Sure is a good thing that she and her husband got the ball rolling for the Republicans! What would we do without deregulated and monopolistic media, Neo-liberalism globalization that gutted the middle class, deregulated markets that created the sub prime crisis of 2008, and a judicial system that punished people for being poor and/or BIPOC.

She was not wrong, she just was also complicit.

YUP. So much deregulation happened under the Clinton presidency and everyone sings his praises. He's a traitor to his constituents and country.

The legislative branch are just cowards, period. Don't like the way the SC has interpreted a law? No fucking problem: re-write the law. It's LITERALLY thier fucking job.

DMC: Run Biden 15 more times you say?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago

It will be 2036 and AOC will make her presidential bid and the DNC will be like "guess we need to get the shovel to dig Biden back up"

It's Tricky

I guess more people should've voted for Bernie in 2020.

There were also the superdelegates.

Ugh, and here I thought 3 was where it should have all ended. PS2 gameplay was fine, and the story had the 'ending' it needed!

Yeah. I remember saying this shit 10+ years ago too. Jesus fuck I'm tired....

[–] Spinoza@lemmy.ml 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I know people were saying this since at least the 80s and I wasn’t even born. Hillary’s not just stating the obvious, shes rattling off old talking points of the dem platform.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 months ago

You’re telling me that dems have known about this problem for decades but did nothing but fundraise and campaign on it? How unlike them!

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (9 children)

Damn that's crazy, maybe you should have supported the popular progressive instead of getting the DNC to gg ez your primary for you lol.

"Ben Ghazi and the Buttery Males" is still a 10/10 band name

The people who needed to hear it weren't listening while the rest of us were screaming.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If a Republican president can do it, so could Biden in order to prevent that from happening. Why didn't he? Why didn't Kamala run on stacking the courts in her favor?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Because the president needs the congress to approve those judges, and the last time team blue had both the presidency and the congress was when Obamacare was passed.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

which was watered down because we had people LIEBERMAN.

You mean Romney's ACA? Cause Dems love to co-operate with Conservatives?

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago

Uh what the fuck? Dems won both houses in 2020.

She was a better candidate. Better than trump.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

That bar's so low, it's in the Earth's core.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE YOU FUCK

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good thing that's how the winner is decided

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

LOL. The Electoral College would like a word lol

Oh yeah and remember that time in 2000 when the Supreme Court got to decide lol

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 3 points 3 months ago

And the Dems couldn't wait to concede to protect norms, and then lined up to kiss Bush's ass after 9/11, passed the Patriot Act, and even joined in gleefully to support the Iraq War.

And the GOP turned around and called them all terrorists regardless.

Not only are they immoral pieces of shit, they're also horrible at any form of strategy against the GOP.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (5 children)

This is false. Any president in US has the power to do this and in a proper democracy no president should have the power to meddle with the justice system. Sepaeatipn of power and all that.

That slogan was truly ahead of its time. It kinda works in 2026 in an ironic sort of way.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

they have no need, 6-3 is already a supermajority. thats why they have been brazen in the last 2 years repeal every case they can, they cant touch interracial relationships yet, because alot of gop are married to poc wives. they made sure thier scotuses arnt that old fart, if they are about to step down they replace it under 30days much like with RBG.
