      My favorite part of that is how he drops the voice and becomes serious towards the end.......pure catharsis

      is there any real life origin for the chapo template for hilary? The "I may not BE ______________ But I _____________"

      Or is it all extrapolated from the pokemon go to the polls?

          The little southern drawl she adapts because she’s in South Carolina is so annoying.

    What a self-congratulating piece of shit.

    Gotta give her some credit tho: Still hasn't taken it down, too prideful to do it.

      In the circles that career politicians and staffers run there is nothing about this tweet that is abnormal or embarrassing. There is no pretense that the account is actually run by Hillary, it's literally written in the 3rd person. Every ghoul knows to fake it until you make it and refer to their candidate as the next president. Hillary's downfall is that she has no awareness how anything is perceived outside of this bubble or that anyone even exists outside it.

      Honestly? Not much. Yeah a lot of focus is/was on individuals not believing in a pandemic, and therefore doing a bunch to spread it, but it's really a lack of education and aid from the government that has allowed this to spiral as it has. Sure, a Clinton administration might have done less obvious "science denying", but I truly believe they would not have done more to educate the public, offer aid to those who needed it, or do anything besides try to "help the economy during these trying times". Maybe means-tested tax rebates on food based on your 2019 tax filing.

          I think an HRC administration would have used that one act to force companies to manufacture PPE and would have bought more vaccines and planned distribution better.

          I think they’d still be incredibly hesitant to lock down and not willing to provide people the financial support they need in order to stay home. The business bailout would be slightly less nakedly corrupt. We’d probably be doing as well as the UK, which is not much better.

      She celebrated Reagan for "starting the conversation" about AIDS (after he silenced the surgeon general), she would 100% censor mortality rates like Trump.
