    I honestly think Clinton would have been a decent president, and that she was consistently smeared, but this is a terrible idea. There are lots of people who have bought into her being the antichrist and who could never vote for a ticket she’s on.

      I dunno like I get that people hate her, justifiably, but I find it very hard to believe that Harris is better

          Sorry I shouldn’t been more clear; yes she would hurt the numbers in terms of voting, but I meant that she would be better at actually doing the job

    She would have been amazing as a president, but if you really want to trigger a red wave of insane Trump voters foaming at the mouth about “her emails!” bringing back Hillary would definitely be the way to do it.

      I dunno, I haven’t forgiven that slavemaster for y’know, chattel-slaving Arkansas prisoners for the Governor’s Mansion while Bill was still running it. Note: when I say “haven’t forgiven”, what I really mean is “I pray for the spiritual successor to John Brown to appear every two weeks”.

    Okay, hear me out. Yes, Hilldog got the DNC nomination and lost what was supposed to be the most softball Democratic presidential victory in American history, giving us 4 years of Trump. But! But…what if we get her on the ticket with Biden, Biden secures the re-election. Hillary is Vice President for 4 years. Does a great job, makes a lot of people at Goldman Sachs very wealthy, pushes for new legislation to have black teenagers officially outlawed, etc. Then, at the ripe old age of 80, we get a Hillary Clinton presidential bid once a motherfucking 'gain. And then she loses to, oh, I’m gonna say…David Duke.

    Wapo columnists and Hillary can go jump off a cliff together. Everyone’s sick of them both.

      As they say, “opinions are like assholes; we all have them.” Also, “opinions are like kittens and everyone’s giving them away.”

    How about we all hold hands and vomit in our own mouths instead, continuously reswalllowing the vomit before puking it back up again.

    How is it that in a country of 300 million where half are Democrats, you can’t find a single politician that isn’t that isn’t a terrible choice for president? I’m asking as an outsider. Why would hilare be a good VP when she was destroyed for being a war mongering asshole? Why is Biden running against Trump while on deaths door?

      We don’t really decide who we get to vote for for president. The GOP and DNC pick “their people”, and then the people who aren’t exhausted by the concept try to pick the least bad one of the two choices.

      Because money is speech. Those with money are the loudest. Nothing more, nothing less. Running for office is unaffordable to the average person. By Design. The system could work. If campaigns were only publicly funded.

        Yeah. The primary election process is entirely a sham. We have no real choice in selecting the candidates.

          I mean, I guess in most countries it’s the parties who pick the candidates but at least there’s real choice of a handful
