Yeah but the people don't know who they want. The DNC knows who the people want. This is why I nominate Hillary Clinton as NYC mayor.
It’s been so fucking ridiculous to watch the US left spend three decades just completely buying into the conservative smear job against the Clintons. Just licking up every drop of the trash they’ve fed you.
Perfect? Not by a long shot. But you’ll be goddamn lucky to ever get another president as qualified and capable as Bill or Hillary ever again.
Provided you're a billionaire.
“No, I’m not at all susceptible to right wing media messaging”
I mean, I'm not buying your support of two center-right corpodems.
And who are literally a mile to the left of anyone the DNC has to offer.
American “leftists”: ready to throw fists in defense of 1990s Rush Limbaugh talking points but absolutely incensed at the suggestion that they’re not doing enough to stop the fascist overthrow of their government. 🤡
The clintons and soulless corpodems exactly like them are all the DNC is willing to offer.
Why would rush limbaugh say that they're too far to the right? Just because the clintons are to your left, that doesn't mean they're acceptable.
The Clintons are far to my right. They’re also far to the left of anyone you’ve ever put up that’s actually qualified.
Where "qualified" means "have the last name Clinton."
Define "qualified"
Was Obama "qualified" in 08?
When has "qualified" ever mattered except when Hilary tried to use it as a campaign slogan and lost repeatedly (first to Obama, then to trump)
Good joke
