                You’re ignorant not of American history but of world history.

          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.

            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.

        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.

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!

        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.

          And there’s millions of them.

        Corruption is fucking corruption.

        Calling whataboutism and not cleaning your own house is precisely what leads to loss of trust and directly led to the first term of Trump. EDIT: Along with explicitly and blatantly breaking their own rules to give the primary to Hillary (This isn’t conjecture or theory. They’ve explicitly admitted this in court and justified it by saying they aren’t a public entity but a private organization and can cheat if they want. Funny how they’re a public institution when they get free federal funds, but private when applying their own rules)

        Democrats being feckless cowards and refusing to prosecute Trump for emoluments violations during the first term, and then failing to prosecute Trump for fucking insurrection on day one of Bidens Administration is what led to Trump term 2.

            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.

            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.

    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.

    If you’re a Qatari prince, $400m is trivial. If anyone would give a genuinely free jet, they would.

    That being said, this one is not a gift. It’s manipulation. Stroke Trump’s ego and pretend you like him and he’ll do whatever you want, as long as you make him think it’s his idea.

      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”.

        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.

        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.

          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. @[email protected] 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?

          https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/oct/16/mike-pence/did-qatar-promise-clinton-foundation-1-million-fiv/

          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

    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.
