I genuinely, deeply, do not understand why anyone lets her speak on these things. I’m honestly very surprised that she wasn’t kicked out of Democrat inner circles for being such a fucking loser and just for sucking.
She is quite literally the least qualified person on Earth to give advice on beating Donald Trump in an election. She’s the only person who’s lost an election to him! Why would you interview her on this? Why would anyone allow her to be involved in this campaign? The only things you should be asking her is “how does it feel to be history’s biggest loser?” I’m even more on the side of “the democrats want to lose” now, because why else would you take her advice?
She really is uniquely unlikable, it’s almost impressive. She’s so good at saying the worst possible thing in any given moment. I truly can’t think of a worse answer than the one she gave if your goal is to get people to vote for your guy.
Money... she's probably so hooked into the fundraising loops that ostracizing her would risk the DNC and Democratic Party losing a fuckton of cash. And since we know that winning and losing don't really matter to the political parties, only that they can keep the donor money rolling in...
That’s exactly what I mean though, why? Why don’t those fundraising loops kick her out for sucking so bad and being annoying?
If you’re a mega-rich white liberal donor, why would a call from her make you donate that sweet sweet cash? The incredibly unlikable woman who lost the layup election to the scary orange man? I just can’t fathom her being an effective fundraiser.
She’s the only person who’s lost an election to him!
It's worse than that. She actually built him up and made sure he'd be the Republican nominee. LOL. "The Pied Piper Strategy". Materially supporting the guy she now wants to convince everyone is literally the devil incarnate is worse than simply being "unqualified"; its downright depraved. Gaslighting of the highest order.
I am so angry at the naming of their little coup. It makes me sound like a nutjob for mentioning it to the libs who know nothing about the DNCs little (and ongoing with a different name) scam
Having the human equivalent of Leukemia telling me to do something is surely a strategy born out of rational heads that can check the pulse of the nation
Just mask off now, no more "democracy is where you choose your representative", now that quiet part is out loud, it's not your choice to make, "get over yourself"
I was thinking about this the other day. The fact that she isn’t using every minute of publicity she has to speak out against the electoral college is very telling. The fact that she won the popular vote in 2016 but lost the electoral college but still won’t speak out against the institution that caused that result, and is in fact advocating for continued participation in that broken system is very telling.
I was watching some clips from the 2016 election period and I'm genuinely baffled by how anyone could stand listening to her voice. Hillary is so utterly insufferably uncharismatic and is a husk of a human being. My 2016 self was probably still too much into my lib phase to really notice. At least Biden has that senile grampa persona and Obama is a faux progressive.
Before I read this, I had planned to vote for Biden. After reading this, I am still going to. But while I was reading this, I felt a brief but overpowering urge to stay at home on election day.
Last time I felt anything like this was November 8, 2016.
Only on a few curated topics are the voters actually allowed to vote. And these votes are between: "keep it as it is, or slide into more shittiness." There usually isn't an option for "improve on this metric" .
Biden lied about having seen photos of beheaded babies to enable the genocidal murder of tens of thousands of children, and you're going to endorse that
You know most people (even many nazis) would be embrassed to openly admit they're planning to wholeheartedly endorse genocide, but I guess lemmy libs are too racist to care
That the interview responds "I love that! Yeah, good!" and the crowd just cheers is so illustrative of the problem. You have a country where most people are disenfranchised and without political representation, and your message is just to insult them. Ok. Enjoy your loss in November.
Yo this is vile. Just horrid and vile. I hope more and more people understand anyone who says “get over yourself” doesn’t care about you at all. I have and will always hope the DNC. I hope “normie” people who would watch a late night show at least have a seed planted in their heart from viewing this. I hope this sort of comment from political elite is the seed and water for more radical thought to grow in the common populace. I hope regular katz get mad from this, mad enough to talk their neighbors.
