    Hey Hillary, do you know what I’d like to hear from you?

    Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. You fucking lost to the fascist the first time around and paved the way for his ascent to power. You are a HUGE fucking factor in how we got to where we are now.

      She is a fascist herself who led the unilateral intervention on Libya that lead to the unnecessary deaths of 50k people in a civil war that didn’t need to happen, architected the pivot to Asia which will lead to WW3, and “promoted” LGBT rights internationally in a way that got LGBT people thrown under the bus world wide as a side effect of resisting American imperial power.

            Probably wouldnt have trump today if it wasnt for the DNC sabotaging all the popular candidates to shove hilary down our throats.

            No one wanted hilary.

            and remember, Trump didnt even want to win. He just wanted to use running as a springboard for more attention. He was, by all accounts, upset with his intitial win because of how he felt he’d be restricted by the white house… granted all thats long since been gone since he learned how to manipulate the office to his favor (especially with charging the SS 4x more than anyone else for his weekly trips to maralago…) in his first time, and how hes fucking destroyed the country with his second with how he has undermined everything to go full narcoleptic cartman.

        “promoted” LGBT rights internationally in a way that got LGBT people thrown under the bus world wide as a side effect of resisting American imperial power.

        Hey I don’t like HRC but this take is pants on head unhinged. Shes not doing anti-LGBT 4D chess, she was just narcissistic/delusional to think she’d be anywhere charismatic enough to convince people internationally to treat LGBT people better.

        Do people in the global south & developing world have agency? Or are they simpletons being manipulated by grand puppet masters? If the answer is they have agency, the bigots that live in those places should own their bigotry and you shouldn’t do apologia for them. If the answer is they are simpletons well… ok.

            I’ll say she did it on purpose. There is no such thing as an unintended negative consequence of democrats’ actions. Not one. If they wanted to get the benefit of the doubt, they shouldn’t have supported genocide. They’ll need a lot of action to fix that. Not words. Democrats have demonstrated how worthless their words are.

      Sure. You realize how bad trump is, way worse than even Hillary. But it’s Americans that voted for trump over Hillary. It’s the stupidity of Americans that you should be blaming.
      It’s so funny how far people go to try to absolve themselves of responsibility.

      • Americans in very specific swing states in manipulated elections voted for Trump. Hilary actually won that election by several million votes. The USA is not a democracy and blaming voters is really a pathetic and wrong understanding of politics.

          Ah yes, when it’s Russia then every Russian should suffer for not overthrowing Putin. But when it’s the US, Hillary actually won and “it wasn’t me” anyway, and blaming voters is pathetic.

            Blaming voters for not voting the right way is in fact pathetic, because their elections are fake. They couldn’t have voted differently because their votes don’t matter. I blame Americans but not for the reasons they were suggesting. I absolutely think that people in the US shouldn’t bother to vote and should instead destroy their fake democracy and settler colony. The USA is worse than Russia in every way. It is in fact the US who over threw the Russian government and installed Putin, it is amazing how they think it is the other way around

                She was such a bad candidate that she personally couldn’t win no matter how far to the right she went. She might have stood a better chance if she treated the left flank of the party like she actually needed their votes.

                  How would that have made her win? Her policy, and the history of the Democratic Party in contrast to the republicans is that she would be better for the people. Better is better. It doesn’t matter how much really. If people wanted better, they would already vote for her.

      I think the “theory” is supposed to be that the stuff about it that makes Israel look bad is what’s supposedly totally made up. Like “Oh those dozen videos of IDF soldiers playing a game to see who could snipe the most children in the genitals? That’s not real. Those were Hamas fighters. If you dumb kids knew the whole story you would agree with us adults in the room that Israel is in the right here.”

      No no no; politicians in this country are used to being able to lie with impunity and have the backing of the state enforce their positions.

      Why do you think there are suddenly 19 new/resurrected Internet bills that are like “the government needs the ability to monitor and record and totally ban every click and pixel of every American at all times of all devices without warrant or question FOR THE CHILDREN”

      Yeah it’s because they realize they’re cooked.

      Why do you think there is always suck outrage at “TikTok”? For all the reasons it sucks, they had far less control over TikTok than the other platforms, and it scared the shit out of them.

      America has been using our labor and wealth to do genocide and imperialism since the fall of the Nazis (edit:’far longer at home but we weren’t such prolific exporters until then) and they have mostly kept the wool over our eyes, but their little project has gotten out of hand and now it’s too ridiculous to hide.

      They would rather imprison us all than to fail, and it seems they’ll fucking try.

        https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/

        In its self-described “pied piper” strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new “mainstream of the Republican Party” in order to try to increase Clinton’s chances of winning.

        The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.” Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”
