No chance in Hell. It’s called THIRD PARTY.

So why weren’t you crying over Sarah Palin?
Yeah, it was a completely brave move to finally swallow Hillary Clinton as our presidential candidate, 25 years after she telegraphed interest in the job. The lady who sucked so hard at campaigning she blew a dominant advantage and lost to a fucking black guy. In the United White Supremacist States of America. (I…
What I find most amusing about this is if you listed her views on a piece of paper with no specifics or identifying information, I wager most moderate Republicans would vote for her on national security grounds. So would most Democrats, because on the social stuff while she’s a product of her time and has troubles…
i think she’s competent i just can’t see how she’s center left. the only “left” positions she has are social issues, LGBT rights, abortion. Just because the GOP hijacked those issues to dupe the religious nuts doesn’t actually make those “left” positions. They’re human rights issues that make you despicable for…
The vast majority of Democratic voters who dislike Clinton fall over themselves for Elizabeth Warren. The entire point of this blog post is absurd. Anti-Obama voters don’t hate Obama because he’s black, they hate him because he has a D after his name. Everyone hates Clinton because she is a center right Republican…
riiiiight, because liberals for the last 4 months have been calling Ted Cruz a disgusting fish monster hell beast with all the charisma of a snot rocket, but it’s only women that are criticized for being uncharismatic.
She doesn’t have to be matronly. She could be exciting and revolutionary if she wanted to and it would be fine but she doesn’t want to be that either.
Yes. Yes they are. This is the country that flipped out because Princess Leia got fat. http://emoo.kinja.com/for-the-rebell…
Except, she’s more incompetent than competent. Look at the speeches that she refuses to release the transcripts for. She has been hammered because of them. Do you think when she gave those speeches, she didn’t know she’d be running for president? Do you think she didn’t know what the public’s reaction would be? Did…
It’s not as if she is the first candidate to have an article written about why they are unlikable. Mitt Romney had multiple articles written about how he was as likeable as a robot, because he was essentially a robot. I think what this author is trying to say is candidates need to be able to connect with voters on…
But you are making the same mistake that Al Gore made, the same the Jimmy Carter and John McCain and George HW Bush made: merely being “qualified” for the job isn’t enough. George HW lost to a Charming Southern Boy, not a more qualified person. Al Gore lost to “a guy you would have a beer with,” not a more qualified…
Then the intellectually honest criticism of Brooks’ post would be to point to the litany of justifiable reasons people have for disliking her in addition to the irrational one of misogyny. Those would be (buckle up):
Yes, of course. She needs to be warmer and more grandmotherly
I think in most cases, people dislike her for one set of reasons or another. Assholes, also known as "Limbaugh listeners" and "conservatives," are I think more likely to dislike her for purely sexist reasons, she is a "ball-busting bitch," she is frumpy, she is pushy, shrill, a termagant. But nice and good people also…
Bernie Sanders record isn’t nearly as garbage or corrupt as hers. I can confidently say Bernie’s not the reason I worried about losing a friend in Iraq. Or why I know of people who did die. Or that thousands died in Libya because of her planned intervention.
Define viable? Sanders often polls higher than Clinton in a matchup against Trump. Unless you have a diffirent definition of “viable” then the one I have?
Well, David Brooks is a moron, to be fair.
I don’t think that Jia is trying to say that the only reason why she is disliked is simply because she is a woman.
She is not the most viable, she is literally the most unfavourable Democratic candidate in modern history. If facts are hell for you, there you go.
