Can she like... stop being a public figure?

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 61 points 7 months ago

I wish. She gave us Trump. Irony.

The DNC screwing Bernie and voter abstention gave us Trump.

This chuckle headed twat is the reason we have Trump.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 45 points 6 months ago

The more despicable Trump is proven to be, the more pathetic she looks for losing to him.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

She will go down as being the only person to ever lose a federal election to a carnival barker

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

looks at Biden's poll numbers in states he can't afford to lose and stubborn insistence on not changing the unpopular course of action that caused them

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

I hope she's the only one. But dammit, Biden's tryin'.

It's almost impressive the levels and varieties of tone-deaf a single person is capable of.

No, just no, you were not right Hillary. Just go away please

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 62 points 6 months ago

Read the room Hill-dawg: no one likes you or is buying this horribly designed shit. You are the reason the United States is at 50/50 odds of going full fascism because you bet on yourself. Bad bet. Go away now

Would Hillary have been a better president than Trump?
Yes, absolutely, without question. 100,000% better.
Is Hillary more likable than Trump?
That's up for debate.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 6 months ago

"Rich old white woman so self-absorbed that she's less likable than an incoherent, ugly, selfish, geriatric, Nazi. More at 11."

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Trump is charismatic and funny, thats why he was on tv. If only people didnt take him seriously or give him actual power. Let me remind you that /r/the_donald was a joke subreddit.

Hillary has no charisma. Also her campaign literally promoted Trump, because she thought he would have been an easier opponent. She is smart and capable(or was, she is kinda getting older nowadays) but her political positions are abhorrent. She could have been the perfect "reasonable republican" candidate.

She has never been right, SHE alone is the reason we have to contend with Trump.

Oh, look... Kissinger Jnr. has shared her 2-cents.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

She is the reason Trump won and Bernie simultaneously got axed.

The voter turnout was poor and I'm convinced it's gonna be even more atrocious this year.

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

The only reason Bernie was axed was because the DNC axed him. Bernie is too progressive for democrats.

Crawls back out from under her stuffy old bridge to make a buck and stroke her own ego.

And yet she still can't fathom that she lost in 2016 to a reality TV host because of her unlikability. Nope, couldn't be that. Must be sexism, the Russians, Bernie bros, hell throw bigfoot in there somewhere.

[-] Reptorian@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 months ago

The Bernie bros thing is funny because more Bernie voters voted for Hillary than moderates voted for Hillary. And it was moderates the reason Hillary lost.

Was she right to spend campaign money in Texas instead of swing states?

Oh just fucking go away Hillary. You're time in the shade is done when you ignored everyone telling you to stop taking the battle ground states for granted and were losing ground there while you quixotically attempted to win southern states you had no fucking chance in hell of winning, giving us Trump.

Fuck off and fuck you Hillary.

[-] 3volver@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

She is a part of the reason we got Trump in the first place. Could have had Sanders. The Democrat party is not all "good" in reality, and a growing part of me is starting to think they play into the Republican party's hands.

Trumps conviction is the best news we've had in months, if not years, and she ruined it in 48 hours.

I remember my father commenting to my mother when she was on the cover of Time or Newsweek during Billy's time in office. He remarked about how smug she looked. That's the word that came to mind reading this headline. Oh, wait, the thumbnail too. I wish she'd go away.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

She needs to fuck off permanently.
