Hillary Clinton has a wretched political history and is deeply offputting to most voters, and she still won the popular vote. I don’t know how the conclusion from that is that women can’t win. Almost seems like the takeaway should be precisely the opposite.

She combines the fact that the base adores her with her willingness to say the populist shit Trump said in 2016 before he became too negatively polarized to say people should have healthcare. She’s also working the refs in liberal media to disavow Jewish space lasers.

Like Trump, she’s a very dumb human being with good political instincts. She knows Trumpism is a sinking ship, but she also knows 25% of the country is loyal to him no matter what. She is laying claim to being true MAGA until Trump abandoned the movement.

Realest shit I've ever read

Zohran just ran a campaign that was FULL of identity politics, but it doesn't fit into the same slot because it also promised free busses and tax increases and rent freezes. That's what left wing identity politics actually is. What they have is empty signifiers.

It's really a pyramid scheme because the centrists never stop saying that we have to give up identity politics, but the only people that use identity politics in the way they are criticizing is centrists who have nothing else to offer on policy
