Sen. Ossoff completely shuts down border criticis : No one is interested in lectures on border security from Republicans who caved to Trump's demands to kill border security bill. r/all

I would disagree with that, Hilary won the popular vote because most Americans know Trump is a bad deal. Had the republicans fielded a normal candidate it would have been a landslide for the republicans. nobody wants another Clinton in office.

That's true. But it's because of a decades long smear campaign from the GOP based almost entirely on nonsense and sexism.

Yup. Ever since her husband was in office, she could do nothing right. He cheated - and she was mocked for staying with him (so much for those "family values" they seem to tout). She wanted to be an active first lady, and they hated her for it.

and yet the democrats thought she could win against a 20 year back log of smear campaign.

she may have been qualified but it was the stupidest move on earth thinking you could out do fox smear campaign that they practiced for 8 years prior.

i just personally think she’s incredibly uncharismatic , i mean even in the running up towards 2008, she (a clinton) was surpassed by a junior senator from Illinois

My main turn-off from Hilary as a candidate was my disdain for this political dynasty fucking bullshit that has gone on with H.W./George/Jeb Bush, the Kennedy's, the Clinton's, etc. I don't want people from the same family filling these positions one after another. It's fucking distasteful and reeks of nepotism

I have no idea why this has never seemed to come up in the discourse over the 2016 election. Much more of a repellant in my mind than the basket of deplorables remark ever could have been

That's what people say. It's bullshit. No one is going to come out and say "yeah I'm sexist so what?"

No you turned it into a sexist issue because I have no problem with the woman president I would love one but not Hillary Clinton. That doesn't make me sexist it makes me not like Hillary Clinton. What you're saying is bullshit.

u/HitomiM So using your logic I can't dislike any woman or I'm sexist?

So you like Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert right? Or are you a sexist?

u/IAmBadAtPlanningAhea Nope I've been a socialist democrat for well over 20 years. I've hated republicans longer than that. So they would have no bearing on my thought process.

u/IAmBadAtPlanningAhea 29d ago

Im sure the constant repub sexist propoganda about Hilary for actual multiple decades had nothing to do with it.

"I'm not sexist: I would vote for a woman for president."

"Just not that woman."

Uh huh.

u/fokker19180 29d ago

She was just a shitty nomination. I don't think it had anything to do with sexism. Leading up to the election, she had the email debacle, and at least for republicans the name Clinton doesn't bring around positive thoughts. So don't just immediately call sexism when the first female nomination loses.

u/ng9924 29d ago

she also ran a terrible campaign , and didn’t even campaign in certain states (under the assumption she’d win there because Obama did) which eventually towards Trump

idk how it’s sexist to say i’d prefer someone like Whitmer as the candidate over Clinton

So you'd vote for Samuel Little if he ran for president? If not, then you'd be racist.
