It really shows how out of touch they are when they think the only problem voters have with Biden is that he’s old

[–] [email protected] 84 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They know it's not the only problem voters have, they intentionally frame it as an age issue to take away from the actual grievances.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's the same strategy they used with Hillary, only there it was gender instead of age. Worked great last time!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago

Yup turns out of you have a problem with repeatedly destabilizing third would countries turning them into humanitarian crisis time and time again its because you're sexist.

Wow such effective messaging. Hard to believe she lost in 2016 with these amazing skills

[–] [email protected] 74 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

She's the personification of the democratic party.

Being called "compassionate and effective" by the woman who:

A. Is behind Libya

and B. Lost to Donald fucking Trump

is not exactly high praise in my book

[–] [email protected] 70 points 7 months ago

Yeah let me ask Gaza about that socalled "compassion".

[In butthead's voice] Can you like- Shut up?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 7 months ago (5 children)

compassionate

Didn't he once yell at someone and call them fat for daring to question his Union stance?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 7 months ago

A Union stance that immediately crumbled under the slightest corporate pressure.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

For the Iowa farmer it was both a question about his advanced age and the alleged nepotism hire of Hunter in Ukraine. Biden said what sounded like "look fat" but his campaign claimed he said "look, facts...".
He did call him a damn liar and too old to vote for him though.

He also argued with a factory worker about his 2A stance and called him full of shit.

Eight years later and she's learned nothing. No change of messaging. Incredible politics genius shit.

"The democratic party can not fail, it can only be failed" but it's a 100% genuinely held belief

Yeah real compassionate to Gaza I see. Literal moron.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 7 months ago

Please, by all means tell on-the-fence voters to get over themselves, surely that will sway them to vote for Biden.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I support Hillary Clinton being a part of Biden's re-election campaign so long as it requires her to be around Biden's dogs for an extended period of time.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago

I just hope she gets the credit she deserves for the outcome.

"Somehow losing to trump twice in a decade" should be the first line of her obituary

She is addicted to losing elections, even those she's not actively participating in!

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago

absolute banger campaign messaging.

"I do not support this administration due to its very public policies and actions."
"Get over yourself. Pokemon GO to the polls!"

i never thought of it that way, millionaire grandma, esquire. gotta go straight ticket the ballot now.

She is light itself. She is dancing, always dancing. She never sleeps. She says she will never die.

I'd be mildly surprised if this added even a single vote to Biden's side.

The net direction might be a loss of votes as this bullshit makes more people check out

I would literally use up a genie wish just to get liberals to crucify her over the pied piper bullshit. It just will not stop bothering me that literally not one of them know or give a shit that she literally HELPED TRUMP GET ELECTED IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE AS PART OF A SOCIOPATHIC PLAN THAT BACKFIRED.

SHE GAVE US TRUMP, DIRECTLY, SHE IS TO BLAME.

Fucking tar and feather her for it god damn fuckers

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When you bring it up you just get downvoted on reddit-logo with no rebuttal. They refuse to engage with it

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago (4 children)

It is literally maddening. Like, the biggest smoking gun in the history of political bullshit. Hillary Clinton boosted Trump. They planned on it. It was a dumb plan and they did it anyway and because of that, more than Hillary actually losing that election to begin with, she is directly responsible for Trump's popularity, his election, and every awful thing attributable to him. Hillary fucking did it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (3 children)

They keep doing it in smaller races too. If you were to donate to the Democratic party, there is a big chance your money will be directly spent on the biggest psycho running in some local campaign..

What’s amazing is that had Hillary instead gone against any Republican other than Trump (like Rubio or Jeb), she waltzes into an easy win. She boosted literally the only person who could beat her, in the end.

Okay, Hildawg. How many has he been convicted on?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

Seriously they keep claiming to be the only people who will oppose them and then, very notably, not doing a God damn thing to oppose him.

There you go, Hill-Dawg! Keep sayin the shit that'll make Biden's poll numbers go down! amerikkka-clap

I believe in you! Tank the Dems!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago

Biden really showing his compassion in Gaza and Ukraine right now. Arming Israeli fascists carrying out genocide in Gaza, and arming Ukrainian fascists sacrificing their country and continent at the behest of the USA is very compassionate. Very compassionate of the US to bomb the Nordstream pipelines and kill Europe's energy independence.

She has given her touch of death. I am 100% convinced Trump will won now.

average democratic voter outreach: an unpopular surrogate who lost an election twenty years ago gives an interview telling voters to "pull up your big boy pants and stop whining"

What a thread. There are some serious pockets of the dem mindset in there.

---

It's been eight fucking years the total number of votes doesn't fucking matter. But the old chestnut is unkillable.

Yeah, she was a horrible candidate.

And yet--more people voted for her than the other guy. In any sane system that'd be a win.

---

"But it would be sweet..." but, oh, - the GOP are the boogiemen! Yeesh.

Same could be said of this election tbh. Dems don't tell us anything except 'we're not trump....isn't that enough?' it's not enough anymore.

I only vote blue but it would be sweet to see someone do something about the cost of living… or food prices… or the housing market… or insurance… or healthcare. I know it isn’t as simple as just doing something about it. Our representation is so inefficient, largely due to the total fucking morons running the right.

---

Trump is the boogieman.

She is wrong, though. People mad about this election are not egocentric. You can vote for Biden and understand Trump is awful while still loathing this broken system and the awful choices the establishment gives us. Hillary wants us to just shut up and fall in line

shut up and fall in line

The alternative is a man who literally said he's going to be a dictator - [I'm not going to be a dictator] "other than day one", [I won't abuse my power] "except for day one".

Vote for the person with the chance of winning who doesn't say he's going to be a dictator, and after you're done with that work on fixing the "broken system" and finding people who aren't "awful choices the establishment gives us".

This "I'm-too-pure-for-anything-but-perfection" mindset is going to get a dictator elected.

And yet--more people voted for her than the other guy. In any sane system that'd be a win.

I mean, I agree with this sentiment. But constantly coming back to the Democrats, when they refuse to do so much as implement DC Statehood because its just too hard!!! is fucking pathetic.

Dems don't want a sane system.

It is pretty wild that Republicans have only won the popular vote in one (1) election in the past 35 years. Democracy btw

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

The nature of the Electoral College by way of the US Senate. This is quite literally as intended. America is a coalition of states that only really started functioning as a cohesive single unit in the wake of the Great Depression.

The fact that a handful of rural fiefdoms still command as much power as they do in the national congress is a large part of what keeps the country gelled together. If Floridians and Idahoians weren't hooked up to the Federal Cash Transfer pipeline, I suspect we'd see a lot more open reactionary insurrections as Californication of the national legislature moved the country's social policy away from its reactionary roots.

"Puck up that cracked vase and smash it on the ground, once you've done that you can worry about fixing the crack."

Do they actually not understand that telling people who think the system is broken to shut up and participate in the system is a bad strategy or do they genuinely just not give a shit.
