[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 54 points 2 years ago (4 children) Stop mentioning Hillary. She’s old news. She’s as relevant to 2023 politics as hunter biden. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) Came in here to say basically this. The fact that they used Hilary as the image for this articles headline killed any credibility instantly. She is not relevant and hasn't been since she lost. There is zero positives to bringing her up. Unless you want an example of exactly how not to run a presidential campaign. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I just clicked because I wanted to be sure she wasn’t running in 2024 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fraylor@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) What?

Surely she doesn't know what she's talking about. Also she is not wrong. But you know fake internet points on a reddit knock off matter more, apparently. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Literally everyone with half a fucking brain knew Trump would be terrible. The fact that she was so unlikable and ran such a bad campaign that people didn't bother to show up and vote for her tells you everything. She needs to shut the fuck up, and disappear. The mere sight of her face makes me not want to vote Democrat. I never was one, and her attempts to shame me into voting for her only made me think about that more. The "big tent party" needs more than fear mongering to win elections. I don't really care for Joe Biden either, but I didn't feel ill voting for him. He didn't tell me I owed it to him, that I had to vote for him or I was deplorable. He at least said a few things that made me want to vote. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago* I’m not saying she’s wrong. I’m saying she’s irrelevant at this point. if for some reason you don’t like this social network, you should go back to Reddit permalink fedilink source parent
