“Next year, America goes to the polls. Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment,” interviewer Beth Rigby said. “This, the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chats of ‘lock her up,’ directed at you. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it, that he’s now a former president that could face a jail term. How does it make you feel?”

Yeah it’s not great.

On the other hand Clinton would probably do more damage outside the US (She’d invade Atlantis for oil if she thought it existed.) Trump’s one silver lining was his ineffectual flailing at Foreign Policy.

I think US citizens should absolutely not hope for a Trump win, or think there’s no difference. But really it’s a dark choice if we do get Hillary vs Trump.

https://www.lennyletter.com/story/hillary-clinton-is-more-than-a-president

When people told me they hated Hillary Clinton or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Hillary Clinton. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”

I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to her, or Clinton’s fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories. I wish I had said, flatly, “I love her.” As if I had been asked about my mother or daughter.

I want to reverse the usual schedule of things, then. We don’t have to wait until she dies to act. Hillary Clinton’s name belongs on ships, and airports, and tattoos. She deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called RODHAM. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop “On the other hand” sexist hedging around her legacy. But such is the courage of Hillary Clinton and her supporters; we reverse patriarchal orders. Maybe she is more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself. The presidency is too small for her. She belongs to a much more elite class of Americans, the more-than-presidents. Neil Armstrong, Martin Luther King Jr., Alexander Fucking Hamilton.

I wonder what the phrase “I am set free by her” means to this freak. That sounds like a quote from a serial killer film. Scrawled across a wall in blood.

When people told me they hated Kim Jong Un or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Kim. I am in awe of him. I am set free by him. He will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”

I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to him, or the Kims’ fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories. I wish I had said, flatly, “I love him.” As if I had been asked about my mother or son.

I want to reverse the usual schedule of things, then. We don’t have to wait until he dies to act. Kim Jong Un’s name belongs on ships, and airports, and tattoos. He deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called JUCHE. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop “On the other hand” imperialist hedging around his legacy. But such is the courage of Kim Jong Un and his supporters; we reverse capitalist orders. Maybe he is more than a president. Maybe he is an idea, a world-historical hero, light itself. The presidency is too small for him. He belongs to a much more elite class of Koreans, the more-than-presidents. King Taejo, Yi Do, Kim Jong fucking Sung.

its 2024, you’re a rank and file dem organizer of some kind.

you keep getting calls from both hillary and obama. they seem contradictory, but also cryptic enough you’re not sure wether to tell people to stay home or vote for the corpse previously known as president biden

That’s a nice idea but the federal government will utterly crush them. The feds are incredibly well-armed and have all our communications tapped. Such an insurrection would be stopped as soon as it started, with all the governors arrested or drone striked.

As if that wouldn’t cause even more tension? That would be a complete undoing of our state vs federal system, basically a constitutional crisis.

But before that, how much of the military do you really think is going to be loyal to Hillary Clinton? It would be a proper civil war, not a quickly crushed insurrection.

Hillary losing again would be too funny tho. I would never actually support the GOP nominee, but I would just be ready to have a really good time if she loses.
