Quick! She NEEDS to Run for President! There’s NO WAY it Can Fail!
-The DNC Probably!
Nah, she’s way too young, and not a man.
Hillary Clinton needs to sit this one out holy shit. I remember her getting paid by bankers to make “speeches” when she was running for president.
I hate trump for all of his corruption. But holy shit she’s no better
No, she’s a lot better, but the bar Trump has set is that low.
I can’t remember who said it, but:
“Hillary Clinton represents everything wrong with American politics. Donald Trump represents everything wrong with America.”
She’s only better if you’re a fan of open air child sex slave markets
Haha that propaganda is shitpost quality. I cannot believe anyone is so gullible to eat that shit up.
I guess fucking Obama is gullible?
You’re just fucking ignorant of history.
Do you genuinely think Trump is any better in that regard? They were both friends with Epstein.
This is about Libya. Read a history book.
And yes, it is 100% her fault. Fuck, even Obama thought so.
So I can delete the part about Epstein and the comment will remain relevant then. Trump doesn’t care either.
Please give me some indication that you understand the context of what I’m talking about otherwise shut up and fuck off
Yo chill not everyone is American and fully knowledgeable on American politics. What are you referring to?
This is about the Libyan war, organized by Clinton, but driven by NATO and mostly the French.
You’re ignorant not of American history but of world history.
EDIT: next time you hear someone day that NATO is a defensive organization and has never invaded anyone, you will know that they’re either lying or ignorant.
Haha that propaganda is shitpost quality. I cannot believe anyone is so gullible to eat that shit up.
This is the comment you’re asking me to ‘chill’ about.
The dog shit one might have to scrap of the bottom of one’s shoe is a lot better than Trump.

Bro do you think any other person giving the exact same speech as Hillary would be paid that kinda money? The banks aren’t paying her for her oratory chops. It’s influence purchasing. Be serious.
I was sooo mad Debbie fucked over bernie when she ran the DNC. Honestly that might of been the beginning of the decline for them. Let’s hope they listen to voters.
The voters don’t pay like the donor class.
And democrats decided they prefer donations to votes.
The beginning of the end was when the blue dog Democrats took over the party.
It died with Paul Wellstone.
Now it is the party to protect the oligarchs.
No, getting paid by bankers is ABSOLUTELY a problem. Or did you forget what the bankers leading up to 2008 after they got beneficial legislation passed that let them fuck up the markets?
Bankers buy politicians to let them fuck up the economy and drain more money from everyone else they can.
Please cite the sources. And not propaganda.
Your definition of propaganda is anything you don’t agree with.
To the point that you literally think that Clinton isn’t responsible for Libya, and describe it as propaganda.
When she refused to release the text of those speeches it made some people go,“Hmmmm.”
The Bernie thing was bad as well as possibly the only fully fact checked story . But here we have people deciding between propaganda shitposts and a bigot sending people to literal death camps as what is worse. The people who eat the shitposts as fact and spread it around are officially worse than both candidates. They are just Russian bots.
Yeah, that so quaint! 25M. LOL. Trump’s net worth has increased by 4 BILLION since he took office THIS TIME. Fucking 25M over 10 years… “Those are rookie numbers!” No, not rookie numbers, flat out hardly a drop in the bucket. Sooo quaint. I’m sure her corruption is exactly the same as Trump’s! (Can you really type that without busting out laughing?)
So one could argue Trump has more dignity as he sold himself for more…
Corruption is corruption no matter if someone sells himself for 100, 100,000 or 100,000,000
All that tells me is that she’s bad at being corrupt, not that she’s some paragon of integrity.
I never said she was a paragon of integrity… but where she was picking up spare change left on the counter, Trump is robbing the register and looting the pension fund all at the same time. They are not the same.
Trump is bad. It’s not comparable.
Additionally 90 % of the shit spread about Hillary was from trump himself. And as you can see: he lies.
A lot.
She’s the wrong messenger. For most situations.
Now do the same for political donations and PACs
Any of her “definitely worth it” speeches, too.
Fuck off Hillary. Nobody asked you. You fumbled 2016 and gave us this asshole in the first place, and you should have the decency to hide in shame the rest of your miserable life.
deleted by creator
She can express it, but she needs to be prepared to be reminded that she was uniquely able to lose to trump in 2016, and her stealing the nomination from Sanders is one major contribution to why we are here
There’s a lot more reasons why we’re here than Hilary Clinton. If you can’t get over it we’re going to keep backsliding, again, and again, if we ever even make it out alive
Got damn, I didn’t know that. I apologize and retract the part of my statement about Hilary, but do maintain we might not make it out of this alive
The same Wikileaks documents also show that Hillary and the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie (very briefly mentioned in the article).
My favorite is the Bernie folks filed a lawsuit against the DNC for unfair practices against Bernie, and the court threw it out because as a private group the DNC could do whatever they want.
Not a one of us will make it out of here alive.
That’s a fact of life in this realm we must eventually experience.
She made Trump her pied piper because he was the only one she had a shot against and then she failed. Trump is quite literally Hillary Clinton’s fault. He would not have won 2016 if she hadn’t narcissistically demanded that it was her turn to be president.
Oh please. The DNC is done. We need to move on.
I wish parties would just die and that we can use a better voting system, but we need a path to get there.
That path doesn’t involve the DNC. Look at how they treated David Hogg, of all people.
Unless we have a left Tea Party. Just look at how successful the Tea Party was at forcibly taking over the RNC.
If the party is determined to keep making the same mistakes that they never addressed, they will continue losing. They seem fine with that.

Hillary and DWS stole DNC money and funneled it all to her campaign, and then rigged the nom on top with the superdelegates. If you don’t consider that stolen, maybe it is you who should also consider “being serious.”
deleted by creator
Ah, yes, let’s completely ignore the part where superdelegates were used to give her the appearance of an insurmountable lead before a single vote was cast.
No part of that election was run fairly. Stop pretending it was.
While you’re at it, maybe address the part where her campaign actively promoted Trump in his primary as a pied piper. Hillary Clinton is uniquely and singularly responsible for Trump becoming president.
deleted by creator
I’m also not the biggest Hillary fan, but she was uniquely positioned to be undeniably the most highly-qualified candidate for US President in history, having had experience as a US senator, First Lady, and Secretary of State…
So it’s not like she was a bad candidate (although I too would have preferred Bernie).
And hot take: what the DNC did to David Hogg is more overt that what they did to Bernie. I’m fucking done with this stupid party. Consider me radicalized.
The true radicalization is when you realize that being “highly-qualified” for the presidency should be disqualifying as it means you’re so well entrenched in the particular brand of pre-Trump American fascism.
Eh. Trump is very poorly qualified. Between the two main candidates in 2016, the choice was obvious. Policy aside, I still value competence as well.
Yes, I do want to see the democratic party shift left, work to repeal citizens united, all that. But I also think that actually being good at your job is important as well. If we elect a firebrand who’s radical, but who doesn’t know the constitution or how government works, then we risk just becoming Left MAGA (like MAGA but with guillotines). Which, ok, that would be an improvement over where we are now, but still.
Trump is absolutely poorly qualified, and terrible beyond that. I think fundamentally I believe more in politics and values than competence in navigating the systems of a white supremacist country.
With regards to a ‘left maga’ you say but still, but still what? If someone broke norms, rules, even laws in service of dismantling the prison industrial complex, jailed politicians in service of making right the genocide in Gaza, or instituted a state of emergency over climate change to align with the scientific consensus, would you argue that the norms of our country are more important?

So it’s not like she was a bad candidate
She lost to trump. The only reason she’s not the single worst candidate in US history is because Harris lost to him by a larger margin after everyone already knew what he was about.
“Yes she having cheated, but that cheating helped her win, and because she won, therefore she didn’t cheat”
Is some dumb fucking logic
Not when it involves the person ruining this country that she put in charge. She can fuck right off.
She didn’t put him in charge. The voters did. Own your shitty decision.
What decision? I worked against Trump entering office every step of the path. Hillary Clinton demonstrably did not. She propped him up during the 2016 primaries because she thought she would have an easier time beating him.
You’re the second account to tell me to take responsibility for Trump with no justification. Something smells.
Clinton beat the only candidate she cared about beating in 2016.
Facts are evading you here too?
She played a part. You’re being dishonest.
Wrong and dumb

You’re a sycophant defending the Democratic Party’s extremely authoritarian practices in primaries and blaming others for the sins the party and its elites.
It’s funny that these assholes ask those of us with no power to take responsibility while letting those people with power off the hook

She didn’t fumble anything. They wouldn’t allow Bernie to run is all it came down to and Hillary is one of the most corrupt out there. Perfect for office
The Clinton campaign in 2008 boosted the birther conspiracy shit that trump rode to power.
Her 2016 campaign boosted the man himself because she thought he would be easier to beat than Jeb Bush.
Americans would literally blame anyone but themselves for their stupid ass mistakes.
That’s american exceptionalism. Everyone except me.
She didn’t give you this asshole. You voted for him. That’s how voting works.
For the record, I did vote for her in the actual election, but that is an extremely oversimplified analysis of how Trump got elected.
Yeah, more people in the right states voted for him. But her and the DNC fucking with the primaries, offering zero conciliation to progressives and arrogantly assuming Trump didn’t stand a chance play a huge factor. For the vaunted “most qualified candidate ever” this was her race to lose, and blaming it on sexism is just a thought terminating cliche at this point.
Yes. You’re right, Hillary. Now, go away.
She needs to go get her own bribes
Looks at the Clinton foundation and the UAE

.ml never fail to take a criticism against Trump and whatabbout it towards a democrat
It’s been 9 years and centrists still can’t accept that no one likes HRC.
Centrists still believe Hillary was the most qualified and deserving person ever to run for president.
And there’s millions of them.
I fucking wish everyone hated Hilary Clinton. Then maybe she wouldn’t have walked into a NY Senate seat, much less the Dem Presidential nomination.
Centrists still believe Hillary was the most qualified and deserving person ever to run for president.
centrists just wanted her because she’s kissinger’s protege.
Wasn’t that proved to be outside of tenure?
So you think that having a slew of money coming to you while you are out of power right before an election you are expected to win means that that isn’t explicit corruption?
I have this really nice building for sale in New York that I have to sell for a really steep discount. Send me the money and we can meet up and I’ll sign it over to you. My loss is your gain.
Seriously, this is the stupidest attempt to justify corruption I’ve ever seen.
If only Qatar had delivered the plane to Trump on Jan 5th, 2025 there would have been no conflict of interest.
Huh. Funding dried up after she lost and wouldn’t have the political influence the funders thought they were buying.
Who’d have thought.
Did you look at the date of that article and think about it at all? You’re making my point for me.
You’re making my point for me.
Not every response here is an attack.

.ml never fail to take a criticism against Trump and whatabbout it towards a democrat
If they didn’t suck so much it wouldn’t be so valid of a criticism.
Get your own fuckin house together. Then we can talk.
not good that your guy is receiving $400 mil airplanes
Not my fucking guy. I don’t care about the fucking plane.
I want the democrats to stop pretending this is an episode of West Wing and play hardball. I want them to act like any of this matters. Because it actually matters.
What doesn’t do anything is finger wagging and gotya tweets. That kind of shit appeals to a insignificantly small demographic of Brunch Liberals and literally nobody else. They should be filibustering every single republican bill and denying every political appointment. Leadership should be stripping committee appointments and threatening primaries on turncoat dems. The entire party should as a singular unit be blocking everything they can. They should be aggressively promoting an alternative policy agenda with real tangible benefits for real people.
But they won’t do any of that. They’ll stand around cock-in-hand and wait for Schumer’s strategy of “give them everything they want” to payoff somehow (think trickledown) because the DNC is a corporation. They really aren’t bothered by all the disastrous shit Chump is doing because it benefits them too.
We blame you for him. You understand that, right? In our eyes, he’s your guy.
Trying to make leftists feel bad about Trump doesn’t work. We believe (And have the fucking receipts) that it is the DNC’s (And the Clintons) corruption that is at fault that Trump is President. Again.
The Democratic Party died with Paul Wellstone.
You understand that, right? In our eyes, he’s your guy.
centrists prefer trump over anyone to their left.

As sure as the turn of the worlds.
All these pushes to keep Hillary relevant is so tone deaf. Waiting for the day some doofus tries to tell me why we can’t find better representation from the 350,000,000 people in the united states.
I don’t see her running for 2028… where are you even seeing this?
Sorry, did I say that?
No one is trying to make her politically viable.
Just like during her campaign
AY-YO 🙏 self-five
Who are these people coming out in defense of Hilary in 2025?
The people who aren’t so ignorant to think she is trying for office in 2028.
I said nothing about running her for office.
That was the impression I got from what you wrote as well. Could you try saying it another way? Because it seems some of us aren’t getting it.
Why do people want to keep Hilary relevant?
Right. I think a lot of people wonder about that. But you seemed to be driving at a point. Specifically this bit:
Waiting for the day some doofus tries to tell me why we can’t find better representation from the 350,000,000 people in the united states.
What did you mean by this if you weren’t implying she was going to run again?
Who’s pushing her? She posted on Bluesky and it’s being shared. There’s no conspiracy here.
Why aren’t they sharing my post from bluesky?
So we can’t just appreciate the meaning of the words because she’s someone you don’t like? She didn’t end her post with “and that’s why you should vote for me in 2028”, she’s simply stating a fact.
Tell me you didn’t vote for Kamala because she was a woman without telling me you didn’t vote for Kamala because she was a woman harder.
More because she is deeply corrupt and her accusing Trump of corruption, while true, is not aimed at reducing corruption. It is done to distract from her corruption.
They allow Fox News viewers in here? Fucking yuck. Go back to Reddit brown shirt.
And you’re apparently unaware of the Clinton foundation and the UAE.
Go read some history books.
Weak, try harder
Never gonna “appreciate” genocidal imperialists.
And no, gender doesn’t make it ok.
Ah yes the sound logic of blaming everyone in a country for the actions of that country.
Applying that line of thinking to WWII Germany would mean the victims of the Holocaust were to blame for the holocaust. As that would be an offensive and moronic line if thinking I think it us safe to reject it in both cases.
“I refuse to acknowledge the veracity of knowledge because it came out of someone I dislikes mouth” is some real mouth breather shit. Go back to Reddit loser.
Just because I don’t disagree with her on literally every issue doesn’t mean that her words worth my time either.
I’m sure JK Rowling and I agree on something, but I still want her to keep all of her opinions to herself, not just her problematic ones. Because she has a hard time telling the difference.
I don’t want to hear anything from a hypocrite.

You’re spreading Propaganda Meanwhile trump is sending to death camps,.
Yea, you aren’t just sexist. You’re all the bigotry that is trump now.
Lol, we’re back to “any criticism of Hillary Clinton is sexism”? I could’ve sworn it wasn’t 2016 anymore.
I mean, it’s not like centrists have changed for the better since then.
No moron, we’re at the “words coming out of the mouth of someone you dont like doesn’t automatically make them false”, did you pay attention in kindergarten?

And somehow all the insults about Hillary have to do with her gender.
She would know, she was bought by two dozen corporations
Hillary was targeted by at least as much politically motivated investigations into her affairs as Trump got, and they all ended up going nowhere, whereas Trump got convicted of 37 felonies. But that doesn’t seem to stop MAGAts rushing to post “crooked Hillary” and make suspiciously vaguely worded accusations every time the opportunity arises.
Notice how they never actually go into detail, because doing so would then require them to show evidence, so it’s only ever “she was bought by the corporations” and “she knows all about corruption”.
I mean
yeah
But also
she was bought by two dozen corporations
so
Say what you want, her coronation as D candidate in 2015 over a much more popular Bernie Sanders led to a weak turnout by disenchanted D voters and Trump’s victory in 2016.
Whether she is a murderer/ felon or not, she can take her opinion and shove it
How about this for evidence? Taken from M1ch431 elsewhere in this thread
The original source is a verified, leaked email (dated April 23, 2015) from her 2016 campaign. The DNC plan was attached in the email and can be found here. The specific quote is from Salon.
Yeah, is this the information Julian Assange leaked. yeah fuck that guy too, I sure as hell ain’t voting for her and neither will you, so I don’t know why we’re arguing
holy shit dude imagine @ing someone for exposing truth
on the fediverse of all places
The guy is a Russian asset if you haven’t noticed
So wait, you only like truth when it comes with good intentions?
Truth doesn’t have intentions, it simply is
Me, I like facts. I don’t give a fuck where they come from as long as they’re true.
Shit, imagine being like “yeah, it’s true she did all this, but I don’t care because the guy that told me was skeezy”
I’m more of a big picture guy and the instability and distrust this man has injected into our political system Just makes him a Russian asset to me. Nothing more nothing less.
Oh no, better stop being nakedly corrupt Trump or you might get sLaMmEd again
Hillary is just jealous she has to hide and do it slowly for years whereas Trump doesn’t give a single fuck and do it the obnoxious way for 2 times more money.

Nothing wrong with speaking from experience.
I would really appreciate this twisted timeline we’re in featuring the Clintons openly acknowledging that they know how corruption works from experience as a way to derail the current corruption train that we’re all tied down in front of. The writers need to demonstrate that they haven’t completely lost the plot or I’m cancelling my subscription
She also received money (@ least a million) from Qatar while in office.
She failed to report it, admitted it after being called out. It was part of the ridiculous show that won him the election.
She’s the worst person to open her mouth about this, as she’s directly guilty and tried to hide it.
Not 400 million, but a direct comparison with Qatar can be made.
Ah, the Russian bots are working overtime today to distract the left from talking about trump again.
We don’t really need to talk about Trump’s corruption. We all know he’s corrupt and none of us are arguing about it.
But when the person who was so corrupt she couldn’t win an election against the orange buffoon starts inserting herself into the conversation, accounts like yours come out of the woodwork to defend her using stale 2016 rhetoric. If there are fake accounts here, I’m pretty sure it’s yours.
Brother Russian bots are at least getting paid for it. You are in this thread “protecting” fucking Hillary of all people, with your life, FOR FREE. Who is the real idiot here?
Truly, there is nothing like sitting in midwest america in trump land and being called a russian bot. @Sillyglow@lemmy.ca I realize a nuanced view is difficult for many.
Should I insult you before I finish replying?
Is posting a fact about the 2016 election, and Hillary Clinton somehow disinformation?
My point was, that the turd is being a hypocrite, in that part of his campaign in 2016 was capitalizing on her errors in failing to report external country lobbying.
There’s strong evidence to point to Hillary being wrong here and very much the orange turd. Two things can be true.
I’m not trying to what about the facts.
Someone posted a screenshot of her top contributors.
I recently watched a video discussing the jet, which played clips of him arguing against her doing the same thing he’s defending. I looked into it and found https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/13/trump-plane-qatar-comments/
As I noted in my statement which you replied to - It’s not exactly the same, but comparable.
If anyone wonders why I would even try, please be aware of this adage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law

Seems accurate.
What trump is doing is wrong also.
Where did I say it was right? I am just calling out the hypocrisy.
Clinton’s charity confirms Qatar’s $1 million gift while she was at State Department
The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.” Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”
She may not be playing now, but I feel it’s fair to point out that Hillary has played some stupid games - the American people reap the stupid prize.
The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.”
It’s important to note that this also applied to Democratic candidates. With the Republicans moving 100 miles to the Right, Democrats didn’t think anyone would notice them moving 20 miles to the Right. Clinton and the DNC are just as responsible for the Overton window shift as the Republicans are. If not more so. Had they embraced and supported people like Sanders, who would have absolutely demolished Trump, we wouldn’t be in this fucking mess.

Thanks boss
I don’t know about what they said, but it’s pretty well known that the DNC encouraged Trump because he was viewed as unelectable. Clinton sucks
That’s part of it, but the other part is so much worse. The DNC and the Clinton campaign strategy was to elevate “unelectable” far-right nutjobs like Trump so that the Democratic party could intentionally pivot to the Right and still look like real opposition by contrast. They saw the writing on the wall ever since Sanders (and left-leaning policies in general) started gaining mainstream popularity in the late 2000s. The Dems are beholden to the same corporate billionaires as the Republicans, and the mere whiff of Leftism-lite made them all terrified that they might become slightly less wealthy under a SocDem government, and that “we the people” might become slightly more influential in said government.
Goddamnit…I was so disappointed I couldn’t vote for Sanders so many times…I really dislike the way the DNC is behaving.
