No it’s not. She’s trying to pick up moderate Republican voters who are dissatisfied with Trump as their nominee. This was a blatant, bald-faced lie told for the purpose of cynically pandering to the room. It's actually a very Trump tactic.

I really hate that idea that once a person is dead, you have to pretend they were great even if they were shit. Either say nothing or find some innocuous funny anecdote about the person and leave it at that.

If that’s what this is, she’s a fucking master. I just don’t know if she’s that slick.

WHY would she even bring HIV up?! There are two possibilities here and both knock Hillary down several levels. Either she is totally ignorant on the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in this country and the inexcusable way it was handled by the government or, far worse, she deliberately ignored that fact to compliment…

That doesn’t mean you lie about people and say those who did great damage actually helped. That’s an insult to all who died of AIDS in the 80's and their relatives who lost them. So, that insensitivity and spoken untruth lies squarely on Hillary’s shoulders.

This might be the beginning of her shift towards the general election, and trying to pick up some easy goodwill with those in the GOP who are very disillusioned with Trump.

I can’t actually believe this. HRC stans are defending this. I am actually amazed.

There have gotta be about 978974654654654 ways to avoid “speaking ill of the dead” that don’t also posit the motherfucking Reagans as thought leaders on the AIDS epidemic. Gimme a break.

Because she’s a centrist, and deliberately trying to pull Reagan Democrats (who are now Republicans) back into the Democratic Party.

She literally could have talked about anything else though. Even D.A.R.E., which was an epic joke, certainly started the conversation about drugs much younger and made it a community issue not just a parental issue. Or you know, just being a nice lady or whatever. People can still pick apart that but at least it has…

THANK YOU. I am SO FUCKING LIVID about this that I can’t even find an adequate animated gif to express myself. Which is really saying something.

“Why Is Hillary Clinton Trying to Rewrite Nancy Reagan’s Shameful Inaction on HIV/AIDS?”

I dunno. Why was she the last major democratic politician to endorse marriage equality? Why did she freak out at the State Dept and veto letting same sex parents put parent 1/parent 2 on passports?

Do we sense a pattern folks?

is this satire

Wow. You are seriously defending this? There are a MILLION things she could have said about Reagan that are true. ‘Strong first lady, amazing courage during her husband’s assassination attempt’ and she went for this. How do you think you are progressive and spout this kind of stuff?

Has HRC ever done anything wrong in…

artist’s rendering of me first reading this quote:

Many of the people leading the fight against abortion are white cis women, i.e. people who theoretically may need an abortion (or may have already had one, and are massive hypocrites).

I think that is how most people feel. I am just not ready to give up hope yet that it will be Bernie. I am phone banking for him tomorrow and going to the rally in my area. I am a big ole Lefty McLeftykins though, and I know that it isn’t a position shared by everyone. :-)

It will never matter how incoherent Andrea Mitchell is. Her husband is Alan Greenspan. That’s what matters to the network.

So, MSNBC isn’t this liberal bastion of everything that is great about being a Democrat? Shocked face. Aside from Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow, they’re just like every other cable news network. Fuck ‘em.

As a black women: no one cares bitch. Fuck, nothing I hate more than white people who ‘check their privilege’ and think that is a political statement. Like, no, that shit just makes you feel better, it’s like saying you are ‘praying for the victims’ after a shooting. FUCKING DO SOMETHING.
