I know you're trying to help Hillary but for everyone's sake I think maybe just laying low until November is the play here.

I came here just to upvote this comment. Thank you.

Oppression and autocracy that she partially enabled by thinking she could phone in her victory. She should just go away. Nobody wants to hear from her anymore.

[-] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 months ago

I don’t think she phoned it in. She ran a campaign that was ineffective against DT because she assumed things like competence and experience mattered.

[-] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 13 points 3 months ago

She couldn't be bothered to go to -- or even send staffers to -- Michigan. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547 Then repeat basically the same laziness with Pennsylvania and Wisoconson https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/trumps-road-to-victory/507203/ because she assumed the Rust Belt would just vote for her.

She demonstrably phoned it in.

Ah, the misogynistic punching bag that the left and right share. How noble it must feel to attempt to shout her down.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 3 months ago

"It was her turn" fucking ruined the Democrats.

If she was a man and had the same attitude, we'd all be shitting on him just the same.

It was her entitlement, not the fact that she's a woman.

[-] Whopraysforthedevil@midwest.social 25 points 3 months ago

Honestly, her gender is one of the few things I actually respect about her.

She's an entrenched neo-lib who thought herself so entitled to the presidency that she got her conference to shut down campaigns that actually had a chance while simultaneously neglecting to consider that the Midwest and rust belt exist and have legitimate grievances with the Democratic party.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Oh no, someone please think about the poor white millionaire's feelings.

[-] gsfraley@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I mean, kinda easily proven wrong by how much people love and rally around Harris. It was Clinton's condescending attitude and dearth of actual effort that soured people on her. It felt like she didn't care about the country at all, and just wanted to sit in the big seat.

Contrast to Harris, who expresses, you know, actual care and understanding for what people are going through, and suggests concrete plans even for the little things.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 37 points 3 months ago

Hillary please just shut up and keep doing your $60,000 speeches on Wall Street. No one will ever like you and you are poison for the Democratic Party

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

I would thank her to fuck off into the sunset.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Fuck's sake, who gave her a mic?!

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Shame she didn't feel the same way when she was running. Maybe she would have tried. Maybe she wouldn't have enabled Trump.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

STFU and please stay in your cave until after the election

[-] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

IDGAF what hillary clinton has to say.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I'll never take this prison labor enthusiast seriously.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Alright Hill-dawg... if you want to say something helpful please just get on stage and start talking about Benghazi and emails n' shit. The trumpanzees will lose their shit, and you can be a nice little lightning rod to redirect right wing hatred away from Harris.

Stop weighing in on current issues. No one wants to hear it.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Man. If 8 year old me had known that "political lightning rod" was a job my trajectory would have been VERY different

[-] Zeer0@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 months ago

As an expert on oppression and autocracy, she would know

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

Sit the fuck down Hillary! Nobody has ever wanted to hear from you.

[-] cabbage@piefed.social 5 points 3 months ago

There's that Al Franklen quote about Ted Cruz.

I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.

Reading this comment section made me realise I feel the same way about Hillary Clinton.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

That may be true but many people aren't turning up on election day to save democracy. They are turning up to vote to improve their material needs.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Well that was ordered wrong i assume

Autocratic freedom or democratic oppression?
