Sure is a good thing that she and her husband got the ball rolling for the Republicans! What would we do without deregulated and monopolistic media, Neo-liberalism globalization that gutted the middle class, deregulated markets that created the sub prime crisis of 2008, and a judicial system that punished people for being poor and/or BIPOC.

She was not wrong, she just was also complicit.

YUP. So much deregulation happened under the Clinton presidency and everyone sings his praises. He's a traitor to his constituents and country.

The legislative branch are just cowards, period. Don't like the way the SC has interpreted a law? No fucking problem: re-write the law. It's LITERALLY thier fucking job.

DMC: Run Biden 15 more times you say?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

It will be 2036 and AOC will make her presidential bid and the DNC will be like "guess we need to get the shovel to dig Biden back up"

It's Tricky

I guess more people should've voted for Bernie in 2020.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There were also the superdelegates.

[–] pfried@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

The superdelegates vote for whoever the primary voters vote for. https://www.politico.com/story/2008/06/superdelegates-surge-to-obama-010792

Ugh, and here I thought 3 was where it should have all ended. PS2 gameplay was fine, and the story had the 'ending' it needed!

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 25 points 1 month ago

Yeah. I remember saying this shit 10+ years ago too. Jesus fuck I'm tired....

[–] Spinoza@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know people were saying this since at least the 80s and I wasn’t even born. Hillary’s not just stating the obvious, shes rattling off old talking points of the dem platform.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

You’re telling me that dems have known about this problem for decades but did nothing but fundraise and campaign on it? How unlike them!

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn that's crazy, maybe you should have supported the popular progressive instead of getting the DNC to gg ez your primary for you lol.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know right! We showed her!!!! Her rich old ass is definitely going to suffer the consequences of our inaction now! LOL amirite!?!?

[–] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Her husband's been outed as a pedophile, her legacy boils down to being a whiny sore loser who ran hard right from even Obama's politics and failed, and she personally has ensured no one with the last name clinton will ever hold a political office ever again in the country.

As far as modern consequences for rich people in the US, that's really the best case scenario. She's not poor enough to get Luigi'd, and she's not dark enough to get arrested.

Realistically the same fate is the best case scenario we have for what will happen to Trump, who will never see a jail cell, and the rest of his billionaire friends.

The solution to being in an plutocratic oligarchy turning into a fascist oligarchy is not to support the oligarch that super duper promises not to do bad things to you, just everyone else in the world.

"Ben Ghazi and the Buttery Males" is still a 10/10 band name

The people who needed to hear it weren't listening while the rest of us were screaming.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If a Republican president can do it, so could Biden in order to prevent that from happening. Why didn't he? Why didn't Kamala run on stacking the courts in her favor?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Because the president needs the congress to approve those judges, and the last time team blue had both the presidency and the congress was when Obamacare was passed.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

which was watered down because we had people LIEBERMAN.

Uh what the fuck? Dems won both houses in 2020.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

You mean Romney's ACA? Cause Dems love to co-operate with Conservatives?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] TheYojimbo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She was a better candidate. Better than trump.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

That bar's so low, it's in the Earth's core.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE YOU FUCK

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good thing that's how the winner is decided

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LOL. The Electoral College would like a word lol

Oh yeah and remember that time in 2000 when the Supreme Court got to decide lol

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

And the Dems couldn't wait to concede to protect norms, and then lined up to kiss Bush's ass after 9/11, passed the Patriot Act, and even joined in gleefully to support the Iraq War.

And the GOP turned around and called them all terrorists regardless.

Not only are they immoral pieces of shit, they're also horrible at any form of strategy against the GOP.

That slogan was truly ahead of its time. It kinda works in 2026 in an ironic sort of way.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

they have no need, 6-3 is already a supermajority. thats why they have been brazen in the last 2 years repeal every case they can, they cant touch interracial relationships yet, because alot of gop are married to poc wives. they made sure thier scotuses arnt that old fart, if they are about to step down they replace it under 30days much like with RBG.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The tweet is from 2016

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This is false. Any president in US has the power to do this and in a proper democracy no president should have the power to meddle with the justice system. Sepaeatipn of power and all that.
