    Biden in 2024

    82 is too old to be fit for office

    Hillary in 2024

    at only 77 she really connects with the young voters

      the only time hilary clinton connects with a young voter is when she gets her twice weekly young virgin blood transfusions

        my favourite thing that actually happened is hillary going on an interview to deny that she drinks baby blood

        how could someone with such political savvy have lost an election

      If he doesn't endorse her, it's his fault

      If he does endorse her, he didn't do it full throatedly enough

        If he doesn’t endorse her, it’s his fault

        Including if he doesn't endorse her because he died of old age or something

      I feel like the Clintons have caused her enough extremely public trauma for several lifetimes.

        Yeah I just feel like seeing a survivor take these sickos on, especially on their own turf, would be cathartic and maybe even healing for others.

        Any of them could do it but Monica would be ideal. She had her name dragged through the mud by the media, they vilified her and in doing so they made her not only famous but infamous. Name recognition is the main thing Trump and Clinton had going for them in the primaries (at least as much as the primaries aren't rigged) and Monica has that.

        Not just Clinton's victims; all of them have nothing to be ashamed of about what happened to them because they did nothing wrong, it's the perpetrators who should be ashamed of their actions. Having someone like them say so unequivocally could lead to some real change. The MeToo movement can be resurrected stronger than ever and all of the worst people in the country can be brought to justice.

        Obviously doing this would be dangerous, maybe even suicidal because the :cia: killed :jfk-gaming: for far less but this time her death may trigger a revolution or maybe the edibles have kicked in and I'm just way too high.

      They're totally submerged in a system and media environment that gives them no other viable alternatives.

      As the liberals see it: The debate is between liberals and conservatives. The most left wing position is a social democracy like the Scandinavian countries. That's the absolute limit of the left. Anything further isn't really "left" due to horseshoe theory, it's just various types of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Liberals care about the people inside the country and care about freedom but also want some government intervention (how much is necessary can be arbitrarily increased or decreased depending on what the media tells them the situation is like).

      Liberals see conservatism - as a set of political ideas - as something that is different, but not foreign to their own belief system - you are supposed to be able to have a friendly, logical debate over these things as if things like healthcare expenditure and the military aren't things that actively kill people every single day. To them, the ideal conservatives don't want fascism, but as of 2016 they've had their minds melted by the increased influence of what they see as the completely uneducated hicks in the flyover states wresting a form of control over the Republican party. Why should they, who didn't even go to college, have any impact at all on the political system? They deserve all the poverty and immiseration they get for voting for their own oppressors in the form of the Republicans, and not their degree-bespeckled, means-testing saviors in the form of the Democrats! So they desperately cling to the idea that the "reasonable" Republicans who just a couple decades ago they hated can wrest control back of the party (e.g. the Lincoln Foundation) so they can start having reasonable, logical debates once again while the homeless die, opioids continue to ravage large swathes of the country, and foreigners get dronestriked.

      Given that the treats keep flowing inwards from the global south and conditions remain fine - not necessarily good, but nothing worth considering actually risking your career over, much less your freedom, much less your life - there's no reason not to believe in this paradigm. They've been insulated from the consequences of the American lifestyle on poorer areas of their country and the rest of the world generally for decades. It's all just an idealist charade insulated from the rest of material reality to preoccupy and entertain people. If you become a "political" person, that rarely means that you go out and do stuff in the real world, it just means that you attempt to remember what you learned in history/political classes, read a few autobiographies, and go and argue with other people online about things to make yourself feel better about how meaningless your life is and burn off any excess steam that might have been put into real-world endeavours if they weren't allowed to be blasted out into the void of the internet. Purely affectation.

        Liberals see most conservatives as “reasonable people” who don’t want fascism, it’s just a small minority

        Disagree with this part, liberals see most conservatives as racist, uneducated hicks.

          That's a good point. I think my initial idea was that the idea of conservatism is reasonable, just a different "vein" of thought that you can have friendly disagreements with and agreements with, rather than politics being the life-and-death contest between different classes that it really is in material reality, but then didn't really express that well. I'll edit to better convey it.

        Great concise explanation. I know it's 2 full paragraphs long, but that's about as concise you can get it without it being totally misconstrued (I'm sure someone would misconstrue it anyway)

      liberals, by definition, are just wealthy enough to be comfortable and not need the government (and therefore, leftism) AND they're also not rich enough to not care about lowering taxes. Libs are happy with the status quo, that's why liberal politicians don't promise anything, they run on america is already great and nothing will fundamentally change. Liberal politicians run on "if it aint broke, don't fix it", they have no reason to learn anything because there's nothing to learn. Hillary didn't do anything wrong, so there's no reason for her—or libs—to adjust. Even if we accept their version of reality, america still fucked up by letting putin rig the election, and that means something has to be different so they can't do that again. But since libs are incapable of changing, nothing can be done. Same with the January 6 they care about so much. They didn't actually do anything about preventing the next one in four years because that would necessitate admitting that something is wrong with the country, that checks and balances don't work. And they can't do that, they just want to go to brunch.

      Hillary runs against Trump again and by late September is on track to lose a second time, so the Dems do actual election fraud but with characteristic incompetence and the country balkanizes on the day of her inauguration

    Hilary/Trump 2024! The rematch of the century folks! It would actually be a gift. A gift from Satan. Can you ima how much more fun 2016 would have been unshackled from the last vestiges of electoral brainrot and hope for America to become less shitty? This is gonna be Gremlins 2
