Hillary was right about everything & I will die mad that Trump was elected at all. Personally I get tired of the whining & complaining about the Democratic system because it could be so much worse. The founders knew it wasn’t perfect & will never be perfect, but they expected us to make it better, so are we? The press were always the ones that exposed bad actors to us. Instead we have fox not news lying about the candidates & just about everything else.

If you want to vote again & be in control of your representatives than you better Ride with Biden, not go to the dump with Trump.

This is a situation where a broken clock is right even twice a day. And I'm referring to the conservative commentary. Clinton lost because she's arrogant, thinks she know better, and talks

with the tone of talking down to every voter that doesn't completely agree with her, which is part of the reason the left was so surprised that she lost. She may be absolutely right (and I agree with her) but 93% of communication is not about what you say but how you say it. The Biden campaign should respectfully ask her not to make any public appearances until after the election. She actively hurts Biden's campaign by reminding people why they voted for Trump in the first place.

Both are elderly.Butv there is a mjor differnce between the two men.Biden seems very caring,and compassioante,trying to establish unity through kindness & reason.Bit on the other hand,Trump is quite nasty,bloodyminded & tries to prmote didvision through fear,and hatred.Trump preaches that he's a"Real Christian",that he's supposedly veyr much against Abortion & even tries awardly to sprout a few biblical verses.But his personal actions are very,very much the opposite.He sprouts really violent Hatred & even promotes violence against his political opponents,threatening toactually Execute Biden,and the retired Army General Major Smiley who was a member of his presidential cabinet.Plus,as mentioned before,he tries to promote Division through promoting Fear & Hatred of Immigrants,Nonpwhites,and various other groups.

I´ve been avid reader of the USA:s politics for years now, and in my opinion you should have moore parties than the two main ones... maby 3-5 total, so there´s moore oppinions about the worl around you than the main parties - therefore the often extreme views would be fever and the conflicts of your political arena could be moore stable effects ? Here in Finland we have now 7 parties in our `congress´ and have moore dialog and compromises in the political arena and fewer clashes in society...well apart the occacional strikes from the labour side, but overall we have been selected to be the nr. 1 contry in the `happiest´ list of countries I think 3 times in a row - so there´s something we do better ?

The 2024 election is not about telling those on the left what they already know: DJT (P01135809) is evil. It's about telling voters what Dems plan to do to reverse the economic and social abuse of the last many decades if elected. What will Dems do to repatriate the $50 trillion stolen by the 1% from the 99% since 1975? What is their plan to stop all the voter suppression perpetrated since SCOTUS decided the nation no longer suffered from systemic racism? What is the Dem plan to neutralize and prevent Project 2025? They need a Grand New Deal to end this disgusting election stalemate!

Not only are Dems not telling us how they are going to save our democracy and protect the working class, they are wasting campaign funds on appealing to anti-DJT Repubs. These Repugs may vote Biden, but they will vote Republican all down ballot to keep him in check.

Many factors contributed to Hillary's loss in 2016. One was her neocon (war mongering) foreign policy which Biden has been applying. Fighting the authoritarian aggression of Putin in Ukraine is the right thing to do, especially if we aren't maintaining a stalemate. On the other hand, arming the authoritarian aggression of Israel in Gaza is inhumane and shameful. Hillary also lost because of her authoritarian nature that is on display again. Luckily Biden has mellowed from his more agressive neocon attitude of the past.

I will vote for Biden and, unlike anti-Trump Republicans, I will vote Dem all down the ballot. I'm just not confident that Dems have a plan or will gain enough control to do anything more than delay this third attempted oligarch funded coup.

Hillary Clinton just said the truth. I think she was addressing Fallon and those in the MSM who have been whining about Biden's age ad nauseam, unable to talk about his accomplishments or his plans for the future. I was a Bernie Sanders supporter in 2020 and was disappointed Biden became the nominee. But I voted for him in the general election because it was a no-brainer. 2024 is a no-brainer too. We've got the same exact choice we had in 2020 this time around, only difference is that Joe Biden has a fantastic record to run on with many accomplishments. Yes, MSM, GET OVER IT!!!! You aren't going to get anyone else. You have to dance with the one who brung ya'. Most in the MSM seem to get that our democracy is in danger from a Mussolini-wannabe, but then they shortcircuit over Joe Biden's age like it's some kind of disqualifier.

Yes, Hillary is right again, the followers of Trump are deplorable, because they can't learn from their mistakes. And people who talk about a third party candidate in a two party system need to take a course in political science or get in line behind the 214 officially recognized political parties that we currently have.

In other words? TRUMP IS A RAPIST. I will now steal the alt right's talking point, but use it correctly: "If you are a woman, you would be a 'fucking moron' to vote for a RAPIST who is afraid of women."

I view Hillary Clinton the same way I view obnoxious parents in the stands at any game their kids are playing.

Lower the tone - it's really hard to listen to the vehemence. She might have spoken truthfully, but her dismissive "get over yourself" is just going to make some people dig in their heels in order to stay standing. It's unfortunate she chose to be condescending, but that's also who she is - why be surprised by it?

The Trump base is obvious to me: They want him elected so he can pardon himself and other people who are currently being repressed by the legal system. They also are good at repeating what they think is true without checking to see whether it really is true.

Trump is also condescending. Think about how important that is.

When I was learning about business, the idea of being cutthroat was discussed. It's better to not drag opponents through the mud. Doing that works against you. What works better for PR purposes is to work on your own merits and seek solutions to current issues. Let the competition be who they are - and help them if possible.

I don't align with any political party. Biden has made some poor decisions. Trump is a poor decision defined. I used to be republican but I cannot align with the GOP when they insist on being obstinate. Democrats are also obstinate, so it's not really a distinction - except to look at what they're being obstinate about. It's like a playground fight and we need to understand how it devolved into chaos.

Politics - 'nuf sed.

I'm definitely on Stephen's side on this one what Hillary said was very rude, elitst, privileged, dismissive, condescending and extremely smug and out of touch with the average voter who are independent and not completely aligned with either party and honestly don't have Hillary anywhere near a public platform this election clearly she hasn't learned ANYTHING from her loss in 2016 and the whole "Deplorables" comment and she's still so bitter about it to this day its a shame really. "Get over yourself" is rich coming from her lets just say that it's what cost her the election

The last thing you want to do in an election (especially with an election as crucial as this one) is alienate undecided and independent voters and/or piss off whatever base you have left (and for Biden he's definitely lost a lot of key voter demographics like the youth vote and various minority votes like African Americans and especially the Arab vote which has completely vanished thanks to his terrible handling of the Gaza situation)

Telling voters to "get over yourselves these are your 2 choices" is not only NOT true with 3rd parties and independents like RFK jr. & Jill Stein and others in the running but it's definitely the wrong message to voters who are disgusted with both incumbents and even more disgusting when Biden is not listening to voters concerns over Gaza or any other issue that's controversial.

This appearance plus that huge fundraiser that Biden, Obama & Bill had in NYC recently with all the rich folks and celebrity appearances (where Obama also made a condescending comment towards a palestinian protester and overall werent kind to the protesters inside the event) are so out of touch and privileged where it doesn't matter how much money they raised it's only gonna turn away more and more voters.

Biden should be listening to voters and doing what the voters tell him to do not whatever the donors or insiders think because all the protesters on the street following him whereever he and other people in his administration goes, the US vetoing and abstaining ceasefire resolutions at the UN and still controversially backing Israel is not a good look for him & the country no matter what he's accomplished before which is middle of the road if you ask me and all this virtue signaling and pressuring voters to vote with the lesser of 2 evils because "Trump bad" is not good enough and it's not helping his campaign like Stephen said Biden is not worried about Trump he's worried about people coming to the polls at all because Americans at the end of the day don't care as much about Trump's legal woes, they are more worried about their lives and putting food on the table and often times they are detached from the average voter and don't understand what they are going through.

This election will go either 3 ways: people will vote for Trump out of spite, vote 3rd party especially with RFK Jr. Becoming a more popular 3rd option or they'll stay home with the last two being the more likely scenarios and it certainly doesn't help when you have Democratic elites (especially from the mouth of Hillary Rodham Clinton) and diehard supporters and influencers fearmongering & shaming voters on a daily basis that don't stick to the status quo.

Again telling voters to "get over yourselves" or "vote blue no matter who" or "suck it up" or "it's not the time to play Politics" or any of the "fall in line but Trump lesser of 2 evils" crap is not gonna get people motivated to get out of their seat to vote and and its this kind of smugness that will be Biden and the Democrats downfall especially if he dont change course on the Gaza situation (its why the uncommitted vote was successful) and if Trump wins Biden and the Dems will have no one to blame but themselves for being so dismissive to the voters they made that mistake in 2016 blaming the voters and dismissing their concerns and it still looks like the Dems have not learned a damn thing and with each passing day Biden's re-election chances are slowly going down the drain so much that he just can't "but Trump" his way out of this he just can't who knows what will happen between now and November but it's Biden and the Dems fault if they lose NOT the voters
