last year, which are pretty left!

 

[Eidan]

The Clintons want to retain control of the Democratic Party, for reasons that no one knows but themselves. They still want to rule from the shadows.

This story sounds riveting. Please continue. What nefarious plot is Clinton and those crooks at her so-called "foundation" cooking now? Can Batman and the Boy Wonder possibly stop her?

 

[EatinOlives]

It's pretty simple, if she and her campaign weren't so incompetent we wouldn't be facing what we are facing today. Yes I'm bitter.

She is the reason Trump is in office.

No, your attitude is part of the reason why Trump is in office.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Drafted by Biden....

Shh, no facts, just Fuck the Clintons

 

[tuxfool]

This thread is a bucket of stupid.

It is incredible.

 

[Magwik]

🤔🤔

Keep trying Hillary, people will fall for you some day right?

Nah, the fuck am I kidding, ain't nobody falling for your shit so just gtfo.

And people wonder why we lost

 

[Cocaloch]

I don't need the right's anti-leftist rhetoric. Reading this thread is enough for me.

I'm seeing plenty of people being shitty from both directions here.

"Deep State" becomes "Deep Clinton" 🤔

 

[kamineko]

All HC would have gotten us was incremental improvement to healthcare and progressives for lifetime judicial appointments

There's really no difference between that and a shit sandwich. It's basically the same

 

[2Smashed4U]

You're literally telling everyone that thinks something besides what you think to shut up and think what you think.

You should probably realize that is a tall order.

I'm saying what you think doesn't matter, and what you demand in politics is never going to happen in America, so I don't give a fuck.

If you're going to shoot my foot off over purity test bullshit, you are as much my enemy as the people on the right are.

 

[Meowster]

They'll probably bring up something to drag Chelsea Clinton through the mud. I've noticed that's become a trend lately.

 

[Captin Quacker]

The true Left is going to get everyone killed. At less the GOP call me a nigger to my face and tell me they going to fuck me and mine to my face. "Progressives" tell you are lesser than them and they know better.

Awhile back a poster said they weren't with any party, and voted for the one who would shit on them least. which was so 100, I'm kickin myself for losing track of it

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

How is her raising money for Dems a bad thing? Explain.

Cause they are bitter, that is that matters. It is so childish.

FREE MONEY, that you can use to elect more Bernie esque people. Nah, I'm bitter. What!?

 

[Fast Forward]

Don't fucking speak for me, because I'm certainly not wasting my time on that bullshit.

Hillary wouldn't tried to rob me of healthcare like the party of Trump just did today. Save the bullshit.

Um, I was not speaking for you.

And yes, Hillary would have been better than Trump, including on Healthcare. That's a given. But Hillary lost, and she lost for a reason, and not just because of RUSSIA. She lost because there's nothing "resistant" about her. She was and still is very much the classic establishment candidate.

 

[tomtom94]

Lovely to see Hillary stans are still blissfully unaware that they fell into the same trap as Bernie fans during the primary. "No, you see, she's really great, you just don't get her..."

Took long enough for this line to come out... :lol

 

[TestOfTide]

Yeah it's all a NEFARIOUS PLOT TO SECRETLY CONTROL THE DEMOCRATS./s

How about you learn to be happy when Hillary is basically saying "I'm gonna focus entirely on doing the one thing I'm good at: Fundraising for local efforts"

meanwhile how much money did Bernie raise for "Our Revolution"? Oh right, next to nothing.

 

[ZeoVGM]

It's pretty simple, if she and her campaign weren't so incompetent we wouldn't be facing what we are facing today. Yes I'm bitter.

She is the reason Trump is in office.

3 million more people voted for her than Trump. You literally don't know what you're talking about.

Trump is in office because of people who voted for Trump. Because they bought into his blatant lies. The fact that Trump was able to get past the Access Hollywood video leak and still win the election shows that he was going to win no matter what.

So stop with the finger pointing blame game bullshit.

 

[Father_Brain]

How'd those primaries turn out for your man?

I agree, it would be foolish to extrapolate primary or general election performance purely from favorability polling. Good thing I'm not doing that!

Point is, Clinton is objectively more "polarizing" and "divisive" within the party than Sanders. No wonder he's in demand on the campaign trail and she isn't.

 

[Cocaloch]

Well you have people here saying fuck off and die in the woods we don't like free money, money that we desperately need. Why is this so complex, I don't give a shit if it is Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or Jesus Christ. You take the damn money and put it towards electing progressives that you support.

Why oh why are we turning down free money, oh wait. I hate Clinton, derp.

Right and that sucks. Just like saying anyone that might have any problem with Hilary participating, including from a standpoint of simple utility, sucks.

You take the money if its a net positive to the movement. Some people clearly don't think it is. You should be debating utility.

 

[BitStyle]

The post was obviously in jest though

I hear they'll do it from a DC Pizza Joint actually.

Resistance needs money. Do tell where you're going to be raising funds from.

Furthermore do tell us what you have done for the resistance, besides whining on a forum?

 

[El_Tiguere]

The funds raised better not come with any strings attached, as is usual for the grand self-dealing corrupt past of the Clintons.

 

[Chococat]

Good. Glad she is back in the game with fundraising.

 

[HStallion]

Its not like people didn't buy into Trump's insanity and bull shit. Nope Hillary lost it all by herself.

Lovely to see Hillary stans are still blissfully unaware that they fell into the same trap as Bernie fans during the primary. "No, you see, she's really great, you just don't get her..."

I don't think that's what's being said in here at all. Its more like people screaming,"SHE'S TERRIBLE AND SUCKS AND SHOULD GO AWAY" and most of the rest is,"Well no that's not the case and stop being so hyperbolic and silly"

 

[EatinOlives]

Lovely to see Hillary stans are still blissfully unaware that they fell into the same trap as Bernie fans during the primary. "No, you see, she's really great, you just don't get her..."

The fuck are you even talking about? She's doing nothing except fundraising for grassroots activism, how is pointing this out "stanning" for her, and how is that more unreasonable than the children in this thread literally shouting "FFUCKK OFFFF".

 

[Mr.Monitor]

I definitely don't mind her bankrolling people with more progressive views than her; money is about the only thing that seems to get things done nowadays. I think in terms of optics a lot of people are gonna feel like it's "too soon" or that she's just jumping on the bandwagon, but it's better she's in a support role than sitting around doing nothing all day. She may be unlikable as shit but she seems like a powerful ally to have.

 

[djkimothy]

Well damn! lol where's the /s!!!!

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Not saying that at all, saying can we please stop fighting and take the free money so we can get more progressives and resist Trump. Please?

 

[VeryGooster]

The people will shout "Save us!"
And then some other people will whisper, "But Wall Street."

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Look guys like honestly I don't like Hillary and love to relitigate the primary as much as anyone else but this is basically nothing. She's really good at raising money, so if she's not like using this to just fund candidates that want to privatize social security or to fund Chelsea 2020 or whatever I don't get why this is so bad and why it needs to devolve into "she voted for Iraq!"

 

[Quixzlizx]

I'm seeing plenty of people being shitty from both directions here.

The reasoning is so simplistic: "I hate Hillary, so I'm going to tell her to fuck off, even though she wants to fund-raise for progressive causes, not run for office again."

In my opinion, that level of critical thinking isn't much above "I'm unemployed, Mexicans immigrate here, so we need a wall so Mexicans stop stealing our jobs."

 

[Cocaloch]

I'm saying what you think doesn't matter, and what you demand in politics is never going to happen in America, so I don't give a fuck.

If you're going to shoot my foot off over purity test bullshit, you are as much my enemy as the people on the right are.

That's a good way to build a coalition. You need votes from the left. Compromise is necessary on both sides here.

Ironically for someone talking about pragmatism, ignoring the left entirely probably won't do anything to help you win. It'll make you feel better about your own position though.

 

[TestOfTide]

I agree, it would be foolish to extrapolate primary or general election performance purely from favorability polling. Good thing I'm not doing that!

Point is, Clinton is objectively more "polarizing" and "divisive" within the party than Sanders. No wonder he's in demand on the campaign trail and she isn't.

Well then it's a good thing that the OP's article says that Hillary does NOT plan to be any visible face of the party, but rather someone who is helping raise funds for the 50 state strategy behind the scenes.

Like her or hate her, Hillary is best at one thing and that's fundraising.

The funds raised better not come with any strings attached, as is usual for the grand self-dealing corrupt past of the Clintons.

Considering how successful and clean the Clinton Foundation is, I doubt that this is going to be a bunch of strings attached BS. Hillary is just THAT good at fund raising. Or to put it another way, she is as good at fundraising as she is bad at campaigning.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Keep trying Hillary, people will fall for you some day right?

Nah, the fuck am I kidding, ain't nobody falling for your shit so just gtfo.

Three million more people voted for her over Trump.

Jesus Christ, you people. Take 5 minutes to educate yourself on the basic facts.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Lovely to see Hillary stans are still blissfully unaware that they fell into the same trap as Bernie fans during the primary. "No, you see, she's really great, you just don't get her..."

Please refer to post #5 of this thread.

 

[Tarydax]

Good for her. She's a great fundraiser.

This and Bernie had the nerve to call southern voters stupid. Fuck him and that little bird

Yup.

He blames everyone but himself for his primary loss. Of course, the same people who complain about Hillary's "basket of deplorables" remark are nowhere to be heard from when you bring up how Bernie ignored and insulted Southern Dems, saying their votes didn't matter because they were "conservative."

It's pretty simple, if she and her campaign weren't so incompetent we wouldn't be facing what we are facing today. Yes I'm bitter.

She is the reason Trump is in office.

It's pretty simple, if Bernie and his campaign weren't so incompetent we wouldn't be facing what we are facing today. yes I'm bitter.

Bernie is the reason Hillary won the primary.

 

[Jigorath]

Hillary 2020.

Americans like rematches. ;-)

Hillary about to pull a Rocky III?

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Hillary's movement for AIDS, Adult Literacy and Advancement of Global Democracy?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

She was consistently rated as one of the most liberal Senators in the Senate while she was there, for one

She's not a leftist

 

[2Smashed4U]

Not sure how I feel about this....

Didn't take long to see why either.

 

[D i Z]

Just going to ignore all of the good things she's done and all that she can offer to untangle this mess just so you can sit there and sulk, huh?

 

[Inyourprime]

There’s no name for project, either. “Not only is there not a name for it yet, but there probably never will be,” Dean said, describing the effort as a “loose affiliation of groups” that the project will try to facilitate working together.

“We’re not gonna tell them what they have to do,” he said. “This is not a top-down organization. It can’t be with this generation.”

Shit all this sounds good to me.

And I'm not going to even read past page 2 of this thread. People already telling to her to fuck off when all she is doing is fund raising...

 

[tuxfool]

HILLARY IS THE NEW SOROS!!!!

 

[eBay Huckster]

because people need to have Strong Opinions About Things or else they won't have internet cred

like she's literally fucking off to the sidelines and doing nothing but raising money and people still feel need to take a shit on that

 

[gutter_trash]

Far Left often circles back around to Far Right. Fair Right is just more honest about it

that is so Jean-Luc Mélenchon being okay with a Marine Le Pen outcome

 

[Unknown Soldier]

In the world of America

America is a very conservative country. In Europe, Hillary would have been regarded as center-right, like an Angela Merkel or someone like that.
