Hillary Clinton: Classic or Dud?

Thanks : )

ah, look, this isn't even a hard argument for a socialist revolutionary to make. the problem is that the existing bureaucracies are ideologically in service of oppression of The People. obviously the solution is to get rid of the Oppressors' Bureacracies and replace them with institutions dedicated to liberating The People from their Oppressors.

this isn't a novel line of argument, and as to whether people will buy the same old bullshit all over again, well, they already are, aren't they?

this thread has become very intangible

xp and yet by nearly any measure quality of life has improved as those bureaucracies have proliferated soooooo

Definitely need more dirtbag leftists at OSHA to run the checklists on those chemical plants.

Also Dan S otm I think?

honestly is it really so much worse than the alternatives

Now you sound like a garden variety libertarian

I meant re thread derailment lol

OK now we share a lol

just large bureaucracies that murder children, ET

i mean that shitpile Albright even got a fresh NPR segment the other day

Brad you're just a centrist enabler

and yet by nearly any measure quality of life has improved as those bureaucracies have proliferated soooooo

for whom? i'm not thrilled with my QoL these days, and it will likely get worse.

however if Tom is hiring...

hillary clinton, a woman worth over 00 million dollars, is posting a gofundme to help cover the medical bills of someone who worked for her. there is truly no metaphor more beautiful for how rich people think

"all centrists talk alike"

I make that joke too. OK?

worst comedian of her generation

Except what other joke is there to make when white people still can't tell high profile or completely physically different black people or asian people or latinx apart. It's absurdly ridiculous in how tiresome it is.

She is not really the one doing something embarrassing there?

no, she's not. But I've already seen this circulating as a reason she's racist. So congrats everyone.

Like I just saw this on a the NIKE stream on a trading board where all the MAGA trolls like to hang out right now.

tbh I don't see the case for it not being smarter to just politely correct the interviewer and leave it at that but I also don't see why anyone should care either way

right, I just think it's funny how often HRC ends up with her foot in her mouth. cf. "CP time"

yerac i'm confused why anyone would make that joke it's not a good one
i'm also not comparing this to anything Trump did, jfc. I voted for Hillary, I find her gaffes inexplicable and amusing.

I make it all the time, because again I hear people confusing black people and asian people all the time. This shit is not hard. It's a way to correct someone jokingly while also fucking CORRECTING them for a super annoying subtle to pretty racist thing.

idk about that, I think what Simon said is the right move

ditto

there's a mortifying air of superiority to it when one white person does it to another imho

I mean I could tell you the crazy amount of random korean, japanese, vietnamese, chinese people that I was in the vicinity of or famous people that I have either been confused with or compared to that I look absolutely nothing like (and I'm half white).

ugh joke parsing is the worst twitter/ilx but imo this joke only really lands when it's 'we all look alike'

My spouse recently got two black famous people confused and literally was making a case for the mistake, because I said the "I Know they all look alike" until I put pictures side by side and he felt properly chagrined.

ugh joke parsing is the worst twitter/ilx but imo this joke only really lands when it's 'we all look alike'

xpost when I saw the clip and HC said it, I was like, BURN.

I mean the joke/trope is so old, but her timing was pretty good.

I hardly ever confuse black people with Asian people.

I thought this was pretty funny but maybe not the best joke to make in a public setting

I say this not knowing the color of everyone posting ITT, but sometimes with moments like this I wonder how many people are actually directly offended vs just arguing by proxy whether or not other people should/shouldn't be offended.

i think we're arguing about our pain at HRC uttering words in public

I personally just like making people feel bad about being lazy bitches.
