No one likes you or your opinions, Hillary. Your time was over when you lost to Piggy. That was 11 years ago. Now just stfu.
This is how I know she has no shame. If I had lost to the orange kiddie fiddling rapist (in what was the easiest race to win in a long time) then I could never face the world because of the shame.
It would be unbearable for me.
I'd live as a hermit for the rest of my life, and on my death I'd just use the funeral as a stage to apologise for allowing the disgusting blob of a cunt to win.
I can't believe people still pay her to speak at these events. What a waste of money.
What a fucking massive twat. No wonder bubba went gay for Trump.
Hillary Clinton is literally a psychopath
She should Pokemon Go the fuck out of politics.
She's not in politics. No one voted for her, how sad is it say you lost to Donald Trump?
More like Pokemon Go to the grave
gee maybe you should ask your mentor, arch fucking ghoul nixon enabler Henry Kissinger for some advice IN HELL
The former US secretary of state described it as “serious problem for democracy”, remarking that when she attempted to have “reasonable discussions” with young people, it was challenging because “they did not know history, they had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda".
Look, lady, at some point the prior history doesn't matter. The history we're experiencing right the fuck now is a single day, a single attack, by Hamas responded to by two fucking solid years of calculated extermination and nullification of the Palestinian people.
It doesn't fucking matter what happened thirty god damned years ago when the average age in Gaza before Oct 7th 2023 was fucking sixteen! Guess what Hillary you fucking idiot, 16 year olds haven't been alive long enough to have had anything to fucking do with that history!
The fucking audacity of her ass to be talking about the "history!"
Of all people, this bitch deserved to lose to Trump. She even used her connections to promote him in the media because she was fucksure she would end up in the general election against Jeb Bush. That's what you get for fucking over Bernie Sanders!
Well I mean even if you do look back historically Israel took the land from the Palestinians and displaced like 700,000 of them.
That is why that war will never, ever end. They stole that land. It wasn't theirs.
I like how they leave out that part of history though. Don't wanna talk about that or you're antisemitic which is absolutely bullshit.
Steal peoples land and then act all surprised when generations of them want you to die and get their land back. Seems simple enough.
Agreed. These "centrists" can go sit on a cactus
We need to stop calling them centrists and call a spade a spade. They're conservatives, plain and simple.
I don’t even like using that stupid left-right sliding scale to describe American politicians anymore. That’s not what most of these people are. They are just conduits for oligarchy to filter money from the working class to the elites and don’t hold any real personal ideology beyond that. They campaign on divisive social issues but for the majority of them that’s really where it truly ends within the context of political ideology as a working class man OR as someone who studies the philosophy of politics understands it.
You've successfully and correctly identified the problem with using the "left-right sliding scale" to describe America as being that there is no left.
Something something a liberal something a fascist bleeds
Go fight Donnie over Bubba's dick and shut the fuck up. Genocide is bad, mmmkay? Can't believe its hard to grasp.
It's only hard to grasp because her and the entire politician class have been receiving ~~donations~~ bribes from Israel for decades.
Yes American politicians value money and shareholder value more than human lives. They prove it every single day and not just foreigners either they hate the US citizens just as much.
I have the feeling that she targeted too the same preys
I spent two years in college studying the history of the Middle East and specifically the conflict between Israel and Palestine. I have never been on TikTok. Then where the fuck did my pro-Palestine views come from? I know the history very well and Israel has been unreasonable assholes from the beginning. Yes, Hamas and Palestine need to stop leading with violence, but when you're fighting for your country's literal existence it's a bit of a moral grey area. The whole situation is a shit show and it infuriates me that Israel has so much support from the US. Without the 800lb gorilla backing them I feel like they'd have been forced to negotiate a reasonable solution long ago. Instead, here we are with a wildly disproportionate response that is 2 years long and the US has effectively cheered them on.
Hilary and her entire generation of politicians can get fucked.
Prime example of how boomers lack media literacy skills.
Ah yes, because some historical context will certainly justify the genocide.
Historical context show that palestinians was victim of settler colonialism and ethrnic cleansing
Even then it doesn't. Palestinians have been there for thousands of years. They didn't just appear overnight. They're the remnants of Canaanites and Jews who stayed after they were exiled. Many of them adopted Islam and Arab culture during the conquests. Arabs didn't come in and wipe out the indigenous population and replace them. Same with Egyptian, Libyan, and Turkish people. That's why they're not all the same and have drastically different cultures and languages, and not just standard Arabic.
I think the Google Maps view of the whole fucking Middle East is why people support Palestine
"There didn't used to be a hole there....something ain't right"
Better yet, just look at historical maps of the region and see how long the Zionist effort has been going on. She’s out of touch and THATS WHY SHE LOST TO TRUMP.

That's weird because I've never been on that app, am older, and probably hold some similar views. So where are my views coming from? You just have to have a heart and then you can see things correctly. It's only fair to hold standards against everyone. Israel doesn't get a pass. Not on morality.
Hillary... You're barely a has-been at best, and Bill cuck at worst. Kindly fuck off into obscurity and even more irrelevance, nobody wants to hear your dog shit, conservative opinion.
Fuck you bitch. We should have had Bernie Sanders as our president, instead we got Hilary as a failed candidate
While I concede it's not only possible, but in fact, likely that many people are unaware of the 10 volume set of War and Peace size novels which recount the history of conflict in the Middle East, I find it incredibly out-of-touch that she can't understand that the starving and murder of an entire ethnic group is considered abhorrent by a large amount of the youth.
We don't need to know every facet to know genocide when we see it. I'm so tired of the constant Israel propaganda here in the states. You'd think they were the superpower and we were completely beholden to them in every way with the amount of kowtowing our politicians do. It's insane.
Even if you read the history of Palestine for the last 100 years it only reinforces that Israel is a far-right apartheid state hellbent on the extermination of the inhabitants of that land in the name of Jewish supremacy.
Is she seriously stuck on the whole "Israel doesn't bomb hospitals" crap?
Of course it's other people who are misinformed, don't understand the context and have a one-sided view of the war. It can't possibly be her.
Why are these asshats so reluctant to admit that Isreal is in the wrong?!?
💰💰💰
Hillary should worry more about Bill being in the epstein files and stfu
She should have divorced his ass years ago but she had her own ambitions. Fuck her
She needs to Pokemon gtfoh
Hillary Clinton's mouth to blame for everyone's disdain of Hillary Clinton.
She might be right about young people not having much context as a general rule - I've seen this kind of Dunning-Kruger thing before when someone in their teens/twenties first comes across something and they start to have some political awakening. Think of the way that some people fall into the most maximalist of positions on the spectrum and how cringe it often seems, often to later versions of that very person, LOL.
Anyway, I think the cracks on Israel being some united front on our "special relationship" with them and as far as the average U.S. citizen supporting it w/o question have been starting long before TikTok was even a thing.
And most of the people I've talked to over the years, or things I've seen others write/say online has had plenty of context. Hell, Chomsky has been out there talking about this for decades. It's just that the gatekeeping corporate media chokehold on people being able to talk to one another about this, en masse has been loosened, starting in the late 90s.
Used to be someone could yell "anti-semite" at anyone questioning us doing Israel's every whim and that was the end of the conversation. That tactic's effectiveness started to erode with the rise of the 'net. Are some of the people that obsess about Israel/Gaza and Jews/Palestinians anti-semitic? Of fucking course they are. Is everyone? Hell no.
What a useless ankle. I mean that in the Arkansas view of that word. Another hateful useless person who wont accept that their version of history is a lie. The document that gave isreal statehood also gave the same for Palestine and they have never honored it. That is the history of it you useless piece of shit. Another horrible person who has no idea how horrible they are.
I've been watching TikTok and didn't even know it.
She's not wrong about folks not knowing a lot of the history and background, but she is kind of missing the disproportionate collective punishment aspect of things. Netanyahu is forming peoples' opinions.
Remind me of that history and background.
Who took whose land again?
