    They probably worked harder than they had to. She really is an unlikable piece of shit.

      Ridiculously qualified, intelligent, experienced, liberal as we could hope for at the time.

      Just so unlikable. And shrill!! Oh, and not even a man. Pfft.

        She lost the most winnable election she could hope for. Must be the Russians.

          She wasn’t running against Woodrow Wilson. That’s literally the most winnable race as long as Taft doesn’t spoil the vote.

        One thing not being mentioned here is that people were tired of establishment politicians who don’t change anything. So many people voted for Obama hoping for change, but then said “fuck it” and voted for Trump.

          Yes. Very stupid, very gullible people. We have a lot of them. Because of reasons.

        Hilary Clinton is an extremely condescending political elite that seems to have about as much humanity as a lizard.

        She’s a perfect representation of the DNC.

          Disagree. She’s spent the vast majority of her life in politics to do some good. As a woman, she broke a lot of rules and is still to this day mercilessly attacked for it.

          Was she so perfect even the shitheaded communist idiots loved every single thing she did? Astoundingly, unbelievably, Nope. Was she the best choice for president of all the candidates on the ballot in 2016? Yes. Without a doubt

          Is she forever going to be shit on for not being perfect in every way to all people? No. Just until the current living generations are dead.

          Whatever. People need to shit on her, go for it. Shit yourselves a bust of Hillary you can shit on. You can meet all sorts of wonderful Limbaugh fans in there.

            Lol I don’t think it’s a good thing if it takes everyone dying for your reputation to improve. That is a pretty wild argument.

            Also, you’re just calling everyone that supports communism a shit headed idiot? For real?

            And she was a terrible, weak candidate that brought nothing progressive to the table. That’s why she lost to Donald Trump.

            It was painfully obvious that Bernie was the better candidate. He energized people. He would have stomped on Trump.

            But instead the DNC had to give Hilary “her turn” and now we’re in this mess.

            Being an angry Hilary supporter is ridiculous and honestly kind of funny.

              It is a pretty wild argument. It’s an incredibly dishonest and fucked-up thing right-wing media has done.

              Also, you’re just calling everyone that supports communism a shit headed idiot? For real?

              No, not everyone. Just those too precious to help others, and those who’ll sow discord because they don’t understand how American politics works.

              And she was a terrible, weak candidate that brought nothing progressive to the table. That’s why she lost to Donald Trump.

              She was unelectable. I called it in 2012. But she wasn’t terrible or weak. She actually did very well as far as building a base. And she was damned progressive, I seriously hope you fuckers are just tripping balls all the time ffs. “Nothing progressive”, you either know shit or that’s a goddamned lie.

              It was painfully obvious that Bernie was the better candidate. He energized people. He would have stomped on Trump.

              Preach it, I was there. In this magical fantasy world where politics follows our monarchical decrees, Bernie would have been our guy. Enough fools didn’t agree. Yes, even if we account for DWS’s fuckery. Hestill didn’t carry enough primary votes. Ok? It sucks. Yeah.

              But instead the DNC had to give Hilary “her turn” and now we’re in this mess.

              Yep. Bob Dole - same thing there. JEB! was supposed to get his, but that’s how this shit was always run. Listen, what these whiny shitheads fail to realize is that national party politics - the kind that actually function, that change things - are the same no matter what the platform is.

              They got a worn copy of Das Kapital and a handful of Stop Oil soup cans? Great! They’ll have the same challenges, the same fight, and the same bullshit. Because politics is not new. And being a precious Li’l Progressive who just can’t bring themselves to help stop fascism is just the first of many failures to endure while they learn all the things everyone has been telling them the whole time.

              Being an angry Hilary supporter is ridiculous and honestly kind of funny.

              Yeah cause fighting trump is a goddamned knee-slappin’ HOOT. How great to have violent racist idiots on one side and arrogant, naïve chucklefuck “progressives” or whatever the fuck they are on the other.
