This memory was made possible by donations from the DNC
But she was right about everything!
The part that really hurts is that it seems like the Democrats are setting themselves up to do it again.
But she was right about everything!
Except the bit about assuming she could easily beat trump.
I wouldn’t say she was right about anything other than calling trump supporters deplorables

She was right he was Putin’s puppet.
She was right he was going to give away tons of tax money to the ultra wealthy
She was right he didn’t know shit about foreign policy
She was right he’s a demented rapist
She was right about so much more than his idiot cult were deplorable.
Liberalism, by definition, is a set of values that maintains that all social and political problems can be addressed via existing power structures and systems.
The current democratic party is about as liberal as they come, with many bordering on neo-liberal, which is just a new way to say “old fashioned republican.”
They may look neutered and impotent and terrible at planning, but they’re right where they want to be. They maintain power but can also use the excuse of not being able to get past Republican obstructionism so that’s why they haven’t pushed major political reform.
The system is only broken for those it’s not benefitting directly.
(You don’t have to like them, but you need to vote for them right now because I rather have a grifters in charge than evil grifters who want to bring about the dark-ages all over again.)
This. I felt so betrayed by who was on the ballot that I changed my political party to Green Party, voted for Jill Stein, took a job near a hippy little town in the woods, moved my kids, told them we were cutting off corporate America and changing our diets…only to eventually lose my house in foreclosure after not being able to provide on one income, with an unemployed spouse. I’d like to just say that it’s tough being new in a small town, but that wasn’t it. America f_cked my family over so bad in 2016, and politics/the election were just the tip of the iceberg of it all.
Them in 2016: “He’s not LITERALLY a fascist”
Them in 2024: “Okay he’s openly announcing his intent to be a dictator and get rid of the ‘others’ who are ‘poisoning our blood’, but unless it’s from the Bavarian area of Germany, it’s just sparkling authoritarianism. Besides, Biden is just as bad!”
The Bavarian area of Germany?
Hitler was Austrian and at least in Germany people use this saying with Italian Mussolini style fascism or even just German
I know it started in Munich but calling it Bavarian in origin is a bit unusual
It’s just a skooch of humor, not an academic treatise.
Oh, I see you’re in Germany. Well, that probably didn’t come across the same as it did here. Sorry - carry on.
Ah, I remember November 2016. The kids in the hippie dorm beat the shit out of someone on their floor because they didn’t vote.
Don’t get me wrong, Trump is a fascist. With that out of the way, just let me say that if you freak the fuck out over everything all the time, you are bound to be right every once in a while. It’s not impressive when you live your entire life in a histrionic state.
