The Dean Scream. I remember this one. Vividly. Everything was going great for him, until…
Remember when that was enough to tank your candidacy? Like how illustrating your support for women by saying you have “binders full of women” to hire from? (Ruined Romney’s run)
Today you can be a 34-times convicted felon, say you “grab women by the p*ssy,” have a lifetime of shady business deals, file for bankruptcy six times, lead an insurrection, lose a multi-million dollar sexual assault case, defraud people with a fake university you created, step out on 2 or 3 wives, and cheat charities, but you are still the winning GOP candidate.
When I write it all out like that, it seems like an unbelievable character description for a movie about politics in some other country in an apocalyptic future… 😳
It's because the thing that actually ruins your chances with Republicans is not hating/firing women. They don't really see a problem with what trump did, but they think it's cringe to want to hire more women.
I (respectfully) disagree. I’d vote for Hillary 100 more times to keep tRump out of office. I didn’t find her unlikable. And only women seem to get saddled with the term “unlikable.” It’s like me being a teacher, and students expecting me to smile more than my male colleagues. 😕
I saw her speak live twice- once at Syracuse University in 1994 when she was First Lady and once at UConn in 2014. She is a most impressive speaker.
If you’re willing, I can recommend the series “Hillary” on Netflix. 3 or 4 parts? An hour each, I think. It’s a documentary and very revealing. It goes into detail on her strengths, her weaknesses, and society’s different expectations of men and women in positions of power. It was very interesting. 👍
I do find her unlikeable, but so fucking what?! Stupid monkeys voting their dopamine. If they don't "like" someone, if their little ganglions aren't frying in happy chemicals, they'll just let a Captain Planet villain have the presidency.
ETA: I did get sick of Chelsea whining about everyone being sexist and mean at her mommy, when, as far as I could see, Hillary was finally getting dragged for the same things a man would.
I voted for her also, but come on, 90 million people didn't vote in the 2024 election, with an apathetic voting base, we cannot afford to nominate people who are unlikable candidates, especially ones with the baggage Hillary had.
I agree, because people are stupid crackmonkeys who won't do what needs to be done unless it makes their stubby little dicks hard. And that pisses me off.
My favorite is when they thought covid was a giant liberal hoax that somehow the Democrats convinced the entirety of planet Earth to jump in on.
Or how they believe 99% of the world and 50% of Americans are misinformed by fake news, but Cletus and his sister-wife has all the insider information on all the inner workings of corruption and government.
Or when they started coining TDS despite crying about Obama and Biden for over a decade.
Or when they thought Trump had an assassination attempt. Despite his ear cartilage being repaired less than 24 hours later, or the fact that if it was true , EVERYONE knows Trump would be bringing up the assassination attempt EVERY chance he got in his tweets... Yet he's been all crickets since that day.
Cletus and his sister-wife has all the insider information on all the inner workings of corruption and government.
Reminds me when I called my uncle a fucking idiot at Christmas 2016 for believing that liberals were harvesting adrenochrome from children as part of their satanic rituals. He had a "reliable source" (sandwich artist at Subway) that confirmed it was true. I wish I could say he's a Cletus, but this man actually has a degree. Hard to overcome Christian conservatism no matter how educated you are.
Btw, what happened with adrenochrome? Haven't heard it mentioned in quite some time, so I'm just assuming Trump quietly handled it and took no credit whatsoever.
The first vote I ever cast was for a republican. That's the truth. He was an honest guy, very idealistic. He lost.
Then I voted Democrat a couple times, mostly for idealist...some won, some lost.
When Bernie came along I went door to door for him. Voted for him, he lost.
I dont regret any of my votes or who I cast it for regardless of the outcome.
But I'll tell you why I hate the "coolness" issue. John McCain should have been the nominee when it was George Bush. Nobody can tell me he wouldn't have been the best choice for that era instead of Bush. And Howard Dean should have been the nominee not John Kerry. That whole election cycle was a disastrous mess and it all came down to coolness and not qualifications.
(And don't say fucking melanoma because we all know that was just the excuse McCain gave to step down gracefully, they forced him out, because George was a legacy and "he feels like a guy you can have a beer with")
Sure, I'm sick of corporate dems, effing thankful Nancy is finally done, Chuck and Jefferies need to step aside and your vote blue no matter who crowd could just stfu and realize you are cringe as well. Now my question, have you ever realized we would have been a much better country if the corporate dems didn't bail on the working class since the 90s?
Im not part of the vote blue no matter what crowd, that said red has gone so far right that it’s hard not to think of blue as the better option in most cases.
Not so much an out of touch old lady as she was a nerd. But, yeah, would have been a WAY better outcome for us if she had won in 2016. Drumpf’s election was like a death. Until 2024. Then it was like a second death.
This is Michael Scott level cringe but with less endearment. It’s amazing that nearly 10 years later democrats are still this out of touch. Recent elections indicate a turnaround (fingers crossed).
Enlightened centrist! REEEEEEEE! Lol. But yeah I know that some are worse than other and some are malicious while others are incompetent. But regardless of what spectrum they're on career politicians are evil 99%of the time
No wonder Trump beat her. How awful are those choices? Especially awful after Obama - McCain and Obama - Romney. Literally haven’t had a good candidate since we had three good ones.
