HRC's Accomplishments

[Webster]

*reads thread title* ...yeah, I know what you're thinking: what accomplishments?

(Gay Patriot) Well, Hillary made official today what everyone has known since about 1993. Her on-line presidential announcement was delayed by technical problems; but you know how hard it is for elderly people to use the internet. She will be running a campaign based on the fresh, hot new premise that “Democrats are the party of working families, and Republicans favor the wealthy.” Gee, why didn’t anyone think of *that* before. Anyway, there is a criticism out there among racist, sexist, cis-gendered, heteronormative right wing nutjobs that Hillary doesn’t have any actual accomplishments. Sure, she was a Senator, and Secretary of State… but both of those were solely because she was married to Bill Clinton; and it is said that in each of those positions, she accomplished Jack Squat.

I take issue with that. I can point to several accomplishments by our new distinguished Democrat front-runner.

• She gave Russia a big red button that said “Overcharge” on it; also the Crimea.
• She managed to lose $6 Billion of taxpayer money while Secretary of State, and I mean, totally lost… as in nobody has any idea WTF happened to it. It’s just gone.
• She kept a man who raped a 12 year old girl out of prison by smearing his accuser and using a legal technicality; then she laughed about it.
• She inspired the character of ‘Goneril Lear’ in my non-award not-winning sci-fi novel series. (Had to get a plug in there.)
• She illegally used a private, non-secure email server while Secretary of State, then destroyed it to prevent Congress from having access to her email.
• She accepted millions in foreign donations and then lobbied for policy changes on behalf of foreign donors.
• She invented the technique of responding to questions with a dismissive cackle.

*deadpans* ...okay, so she's accomplished a few things; unfortunately, they're not things we should be happy about...

She's a woman. Ergo, she's not a man.


That's good enough for me, as one of 51% of the U.S. population that will be working to get her as elected as 13.2% of the U.S. population did in the last 2 presidential elections, since the only reason Obama got elected is "because all the blacks voted for him [to hell with mathematics, dammit!!!]"

So? Have we become so inured to identity politics that we no longer look at an individual on the merits but just on what boxes they check?

I believe "we" became that way when "we" decided "Obummer" could not be a good POTUS because he'd [half-]checked the "black" box...


...so, yes..."I" AM comfortable voting for Hillary, simply because she's a woman. Mostly I'm doing it so all you white men won't be liars when you made the assertion that "the only reason Obama won is because all the blacks [all 13.2% of the U.S. population of 'em - mathematics be damned!!!] voted for him".

*Think* of the damage 51% of *US* can do!!!

Thanks for answering my earlier comment about identity politics; you just reminded me why I'm no longer a liberal/progressive; I prefer to think for myself, thank you very much, instead of having my politics decided for me based on who/what I am or what I believe... *adds deadpan* ...but thanks for playing anyway.

Oh. Thanks for sharing that information and clarification.

It does not come through in the least that you do 'your thinking for yourself', what with the way you parrot the ultra-conservatives' scripts, line-for-line never missing a beat, and with your incessant utilization of ultra-conservatives' "political satire" cartoons to do your speaking for you.


I really don't understand why MY basing MY decision on who to vote for based on the stated criteria is suddenly a problem, when white men have been basing their choices on the same criteria for centuries...and especially did so during the past two presidential elections; don't forget..."the only reason Obama won is because all the blacks [all 13.2% of 'em...mathematics be damned!!!] voted for him".


It's a 'goose-gander' kind of thingy, for me. It's a 'hypocritical' kind of thingy, for [some of] you.

Just imagine what fun it will be having Bill as "First Lady" free to go out and get all the 'Monicas' he can find once again, and on the taxpayer's tab as well.

She managed to "lock down" a community college in Iowa.

Doc,

You know, I do kinda miss Bill...

I used to look forward to reading the headlines in the papers, you never knew what was next!

 

[DrLeftover]

Mr. Hillary Rodham-Clinton wasn't dull.

 

[Rooster]

Of all the Presidents in my lifetime...

He was the one I wanted to party with!

That is the biggest bunk i've read in some time.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

And if he couldn't get the ladies to party with him he just raped them. Easy peasy!
