I have a hard time taking this article seriously. I don’t understand why it feels the need to tout HC so fiercely.
I guess she was right about “deplorables” but everyone else was correct in pegging her as an out of touch elite. The DNC’s inability to back candidates that can help working class people continually emboldens right-wing extremists.
It’s not hard to see how the Dems’ center-right stances open the door for far-right reactions.
Yes, they are deplorables but HC is not one of the good guys.
I don’t understand why the DNC (as in the actual organization, not Democrat voters) is so god damn obsessed with Hillary. It feels like they would crown her queen if they could. Makes me wonder if she has some dirt on key people in their organization or something.
I think it has something to do with Democrats still feeling “hurt” over the absurdity of the Clinton impeachment and other sham issues Republicans have with her, that they have some need to redeem her image. Letting her go feels like accepting a loss.
Not a surprise given it’s from Salon. It’s a shitrag. I haven’t read this article but I’ve noticed a pattern based on other articles being posted around Lemmy. A third is rabble-rousing and pandering to the virtue signaling far left. Half is adjacent filler content. The rest is a valid meaningful point worthy of real discussion and has little to do with the headline.
Just noting the comment below about “Republicans are programmed due to their echo chambers”… Dude, if you believe that’s a republican-only phenomenon, you have been programmed by the echo chamber you follow. I’d love a source for “people who don’t follow the news have been shown to be more informed than republicans”.
Speaking of “echo chambers”, that full of shit comment is getting upvoted. You might find yourself currently inside the echo chamber.
As a liberal progressive, I’m worried that so many of us are falling prey to the tactics that have worked for conservative media for decades. I thought we were supposed to be more intelligent. It seems like tribalism really is all that matters - intellectualism be damned.
There’s definitely value in asking and not just googling. What you find on Google may not represent what the person making the claim is talking about. It’s often best to let a person speak for themselves and place the onus where it belongs.

Are they obsessed, or is it just that she’s not campaigning for anything and so she’s ripe for the media junket?

Yeah, it’s not hard to find. Shame you had to do it for them.
