Well, least she finally begins to learn something from that election.
Good riddance. Whoever managed to mess up what should've been an open and shut campaign against the worst presidential candidate ever fielded in decades, has no more credibility to continue in politics, especially considering that she refused to see her own mistakes and passed the buck to blame others instead.
Thank fuck
Maybe the Dems can actually win the next election now
Here comes Chelsea with mama pullin the strings
thats awesome
i wonder what equally as shady, equally as awful person the democrats will pick to replace her
Pretty sure she's said this before

I'm not gonna jump on the "fuck Hillary" train because honestly I can understand this. She fucked up hard and now not only is the entire nation is paying for it, but she's had to essentially abandon her political career for it. I'm sorry for her, not just because of the effects her loss will have on the country but also how it's going to affect her life and her family's life.

NO JUST LEAVE PLEASE GO BACK TO THE SHADOW REALM
We don't need corporatism in the Democratic party anymore and hillary clinging on is the last ditch attempt to keep neoliberalism alive.
Good riddance. She ran the worst presidential election campaign in modern history, second only to Donald Trump himself. If people disliked and distrusted her enough to choose [B]him[/B] as an alternative, then she has no chance of winning against literally any other person in the country. Her only job at this point is to go down in history as the person who somehow lost the race to the presidency against an explicitly dangerous lunatic.
I feel moderately sorry for her. She's run a political career for decades.
Don't give up on your memes, Hillary!
I would quit also if I had lost to Donald Trump

pretty much
hillary isn't in power, she's not really in a position where she can do stuff anymore. in all honesty we shouldn't be directing any more energy at her considering that we have trump doing ten times as much damage as she ever could now
Maybe if the final stretch of her campaign wasn't accurately describable as "showboating", Trump wouldn't have ran up and passed her right before she reached the finish line.
Instead she didn't bother to hold any sort of major PR event, said "I don't even think about Trump anymore", and spent more time writing and publishing a book about her victory. That's a gaffe that will go down in history as one of those silly fun-facts you tell others so you can laugh at how much of a fool that person was.
I'm not getting on the "fuck Hillary" bandwagon but she has no one to blame but herself and whichever advisors she listened to that resulted in her running such a weak and aimless campaign. She felt she was so sure to win, because she was running against Trump, that she didn't even bother campaigning near the end. She was so smug and assured of a victory that she deserved to lose. If she thought that was a great idea for a campaign, she's clearly unfit for office. So is Trump, but she made a huge, obvious mistake and lost the election over it.
Unfortunately, the world is paying for her hubris. I can understand how it'd be hard to get out of bed and face yourself when this is what you've done, but I can only have so much sympathy when I consider why it happened. [sp]Never mind what could've happened in a Bernie v Trump election.[/sp]

and she threw it all away with a shit campaign
To be fair, by the time the next election begins, I doubt she'd be able to run, period.

How about you just fuck off forever and let someone else try to pick up the pieces, you've done enough damage as it is. What exactly qualifies you for being able to "help" the Democrats when it's almost entirely you and your campaign's fault that they're in such a poor state as it is?
I'm really not that big on Trump, to be honest, but Hillary's constant stream of failure and missed goals is probably the fattest, nicest chunk of schadenfreude I will ever enjoy.
I can't think of someone who's failures have given me legitimate happiness besides hers.

She should've spun it around and tiraded against the Electoral College. Gore needed to do the same after he won the 2000 election (Bush was defeated by more than 543,000 votes). I mean she [i]did[/i] actually win. Trump lost to her by almost 3 million votes, and that's a decisive fucking margin to beat somebody by when we're talking about the national popular vote. The majority of Americans who voted chose her and rejected him.
But whatever. Politics is politics. At least you'll stop ruining the Democratic Party.

I believe Chelsea has said before that she wouldn't run in 2020.

Oh no so sad, these poor miserable millionaries are totally ruined because the matriarch is the most hated woman in America :(
so sad, can we set her a GoFundMe? that poor miserable family :(((
/s
I'll play the world's tiniest violin to this moronic post.
Now if she could just take Trump with her, that'd be great.

You don't have to shit up the thread though
Thank Fuckingtyfuckfuck Thank FUCK.
She would be an awful leader if ever some how given the chance.
I realize I say that in the wake of trumps god awful leadership but at least that's one less lunatic to worry about being in office.

[sp]Would've been far better than Trump,[/sp] but what's done is done. The chance of a new administration before 2020 is possibly waning in recent events, but there are many ways in turn to wane the power of the current administration and wax in favor of the majority of people. Mail in your interests congressman, senators, and organizations to push towards the interest of yourself and those similar. Start or participate in organizations to spread interest of ideas that work to the favor of a large amount of people. In general, find ways to promote concepts that could improve life and make it heard to those who hold power.

No need to be an ass.
Imagine an alternative universe where Hillary didn't fuck the entire nation, Bernie Sanders is president, and the Dems hold Congress; we would actually be making real progress towards preventing further climate change, fixing our healthcare system, and modernizing our education system.
Now instead because of her shit decisions we're just bombing another middle eastern country and going backwards on the other things.
I don't feel sorry for her in the slightest.

I'd say Trumps was even worse, which ironically is why he won
