As a marxist-leninist, I'm not ashamed to say Hillary Clinton had some great ideas

Admittedly, she would have been better than Trump, but fuck her for sandbagging Sanders in '16.

In Hillary's defense (ugh) trump is about the only candidate she had a chance to beat
The real problem was the old dnc insisting it should be her, letting her primary campaign fund the dnc, and letting her primary campaign have final say over everything the DNC did during both the primary and general...
She literally staged a hostile takeover of the party funded by billionaires who it turns out we're fine with trump and even preferred him.
So if you zoom out, it wasn't really Hillary's fault. She was a useful idiot to American's oligarchs whether she knew it or not. Billionaires bought her so she'd buy the DNC and make sure we didn't get anyone even close to Obama again
The really really good news is we finally got the DNC out of neoliberals hands.
The fight over the party already happened, and we won.
So it's important to understand this recent history, but under no circumstances blame the current dnc of 2025 for the bullshit Hillary's people pulled the last 30 years
- Who is 'we', and what exactly did they win? Cause from where I sit Biden and Harris are pretty neoliberal themselves.
  
  Who is ‘we’,
  Anyone that's not a Republican or a neoliberal...
  Biden and Harris are pretty neoliberal themselves.
  What does that have to do with the DNC chair elected about two months ago?
- What? Other than the Bernie bullshit what are you talking about? Also why do you personally dislike her? Truly just curious.
  
  It's possible you blocked the other person and didn't see this was already answered, so here's a direct link to my other comment:

Fun fact, if you live in a blue state and didn't donate to Trump, Hillary is far more responsible for his win then you are even discounting her other campaign issues.
Lot of silent down votes. Sorry to hurt your feelings but facts are facts. Hillary bankrolled Trump.
- Yeah. There's no chance of election reform in this country, we're always going to have a two party system without equal votes. So there's no point pushing on the popular vote to help people realise the system is corrupt. Trump winning the popular vote isn't a problem for us at all.
- Hillary bankrolled Trump.
  Are you saying the DNC produced ads against trump's RNC opponents or are you saying Hillary donated money to trump's campaign?
  Because "Hillary bankrolled trump" is not true, by a longshot.

I mean Kamala did not do better. She went to bed with "moderate" republicans, never pushed back on border security issues and claims of mosts immigrants being criminal - even leaned into them. She knew Israel was supporting Trump, still decided to support Israel and go all in on them.
All she did run on was: "I'm not Trump; I like his stance on immigration and border politics but I am a woman of colour and also support the LGBTQ+. Vote for me! Muhh project 2025!!"

Everyone's an accelerationist until their neighbors get hungry.

I really don't understand the hatred of Hillary. Like, the Republicans yeah sure. But everyone else why?
- Hillary is great. She's the reason Donald Trump is president. Her campaign gave money to Trump's campaign during the 2016 primaries. Because of her, Trump is ruining the economy and helping us create a socialist revolution.
  
  I’m praying this is satire but I can no longer tell in 2025.
  
  I wouldn’t count on socialism being the outcome here. Accelerationism never works the way the accelerationists think.
  
  Is there an article on that? Haven't seen that before.
- It's because Americans (read Republicans and tankies) are sexist shitbags.
- the propaganda against her was immense, her emails, bhengazi, and then the comey guy thought trump would take on russian interference, but he was ousted almost immediately.
- Decades of character assassination by the press/propaganda machines as well as a really mixed personal history if doing the right and wrong thing almost equally.
  
  They use "Trump Derangement Syndrome" with no awareness of where the term came from or why.
