Bill Clinton’s last-minute endorsement of Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race is all too fitting: both men represent the corporate Democratic establishment, opposed by socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, that has abandoned the working class.
The Clintons are largely responsible for the democratic party’s tolerance and enabling of fascism. They are responsible for popularizing thirdway politics in the US, and making compromise the Democrats only real priority.
Of course they are going to endorse the center right, that is the party platform that they’ve been building since the 90s. I honestly do not know why the conservatives demonized Hillary so much, the Clinton’s basically built their empire compromise by compromise.
To those saying it’s because she’s a woman: Partly yes, but they demonize all Democrats because the compromise only goes one way.
Easy way to move the Overton window.
Because she was a talkative woman with ideas and a dem instead of being in their GOP
… and a great grass-roots history of beneficial community service. Honestly her resume of not being a dirtbag is long and consistent.
You can stop there.
I’ve heard a lot of people talk shit about Hillary over the years, never once has it been about her being a woman. I’ve heard some misogynistic things about Kamala, however — she kinda opened herself up to it by dating a man who directly influenced her career. A man 31 years her senior. However, any talk about that has always been massively overshadowed by Gaza, or whatever else they had people spinning about at the time (I feel like it’s been years even though I know it hasn’t).
Idk, I just don’t buy ‘Hillary/Kamala lost because woman’. Doesn’t seem accurate.
Plenty of data on voters who didn’t show up for Clinton/Harris, but did for Biden. Since there isn’t any real policy differences among those three, it’s safe to say what they did base their vote on.
