Trump is despicable to most people but guess what? He's the only guy in the room advocating for 2k a month to every American and both Repubs and Democrats don't seem to give a ****. When did Obama ever advocate for money going out to the average American back in 2009 after the housing crash? Never. He said nice things on T.V. but was ultimately trash.
After my first big mental breakdown I had just spent 7 months on unpaid medical leave from teaching and Obama sent me a bill for not fulfilling my duty to cover the ACA mandate. Even the worst capitalists actually give you a product when you buy something. Obama was the only mother****er I ever knew to have the audacity to charge you for the crime of not being able to afford healthcare. That’s a goddamn historical fact.

Whoa don't drag me into your creepy fantasies

Also, were you not reading my posts then? How could you, shame!

I read your posts but I did didn’t feel like we were on the same page.

Marie Monday 12-19-2020 09:41 AM

We're on the same page when it comes to that detail, but I disagree with the idea that hatred for rich people can justify use of racism or misoginy. But we've talked about that before

Really? You fell for that fat ****er's bull****? I watched The Apprentice for years and I could see he was only out for himself no matter what he said. He might buy you a beer, but it would be Trump Beer (TM) and he'd get a kickback from it, so he wouldn't really be paying for it. Plus the next five rounds would be on you.

Of all people here, I would not have expected you to have considered Trump a "normal Joe". What the **** is normal about one of the world's biggest and most greedy capitalists? How do you work that one out?

He can't hear you over the sound of his own voice shouting obscenities.

outside internet politics and DSA meetings someone like Biden is considered progressive

Basically she represented more of the same, which was another thing working against her after 8 years of Obama. She wanted a public option. Guess what? So did Obama, when he was campaigning. He caved when in office due to political pressure. No telling what her actual policy would be once in office but it's hard to think she'd have been much different from Obama.

Except she was more of a war hawk than he was. That's one key difference.

You guys were discussing where the Hillary hatred comes from, and I just think you left out this aspect. I'm not defending her or sympathising with her in any way.

About why people like AOC: she's hot. She also doesn't have the other unlikeable aspects that hillary has, of course. My general point is that being a powerful woman clashes with some key things a woman is supposed to be, like pleasing and such. It's very difficult to navigate that without being labelled a detestable shrew; only a few women manage but they're exceptions.

I didn't mention it on purpose because that's the only thing anyone ever mentions. They refuse to put any of the blame on Hillary and defer to sexism, Russia, etc.

A big part of why she's so hated is also because of her association with Bill. There's been a 30+ year Republican propaganda campaign against the Clintons and Hillary played a very active role when he was president. She did a lot of shady and corrupt **** including pressuring victims of sexual assault to stay quiet.

Unlike Bill though she has no charisma to counter act against this legacy. And it's not cause she's a woman it's cause she's an empty suit. There's nothing genuine about her.

But to the same extent her sex can fuel hatred and her legacy with Bill can fuel hatred, she wouldn't be where she is in the first place without these factors. So you reap the benefits and you also reap the consequences. That's life. You don't get something for nothing.

As for AOC being sexy sure that might help but Palin is kinda a milf and I still find her unlikable. Omar isn't that hot and she's more likable than Palin. So is Warren, though I like her less due to how she handled this recent campaign for prez and basically double crossed Bernie.

At the end of day, Hillary is unlikable and just happens to be a woman. That's all it is. It's just like Ted Cruz. He's a slimey, phony guy that just rubs people the wrong way. He also happens to be Hispanic. That's not why he's disliked but he could just as easily play the race card and turn himself into the victim the way Hillary does with sex.

Which doesn't mean people are too hard on her, they're just not willing enough to see through those men and condemn them as much. (I'm talking about the average person here, not about you)

And coincidentally, the second paragraph I'm quoting here is a great example of how deeply ingrained the mentality is that women should please.

both Obama and Bill Clinton seem way more humble than Hillary lol
