What I read here is 'go fuck yourself, this is our government and we will appoint whoever we want and you will like it.'
She just needs to STFU
-
That is consistent with the party's messaging from 2015-present, yes.
-
-
The lady's strategy was to prop up Trump and lost to him. I don't care about her opinions at all. I didn't forget she went around calling Black People Super Predators.

The Clinton's get a lot of heat for that, but it was literally Joe Biden's bill...
-
This protestor asked her about it at a fundraiser https://youtu.be/MN6iwqthZrU
-
-
Voters to Clinton: "Go Away! It's your fault we're in this mess to begin with."
-
Hillary says something stupid, everyone continues to not care what the fuck Hillary thinks about anything.
-
The amount of visceral anger in this thread seems to indicate that people seem to actually care quite a lot about what she says.
If people actually didn't care, they wouldn't have clicked on this.
-
We cared enough to tell this stupid loser to shut the fuck up and go away forever, but that's about it.
-
I clicked because I knew there would be people complaining about it, and those people need to stop being so goddamn idealistic.
These are the choices. They're shitty. They're always shitty. It's a shitty system of government, stop expecting it not to be.
-

-
If she had got over herself, Sanders would be in his second term
-
-
I mean, she's right and wrong at the same time.
People shouldn't have to get over it, but Democrats don't give a shit what voters want. They are using Trump as the big bad monster to force the candidates that they want, not the ones that the people want or deserve.
Biden would likely lose against any other candidate, the only reason he might win is because Trump is so terrible. They're exploiting their voters to get what they want.
-
Well, voters are not completely blameless. Democrats need to get their act together and build a compelling, non geriatric candidate who moves at least a bit further left of contemporary democrats. I understand it's massively challenging to run a presidential candidate that is "too progressive", but there's room to move, and voters crave it.
The problem is they aren't demonstrating it enough.
Magats are rabidly gobbling up every low and unheard of post, elected or not, frequently and loudly demonstrating their wishes. These are data points planners use to shape larger candidates.
Tldr: wake the fuck up democrats.

Fuck Hillary Clinton like 0.98x as much as fuck Trump
-
She all but delivered us Trump.
-
People buying into anti-Hillary propaganda is what delivered us Trump. Go ahead and read up and how she has chosen to dedicate her time and resources throughout her adult life. See if that matches your current view of her. Everyone claims to want politicians that aren't corrupt, but Hillary is a lesson in how much we hate those very politicians.
-
-
Iirc, she was touring public housing with a NY housing group. I'm assuming it was a photo op thing and the plants in the sink threw her off. People forget the Clinton's are dems from Arkansas. They're neoliberals, but from a state so poor they actually want public programs.
I like to shit on her, but she was a damn capable politician. I don't know anymore after 30 years of republican propaganda making sure everyone hated her. No one is immune to propaganda, but bitches get stuff done.
-
People forget the Clinton’s are dems from Arkansas. They’re neoliberals, but from a state so poor they actually want public programs.
And Hillary's father was a business owner in Chicago... And that's where she grew up. She moved to Arkansas after Yale.
She just acts like a Southerner as a PR move. As illustrated by people still thinking she was a poor girl from Arkansas when she lived a life of privilege before going to one of the best schools on the continent.
Now, Bills family wasn't well off.
But Hillary didn't marry him for money, she saw a smart charismatic man who would do well in politics and hitched her wagon to him.
She was already pretty well off.
-
-
To be fair to this image, I think I would also have that face when walking into a kitchen where they are growing whatever that is in the sink.
-
Wait she went into an ordinary Americans home? That sounds like... more than most politicians. I get her face looks shocked, but isn't this more of a positive thing. Being aware of the photo, I didn't think about it to much until now, but why is it such a bad thing? Gasp! She gasped. Yeah she didn't know that we all grow big plants in the sink. Now she does and that's more than 99 percent of congress. She still failed though, and that's because she sucked at spin.

Should have gotten over Bernie being more popular instead of having to collude with the DNC to win a fake primary
-
Listening to him speak today makes me both hopeful that he's still fighting for us, but sad for what could have been. He's one of a handful of politicians that understands and cares about the true issues facing the US, and he articulates those issues so perfectly: https://youtu.be/8C2iyUmHeag?si=Gu9ZnbWWSVKvMSsQ

-
this is not helping
-
She's really good at attacking the base, and seemingly not wanting to win over any votes.
-
-
I wish she would just go away.
-
That's rich coming from the woman who proped up and helped fund Trump. Shes more responsible for him than any single voter could be.
-
She's practically the most destructive person in American history with few exceptions.
-
Canadian here, who is aware of a lot of US politics, but not all. I'm confused about how she propped up and funded Trump. I know they were friends in previous years. Was this in business?
-
-
Stop giving this woman attention
-
Shut up and do what we tell you! This is what’s good for the corporate ruling class! You have the illusion of choice we give you, so go and vote for the two terrible choices we have given you and be happy.
-
Nonetheless a choice you must make, or just sit back and let it happen.
-
This isn’t about the value of your vote or whether to vote. It is about the continued poor quality of choices and the people who decide the candidates that run and are eventually voted on in the elections.
Party leadership and manipulation of candidates have led us to where we are now along with a disfunctional congress that pushes regressive policies.
Politicians understand and manipulate the votes in every way possible. Gerrymandering is a great example of this, no opponents can win those districts as its a mathematical impossibility.
They have figured out they need to oen the courts and local governments that pass voting laws and control the election process.
Those are the real issues that need to be addressed.
-
If you're not in a swing state then your vote is about as valuable as spitting into a trashcan.
-

-
You can't expect a sitting President to not re-run for office. Of course Biden is going to run.
In Trump's mind, and in the minds of a lot of his supporters, he is the "rightful" sitting President, so of course he's going to run too.
Are they the BEST choices? Of course not. But they are THE choices.
-
Well… yeah you can. Why can’t you?
-
Huh? You find it unreasonable that someone sitting in the most powerful elected position on the planet, with the opportunity to extend that seat, would choose to run again???
-
you can't expect him to, no.
you can WANT him to. you can be pleasantly surprised if he does.
but expect him to? come on.
-
You can expect it if you want to. You can expect whatever you want. It's just your expectations won't mirror reality.
-
Because nobody tells someone at that power level what to do.
They can choose, on their own, not to run like Johnson did in 1968. But no outside influence can or should tell a President they can't run.
-
-
And you know what should happen? There should be actual primaries. But they're not even pretending at this point.
-
You don't have real primaries for a sitting President. You just don't. See any previous election ever. Trump 2020, Obama 2012, Bush 2004, etc. etc. etc.
They lead the party for a reason.
On the Republican side this year, they TRIED to primary Trump and, well, you see how well that worked out.
-
-
-
She really only ever makes things worse.
-
Pokemon Go fuck yourself.
-
"You know what would help? For me to wade in." -Hillary Clinton, for some reason
-
You first!
-
Ah TheHill. Born in the fires of 2016, raised on a steady diet of normalization and sailing smoothly into the new clicky horse race as some kind of established outlet.
Well, kudos, I guess. You are, in fact, still around. So. Yeah.
-
We need to vote D, but her opinion is not relevant to anything and the media should not be reporting on it. She and her neoliberal support system in the DNC have caused so much damage.
-
Stop supporting them by voting D, then.
They don’t change if you just post online about it and then keep giving them the only support they care about.
It’s like saying “I’ll never support this fast food chain that makes hamburgers out of babies!” But then you go there for every single meal. Do you think they care about what you’re saying?
-
Fuck right off, we see through you. Everyone knows the nuances of a two-party system at this point. You are not clever.
-
-
-
Such a nasty woman.
-
Wow. Tone deaf much?
-
"Stop caring and you won't care anymore"
Yeah, not helpful in any way.
-
Hey Hilary. Fuck off and shut up. Fuck Israel.
-
Hillary Clinton's "help" can only be a detriment.
-
Remember this? https://youtu.be/ydx8C5eMH4I
"Having said all that, why aren't I 50 points ahead?" - Hillary
-
I don't think anything can top my favorite Hillary moment ever. I still regularly laugh until I cry when I watch it. It hurts so good.
-
-
Yes Madam Never President. NPOTUS if you will
-
Clinton is reportedly set to host a Broadway-themed fundraiser with “Hamilton” star Lin-Manuel Miranda on Wednesday.
Another sign that Hillary is forever stuck in 2016 lol. Will corporate Dems ever move on from milking Hamilton dry?
-
-
I was told in no uncertain terms by someone on the fediverse that you're not allowed to complain about something everyone chooses. We just have to put on a smile, eat our shitty meal, and pretend we like it.
Yay democracy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Get over yourself,” Clinton responded when comedian Jimmy Fallon asked what she would say to voters “upset” about the choice they face in the 2024 presidential election, during his late-night NBC program Monday, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
“One is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart and really cares about people,” Clinton said, describing Biden.
The other, she said, “is old and has been charged with 91 felonies,” referring to the legal woes Trump has and continues to face.
Clinton, formerly Trump’s political rival in the 2016 presidential election, has also previously hit the former president over his legal woes, saying he was the “only person who could say they were better off four years ago,” in a post last month on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Multiple indictments and half a billion dollars in civil liability later, pretty much the only person who can say they were better off four years ago is Donald Trump,” Clinton said.
Clinton is reportedly set to host a Broadway-themed fundraiser with “Hamilton” star Lin-Manuel Miranda on Wednesday, held at a performance of “Suffs: The Musical,” which the former secretary of State is co-producing.
The original article contains 267 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 27%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I hate this bitch. For many years. Would never vote for her or listen to her BS.
-
Sexism
-
Hey if someone calls black people in 1996 "super predators" and brags about getting rapists off on their charges by making a 12 year old rape victim seem untrustworthy just enough to break a unanimous vote, I think there may be other reasons to hate a person other than their gender.
Not saying the OP you replied to isn't sexist but there is plenty of reason to call Hillary Clinton an absolute cunt.
-

-
-
Here she goes again, it’s 2016 all over again!
-
I've heard the reaction from the left on this already, and it's all too predictable, but....she's right.
-
Not to defend a Clinton, but she makes some good points if you actually read the article
-
Na. It still basically amounts to “get over yourself, our guy good the other guy bad”. It completely ignores legitimate grievances of the Biden administration.

Yeah, we're being expected to accept second worst as good.
It completely ignores legitimate grievances of the Biden administration.
Completely ignoring legitimate grievances is kinda the party's whole thing.
-
Deciding to vote against Biden (or not vote for him) because you have legitimate grievances against him is completely ignoring Trump.
-
-
Thank you. Not the biggest fan of the Clintons, but she said the same thing everyone on here says every day. Sucky choice, but one guy is an outright crook, so just vote.
This is an appearance on a comedy show to promote her new show, not a formal press conference anyway.
I was going to stay out of this one, but I'm getting tired of Lemmy politics being even worse than Reddit.
-
-
Almost all these commenters are complaining, but I've had so many people tell me the exact same thing when I talk about third party voting.
This is literally actually just sexism, I don't really see any other reason for everyone to be suddenly hating on this comment when it comes out of Hilary Clinton's mouth, but turn around and upvote the exact same comments on Lemmy every time this topic comes up.
-
If you run into a version where Bill is saying it, and he may very well be, I'll happily hate it too. There's a flavour difference between some "In this house we believe in Science" sign in the yard capital L liberal saying it and an establishment ghoul on the caliber of (either) Clinton

She’s so terrible. Like why does she even speak to the media? Lady shut the fuck up. You literally ruined the country with your hegemonic wet dream.
Fucking loser.
