Harris just wasn’t a good candidate, at any time.
Biden could have stepped down in 2022 and let her run the show as incumbent and it still would have been tight.
She speaks from experience.
Snubbing Bernie for Hillary was a terrible mistake.
How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy
Well, yeah…
Shed already bought the Dem primary, so she needed something to do during that primary.
/s
No but really, she bought the Dem primary in 2016:

They royally fucked up assuming non-political people would see her as the “good guy”.
During the democratic primary I suggested that Hillary was by far the best candidate if your goal was to perpetuate the US empire.
Survivorship bias: but I low key think if Hillary won things would be far more dystopian. ICE wouldn’t be patrolling Home depot, but there’d be an amazon ring (powered by flock) on every front door and gas would never be expensive again.
At least that still has the option of circumvention without the massive loss of life and suffering we’ve seen across the world as a result of the instability introduced into would politics by Trumpism, but sure… This is fine…
It wasn’t a mistake…
It was an obvious and deliberate play between Hillary and DWS:
On the phone Gary told me the DNC had needed a $2 million loan, which the campaign had arranged.
“No! That can’t be true!” I said. “The party cannot take out a loan without the unanimous agreement of all of the officers.”
“Gary, how did they do this without me knowing?” I asked. “I don’t know how Debbie relates to the officers,” Gary said. He described the party as fully under the control of Hillary’s campaign, which seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp. The campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearinghouse. Under FEC law, an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign. But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and a party’s national committee.
Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn.
“Wait,” I said. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?”
Gary said the campaign had to do it or the party would collapse.
“That was the deal that Robby struck with Debbie,” he explained, referring to campaign manager Robby Mook. “It was to sustain the DNC. We sent the party nearly $20 million from September until the convention, and more to prepare for the election.”

I swear the main reason people don’t appreciate today’s DNC, is they’re ignorant of what went down up till this chair was sat.
Like, that’s literally the same “victory fund” Biden got, than Kamala got, and finally this DNC chair started paying back to state parties almost immediately.
That’s why we keep doing so well in special elections, the state parties are funded for the first time in a decade.
No shit. The one election you don’t want to fuck up and they utterly fucked it up royally.
Her mistakes could fill a book
So was denying Bernie the shot at beating Trump in 2016. Trump didn’t win, Hillary lost.
And Clinton should know, she is an expert on campaigns that are terrible mistakes…
She’d do it again if she had the chance.
The fact is that they all worked together to give Trump both his first and second terms. The Clintons and Trumps are still very close behind the scenes. A lot of 2016 was just theater. The Comey stuff, on and on. Then 2024, no Democratic Primary, keeping Bidens condition hidden as late as possible. Trump could’ve jut as easily run as a Democrat at one point in time. This is a symptom of money corrupting politics too. All of these people have similar financial backing and interests.
That whole run up to 2024 was a disaster. And failing to prosecute the Epstein files and not taking a harder line with Israel.
Taking a harder line? Biden went around Congress and overstepped his office to send them as much money and weapons as possible. I would have settled for just observing existing law.
Me: Hillary Clinton’s election campaign a ‘terrible mistake’
Cunt just go back to your cave. We don’t need or want your opinion. It’s your fault we are in these mess.
