The Former Guy held a Magarally in Ohio yesterday. He is moving ever closer to genuine Nazi rallies. Do we care? Actually yes we do. It is the Republicans who are terrified. If you support US democracy in general or Team Blue, we say

Let us first understand political reality. Trump is a FRINGE politician WITHOUT national appeal. He CANNOT win again in a national election. His political VIABILITY is kaput
It is REPUBLICANS who are worried about Trump. We want to #LetTrumpBeTrump

#ImStillWithHer #HillaryClinton
#ImStillWithHer trending reminds me of one of my favorite stand-up acts: obama just effortlessly destroying hillary clinton. THREAD WITH CLIPS
I love the way he plays on the crowd too, like a natural. when obama is running for election for himself, there are no holds barred and he will destroy whoever is on the other side. just look at this:
another one of my favorites, when obama turned hillary clinton voting against the bankruptcy bill and then saying she was glad to not see it pass into a comedy routine. btw remember bernie didn't bring this up at the debates in 2016 when asked to name one case of her corruption
When I see #ImStillWithHer trending in 2021, I'm reminded that Hillary Rodham's name is going to outlive the 2016 electoral college victor's name in the history (and her husband's name, too). And that's appropriate.
Damn, misogyny is wild.
The fact that people act confused about why I say the first woman to win a party's nomination & the pop vote for POTUS (also a former first lady, senator and secretary of state) will have a lasting place in history is something.
Y'all think history is only for powerful men?

I've been mostly absent during the Dems nominating process because, frankly, I knew that those whom I could possibly vote for to nominate in place of @HillaryClinton totaled zero.
ZERO.
I still believe that Clinton should have remained the Democrats de facto nominee in 2020.

I will always believe that it sends a terrible and destructive message to allow foreign agents, a rival candidate, and a rival party conspire against any rival candidate or party to steal an election.
Period.
I think that message became doubly so in 2016.

That nobody in the slate of 2020 nominees was able to forgo their own egos for sale of nation and party became unbearably depressing.
By refusing to fight for Clinton, the Democratic party and every nominee that ran, have made the political future of this nation much darker.

Every candidate has flaws, Hillary has plenty. Every campaign makes mistakes, even those that win. And it's ridiculous to argue otherwise.
But that's not the point.
Let's talk about all the ways people talk about how Al Gore fucked up 2000 or John Kerry 2004.

People don't have those conversations because blame for the loss in 2000 was almost immediately shifted, and rightly so, to the Supreme Court, and, they Swift Boated Kerry, am I right? Oh, and Americans don't like to shift Administrative gears in the middle of a war.

There are very few conversations people have about why any Presidential candidate loses an election. Because in a contest of two there is always a loser. It's ok, therefore, for men to lose an election. They've been doing it for over 200 years.

Listen, political relationships can be difficult. Jimmy Carter admires @HillaryClinton and the feeling is mutual.
In the late seventies Carter appointed Clinton to lead the Legal Services Corp, and under her leadership the agency flourished.
He knows her ability.

Over the last few years Carter has made some awkward comments about Clinton that he's had to clarify & even backtrack on. He is also in his mid 90s and recently survived brain cancer.
@ChrisMatthewsDJ was doing what he has always done (and the rest of the world with him).

And that is taking a moment, removing context, and then using that moment to define @HillaryClinton in the negative.
First, they were at a funeral. Decorum and respectfulness notwithstanding, such moments hardly lend themselves to open displays of conversation.

So, twice yesterday, and just now, for the second time today, a friend has written me about @HillaryClinton's intentions for 2020. Two have used the exact same phrasing in reference to it: "I want a rematch."
Another said, "She has to, she just does."
Run again that is...

She, by the way, had been a Sanders supporter who wasn't even sure she would support Clinton in the general until about three weeks before election day.

Conservatives can't let it go. They can't accept that they are wrong, and that they've always been wrong about @HillaryClinton.
Despite having been investigated several times by the most partisan and relentless individuals imaginable.

And the people investigating her have wanted, often (it seemed) needed, to find SOMETHING.

Almost everyday someone, somewhere, is wringing their hands about something the former Democratic nominee for President has done or said.
The amount of ink spilt concern trolling Hillary Clinton's every move since 9 November 2016 is nauseating on a real physical level.

The game being played, of course, presently, is one of futures. It began almost as soon as the immiediate dust settled in 2016. The loss was her's & her's alone they lectured, and if she keeps recklessly blaming Russia then Democrats will lose & continue to lose.

Why? Have a look at my TL. It's filled with reasons. Thread after thread. Find them, read them. As I've said many times before Google and search are your friends, and I'm not your teacher.
