Still wondering what they mean by "she was right"?

Was it about normalizing relations with Russia?

Was she right about Iraq?

Was she right to promote Trump as a candidate?

Was she right when she suggested drone striking whistle blowers?

Was she right when she said Mubarak's governemnt was stable?

Was she right about Haiti?

You lost the easiest election in living memory.

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

As much as i loath HC I dont think we can pretend that wasnt largely a misogyny issue, its not like large swathes were being super principled and thats why she lost.

Do not underestimate how much people hate women.

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 45 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Was it a woman issue? I feel like I did not get that from the election cycle at all. If anything large swaths of the populace thought she would be generally competent as president. She won the popular vote after all. If anything she lost because of her own pied piper strategy.

Was it a woman issue?

Eh, its non-zero but i think its dwarfed by every unforced error she made. She had baggage to a degree i don't think any candidate has ever had. People in the US had hated her for over 20 years. The only people who thought she was a good candidate were people who relied on the Clinton's vast patronage network.

The cottage industry of Hillary hate on the US right had a lot to do with sexism, but the hate could never have become as large as it was if not for her truely unique talent of making any attack or challenge 100x worse (i.e. I'm not baking cookies, deplorables, etc.)

It's impossible to quantify, but Obama got two terms despite prevalent anti-black racism. It was an uphill fight, sure, but it shows that an appealing candidate can overcome general discrimination.

If anything, Hillary should have had an easier time than Obama since the black vote is only 18% of the population whereas the female vote is 50%.

She somehow ended up losing the white female vote to Mr Grab'em By The P*say.

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

I think that would be more valid if she was less terrible and fucked up her campaign as much. It was a factor but I can't tell over how much she sucks.

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 26 points 5 months ago

i honestly don't think sexism really had much to do with her being entirely insufferable

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

She got more votes than Trump, didn't she?

"You were right about everything" is a common phrase she hears from all the sycophants sucking up to her because literally everyone in her circles in doing some form of networking. It's literally like that scene from Andor with all the political movers and shakers greasing each other up with utter bullshit.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 37 points 5 months ago

I really liked that side episode from the Mandalorian, where a bunch of rich fuckers basically said, "Ehh, Republic, Empire, New Republic, who gives a shit? Stonks are up!"

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

I fucking hate that episode because its complete fucking bullshit that basically suggests the rebel alliance and the fall of the empire was basically meaningless and robs the original trilogy of all meaning and significance.

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

Basically all the sequel stuff suggests that the fall of the Empire was meaningless. It only took 30 years for new bad guys to come along and behave exactly like the Empire, because Disney are creatively bankrupt

Using this to peddle shitty merch

Behold I have become Drumph. peddler of merch.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 45 points 5 months ago

I’ve never seen someone this brain broken. The election has consumed her entire personality. It’ll be 2030 and she’ll still talk about it.

Tbf It'll be 2030 and I'll still be mad she got to pretend to be the competent candidate and we all just had to accept it.

Just imagine for a moment if China or the DPRK had their leaders on mugs and t-shirts, selling tons of merch. Imagine how we would be presented with this as an example of how dystopian and awful they are.

libs are fucking disgusting. Stormy Daniels was basically coerced into sex with the absolutely repulsive trump, harassed etc. but they are just getting off on trump being convicted because he's the great evil threatening "US DEMOCRACY" as if that ever existed.

Its like dumbass your husband is a pedophile, a rapist and you backed him up. excuse me while i go puke my guts out. hillary clinton is absolutely vile

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 38 points 5 months ago

a phrase I hear a lot

Hilldog, if you're hearing people say "she was right about everything", they're obviously not talking about you.

I can't believe nobody has commented on the corporate clipart style of the mug. I hate everything about this, text included but that seems almost self aware.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

It's a picture of her drinking from a plain mug too. Which is weird.

  1. That is the cheapest-looking mug I've ever seen

  2. It'll be funny when the grift machine keeps running after her death, like that Herman Cain tweet.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

Excuse me, sir. This is as perfect as a mug can get for brunch. maybe-later-kiddo

She was right about it being a good idea to deliberately elevate Trump with the Pied Piper strategy?

Hey! That's official Hexbear merch, she can't sell that!

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I also knew Trump was a lying criminal (as is she and like 99% of rich people), was I right about everything too?

[-] Tychoxii@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

People come to me all the time and they say, "Hillary, turns out you were right about everything!" It's true! They do! You can ask Chelsea about it, even Bill said it once or twice. But the people are realising I was right all along, even all the deplorables and losers are realising it, because I was and I am.
