The thread title is about Clinton. It doesn’t get any clearer.
Yes, it demonstrates how whataboutism requires the use of unresolved past grievances to justify blocking any resolution of new or current grievances, generally for partisan reasons.

I can rely on you to carry buckets
Seems kinda silly to be carrying water for ex-politicians who will never hold political office again, don't ya think? But somehow you keep using that slight as an excuse to apologize for the blatant corruption of the current POTUS. Why is that?

Something to think about: if Trump is the revenge effect for Clinton and Obama, as I have seen many Republicans argue, what do think the revenge effect for Trump will look like?

I don't trust the Clintons on many things but here's what we know. Bill met with the AG at the time, full stop. What happened? We don't know but if you think there were shens, then so be it because there's not much that can be proven.

Deserving all the criticism they get? Not at all because the criticism isn't about the appearance of a conflict of interest, but that Hillary is a criminal, that she sold our uranium to Russia and "lock her up" is heard far and wide.

So Bill and Hillary? In the grand scheme of thing let's say that she deserves a parking ticket at most and likely Bill ought to get that.

Trump should get the penalty for murder as he killed the Republic.


There is no real equivalence.
How is a comparison to Trump at all relevant in a necro thread about a Clinton self inflicted wound?

Bill got a parking ticket and Hillary stole a ketchup packet. Doesn’t change the fact that she lost.

Both Obama and Trump beat Hillary by questioning her trustworthiness and authenticity. Biden is now dropping in the polls for similar reasons. That’s how elections work.

You are confusing my rejection of the Clintons as an embrace of Trump. From where I am standing, they occupy a similar part of the swamp, Trump is just deeper in the muck.

Politics is a pendulum. Hopefully Sanders or Bloomberg, but for different reasons.

Because they both look like losers to GOP strategists, obviously. And because both sides.

You not only moved the goal post but turned it into something else entirely. Yes she lost, but you mentioned all the criticism as deserved and I strongly disagree about the scope and magnitude as you brought both sides to task.

lol at Starbuck. forgot about that guy. Wonder how many miles of Turmpcock he's swallowed by now.

poor guy. oh yeah, werepossum too...that "libertarian," all of them acolytes to "the cause" at one point. Wonder what the fuck perversions have happened to their brains by now to support the legion of pedophiles that they now worship as their chosen leaders.

:D

Oh man, look at all these fucking simps.

Aged well, peeps like Starbucks bailed around 2020 from the forums iirc. This walk down memory lane is a stark reminder of the “fuck your feelings” crowd and their deep concern for…winning
