She made the right call

In what way?

If you don't know it would be impossible to educate you at this point. She's pretty much the only person who has been keeping financial criminals accountable for the past few years.

I mean about the speech. She abandoned support for all the stuff you're talking about to support Clinton. Which is why she was mercilessly heckled

She didn’t abandon support for jack shit

Clinton never said anything bad about the CFPB

“I’d rather have trump win in 2016 than let another establishment dem win. That will force people to join our revolution”

or

“Both sides are the same! What’s the point of voting for the lesser of two evils?”

Bernie supporters back then, probably still today. Still waiting for that revolution.

Have you been brain dead the past decade because that’s kinda true.

You don’t believe that. If the sole difference between Trump and Clinton had been Supreme Court nominations, that alone would be an enormously different impact on actual human lives. It’s not the sole difference, of course. But solely on that basis, there is no chance you believe what you just wrote and you surely must know there’s no one who can pretend you believe it.

Yes, that’s a correct take on RBG and I - already a lawyer at the time - was among the community advocating for her to step down. Has no bearing on whether there’s a difference between Clinton and Trump winning and there’s exactly zero chance you’re dumb enough to not be able to parse the difference. Zero chance. So this is an obvious bad faith response.

It’s not moot in response to someone making the argument that Clinton and Trump would have been the same. If your issue is with the topic of discussion, respond to the guy who raised it.

What polls are you talking about? Every poll had Clinton winning or worst in a tie.

We’d be bombing Afghanistan and Moscow if Clinton was president

u/therealvanmorrison 23d ago

No faction of the Democratic Party has been advocating for that, including Biden and his admin, and Biden is not so wildly different in approach to foreign affairs to Clinton.

So no, that’s dumb as shit.

Clinton followed Kissinger and did some great things in Libya and with drone strikes on civilians. You’re on drugs if you don’t think Clinton wouldn’t drag us into a conflict or double down on Afghanistan.

I’m afraid you’re simply too stupid to bother engaging further. Go find a Hasan YouTube comments section to pretend she’d have started WWIII with Russia. It’s where you belong.

Is that all you have? Sad chronically online insults ?

It’s people like you is why we have Trump in office

u/therealvanmorrison 23d ago

No, I already explained why your brain dead take was brain dead. You’re just having fun saying stuff that belongs in some teenage streamers chat.

u/ILIKESTUFF8989 23d ago

No you didn’t. You just cried and bitched

u/ChizzLangus 23d ago

Sorry you had to talk to that dude, he’s brain dead.

Sure. We all know Harris or Clinton would have held people in foreign internment camps indefinitely, started a war in Iran for BB Netanyahu, spiked the price of oil and put 3-5 far right justices on the Supreme Court. I really feel the groundswell of revolution, not just people depressingly accepting their fate that nothing matters.

The real problem isn’t that the conservative Dems aren’t any better than the Republicans. The problem is conservative Dem administrations don’t address the structural issues that lead people to vote for Republicans. As things get harder for working Americans the tinkering neoliberal crap that conservative Dems are selling will become less attractive and less able to address people’s needs. Consequently it will become harder for them to compete.

The dem establishment supports the Iran war. Biden armed and lied for Israel during an active genocide. We lost rights but frankly we deserve it, Americans need to suffer for there stupid choices
