Frankly, if you liked her, the scolding school teacher attitude didn't affect you. If you were a fan, either because she was a woman, ( and that was the only thing that matters ) or because of Ideology/religion, you were ready to forgive or ignore her personality.
Don't laugh, or feel superior. Many are equally willing to forgive/ignore the personality of the Bad Orange Man, if only because he's Not Hillary. ( which is a fairly good reason, IMHO )
And a friend just posted on her Facebook page a picture of a truck with a "Deplorbl" licens e plate.
Her Comment:"I’d put good money down that the owner of this Ram pick-up truck was not referring to him/herself. I’m also quite certain that s/he would be WRONG. #livingDown2stereotypes #NYRedneck #NYBigot #NotmakingAmericaGreatAtAll — in Henrietta, New York."
And the first 2 responses "What an idiot" & "You might lose that bet -- hard to tell. I know a group of retired police officers, gentlemen all, who refer to themselves as "Deplorables.""
My response... ( and this is a really nice lady, but politically? ) "Many oppressed peoples appropriate the insults their oppressors use to mock the Oppressors. Watch a black comedian. Or a Jewish one. When a Major Presidential Candidate Insults about half the country, expect some to gleefully make humor out of that. That truck owner spent money to get that custom plate."
Time will tell if I was polite enough, or persuasive enough, to make any attitude change for the positive. But in any case, this is a WELL MEANING and Good person's reaction to political humor & events. That we disagree on the people & policies doesn't change that.
So, Lizzie. You didn't lose because you were a woman. I WANT a woman to win the election. Just not you. ( or Hillary ) I could give a list of women that lack your dishonesty and annoyance level, that I would gleefully support. The dishonesty and holier than thou attitude that many feel from you is why you lost. ( that, and Your Party is a racist, Homophobic, Sexist, organization that never intended to do anything but Use You as "proof" they aren't. Why did they support Hillary? She Paid Them To. )
I don't argue with her insiders on how she lost. I do disagree with her policies. I think the Real reason was that she was inauthentic.
Bernie is an authentic Commie monster. Authentically corrupt. Authentically dishonest. If you look in the dictionary under Useful Idiot, it's Bernie's picture drinking vodka in Moscow on his Honeymoon.
Just Joe is an authentic Establishment Hack. There's no there, there. Authentically dishonest and corrupt. And because he's Establishment, his family got much richer than Bernie's.
Lizzy tried to thread the gap between them. I don't know if she could have displaced Bernie and kept going. There's a LOT of personal loyalty and revolutionary fervor in his "bros". It might have been better to go after the Establishment slot Biden was Occupying. She arguably has a better record getting things done, and could have run Left of Joe, ( pulling the "center" of her Party further left, but not full Commie ) and she certainly could have destroyed Joe like she did Mike.
People would buy her as an authentic establishment hack. She is one.
We'll see in 2024. Or sooner, if she can finagle a Veep slot. ( from Bernie or Joe, neither statistically highly likely to live out a full term )
The lack of personal empathy in online, anonymous, interactions, where trolls on Facebook & Twit others with vicious posts, may explain an important fraction of the Bile spewed by the Bernard Brothers.
An equally important fraction is inherent in the ideology adopted. The religious dogma that there is no god, that people of faith are idiots, ( while clinging to their Holy State and Twitter accounts ) and that they have moral superiority because they represent the revolution of the People over the Establishment.
And to be "fair" the Bernie Bros got robbed in 2016, by The Establishment DNC. And from stupid & revealing comments, it appears the robbery is ongoing, again.
When a politician is offered a future job in the opponent's administration, if they quit the race and endorse their opponent, that is an actual crime.
It's done all the time, sure, but like the massive bribery that makes almost all retiring Congresscritters millionaires, there's a protocol to follow. No written promises! You don't brag about it in public!
And there are rumors? ( from Bernie supporters? ) that Mayor Pete was offered the Veep job to quit on cue, too. ( although those posts don't come up on Bing today )
Thus Bernie Bros have ample reason to feel cheated. Again.
Never mind I am vehemently opposed to Comrade Bernie. I can understand the anger.
Remember, the actual anti-Establishment movement of the Center, the Tea Party, was also hated by the Establishment, both D & R, and persecuted illegally by the Obama IRS & Injustice Dept. ( But because the Tea Party folk aren't Marxist Useful Idiots, entitled self appointed elites beyond human morality, THEY didn't threaten to burn cities )
While I hope the Bernie supporters stay home & don't vote for Just Joe, I wouldn't count on that.
"Right Wing Pundits" are just as susceptible to hubris and wishful thinking as any on the Left. They may be bubbling over with glee that the DNC ( may have ) screwed Bernie again, ( understandable, yea! ) but don't buy the hype that Trump will win.
It's going to take a VERY SOLID turnout for Trump to overcome the massive vote fraud to come.
Look at California with mail in ballots filled out for a huge number of people by Campaign staffers. And the illegal vote in States like NY & CA where driver's licenses are issued to illegals. AND the usual bus loads driven from polling place to place to fraud vote repeatedly.
The most revelatory part of the Clinton film comes toward the end, when Hillary reveals that she was cheered on election night by the despair of Democrat voters: “People crying on the sidewalks, holding their children up. [It was] like a death.”
“What I loved was the reaction to the loss and the Resistance that grew up because of it.”
“It began to sprout almost immediately. There was a very big silver lining which made me feel somewhat better.”
This is not the reaction of a person who should be president. It’s sociopathic.
With the 2020 Presidential pool being down to Trump, Biden and Sanders, I will say that the next administration will be interesting to watch. That seems to be a lock!
I find these typosquatter domains routinely in my work as a security professional. It is really easy to seize them when they are being used for a demonstrably deceptive purpose. Bernie could grab this domain easily. That his campaign failed to proactively register such an obvious domain doesn’t say anything good about his folks.
I remember when whitehouse.com used to be some sort of soft porn site or some such thing. Looks like it's still privately owned.
My wife worked with someone at a place I'll just call XYZ. One of the people who got laid off got XYZsucks.com as a domain. They tried to sue him, but in the end, paid him a handsome sum for the domain.
No infringement but he was using it to run a chat room for ex-employees. They certainly didn't like having that out there. It's a tough lawsuit for a public company though. In the end they just bought the domain from him.
As one of the 25 million voters in New York, I will have to chose between a candidate that lies about how many people are going bankrupt and another that doesn't know what bankruptcy is.
( There aren't 25 million voters in New York. There might be 25 million votes recorded, however. )
Bernie's job is to make Joe look sane, but Joe won't cooperate.
Considering both guy's platform is to take away your rights, your jobs, make gasoline and natural gas more expensive than you can afford, and possibly enforce a State Religion, the sanity part is entirely relative.
