You know who is laughably missing from this rant - Bernie Sanders. The guy who won’t release his tax returns. The guy who’s wife defrauded a bank for a school loan. The guy who has 3 homes on a congress person’s salary. You know - your fucking hero.

can someone find the high schooler who penned this facile garbage and tell him to send over the Senior writer’s actual article?

so what we’re saying here is that we’re going to be mad at a black former president for doing what every other white president before him has done. and a woman lost an easy election because she also did that sort of thing. and people voted instead for an “outsider”, a wealthy white man who is profiting off the

No. You’re the reason we have trump. All the dumb fuckers who were wishy washy about the most qualified candidate in history because she wasn’t the goddamn virgin descended and then decided to hem and haw all over the fucking place about it. Fuck you.

Your take on Obama deals with his decisions post-presidency. He can do whatever he wants. It’s a big stretch to say he’s a powerful person still. In what ways? He doesn’t have any control over our gov’t. He’s now just a smart, seasoned celebrity.

“Is it “okay” for Barack Obama to take a six-figure paycheck from a Wall Street firm for a speech,”

Is it okay for Obama to take this money?

You think his takes on politics are good, you should see his takes on yogurt.

Hillary Clinton just lost a gimme election due to her behavior of exactly this sort.

They deserve your support only if they adhere to the very highest professional standards -

Is this not the typical white guy reaction though? In general white people cant accept that racism is real until they see somebody hang a black person with their own eyes.

Most of the people I’ve seen complaining are white dudes and the POC that I know are pissed about the optics of telling a black dude to work for free.

The hatred I feel over how we have been continuously asking Clinton why she felt she should run, as opposed to every fucking rich white dude, ever, is almost as much as my hatred for white dudes who feel that the first black president should be the first to voluntarily not profit off if it because white dudes who know

A lot of this kind of “Clinton lost because she sucks” analysis seems to be missing that candidates exactly like Trump are popping up in a lot of Western countries (Philippines, France, England) and *winning.* Yes, Clinton may be uniquely awful and somehow The Worst Campaign Runner Ever, and yet many candidates that

Democrats need to do a better job of being unified. Every Dem think they’re the perfect Dem and anyone who has different views isn’t worthy of being considered a “real liberal”. The party rejects a lot of candidates or divides the support so much that it’s diluted and you can’t win.

The white backlash to having a black man running the country the past 8 years was all but inevitable to be honest.

I think she assumed the American electorate was reasonably intelligent and would be swayed by logic, reason, preparedness, etc. A devastating miscalculation.

It felt like every Trump gaffe, all 11,0000 of them, barely moved the needle, while any time Clinton stumbled a little bit, it was a huge swing in Trump’s direction. Almost as if voters just needed a reason, any reason, not to vote for her.

Ok I see. No matter how much Jezebel contributed to a Trump presidency by continually tearing down a progressive and qualified candidate they will never jump off the Clinton hate train because it gets too many clicks.
