Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Hillary Clinton is a useless relic. She needs to fuck off into the sunset.

If Biden leans into anything he's going to break his hip

Oh nice, some advice from... checks notes the person who lost to Donald Trump.

The guy who beat orange man should definitely take advice from the woman who didn't... Just like how I should take legal advice from my buddies sovereign citizen brother.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago

Never take campaign advice from Hillary Clinton.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago

Why would you validate that bad faith argument like that? It's not like he's running against someone young and dynamic.

Hillary Clinton fought like hell to get nominated against Trump and then shat the bed in the general election. She is as responsible as anyone for the orange pall cast over our country the last 8 years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

She made some mistakes that absolutely cost her tye election, and cemented the paradoxical blue collar support for a party that wants to make things worse for them in particular. It was a catastrophic misstep by an intelligent and experienced politician, and to this day, I don't understand it. Hubris was always a problem for her, all the way back to the primaries, so maybe it was hubris that was responsible.

Yes, the Right already hated her, and she always had an uphill fight because of her sex. But it was still her fight to lose, and she threw it.

Still, she is a smart person, and capable of learning from her mistakes, and has had a few more years under her political belt, so discounting her just because of one disasterous loss might be its own kind of mistake.

She didn't learn anything. She thinks she was wronged and has only doubled down since 2016.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

She blamed anything and everyone for her loss but herself. Still does.

If Hillary Clinton really wants to help Biden, she should go place a large bet on Trump winning

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Imagine if Hillary went full MAGA. Going to rallies and stuff, shouting about how much she loves him, how she saw the light.

Their fucking heads would explode.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

No it would just feed their rhetoric on being right

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Backing him would definitely make people heads turn

[–] [email protected] 60 points 9 months ago

Hillary Clinton should shut her fucking mouth and disappear into retirement. No one needs to hear her opinion on anything

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that while she thinks President Biden’s age, which is a growing topic of concern among voters, is a “legitimate issue,” she advised him to “lean in” to his years of experience.

According to a recent NBC News poll, Biden’s age and health are serious issues of concern for voters.

Seventy-six percent of respondents had major or moderate concerns when asked if Biden, 81, has the mental and physical acuity to be the country’s top leader.

At a press conference Thursday evening, Biden angrily defended himself after special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated his retention of classified documents at his Delaware home and former vice president’s office, released his report, which painted the president as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Clinton argued that while Biden’s age is an issue, voters should consider “what’s at stake in the election,” as he prepares for a potential rematch against Trump, the likely GOP nominee.

“I’m for Joe Biden for reelection on the merits because I think he’s done a really good job as president,” Clinton said.
