    Money… she’s probably so hooked into the fundraising loops that ostracizing her would risk the DNC and Democratic Party losing a fuckton of cash. And since we know that winning and losing don’t really matter to the political parties, only that they can keep the donor money rolling in… shrug-outta-hecks

      That’s exactly what I mean though, why? Why don’t those fundraising loops kick her out for sucking so bad and being annoying?

      If you’re a mega-rich white liberal donor, why would a call from her make you donate that sweet sweet cash? The incredibly unlikable woman who lost the layup election to the scary orange man? I just can’t fathom her being an effective fundraiser.

        She lost to Trump but she is also literaly the wife of the last white good Dem president. Its all team sports along with personal connections. The people she influences are all people perpetually stuck between 1998-2008. Yes she lost to Trump but so what? Its not like the actual Dem leadership or wealthy core actualy lost anything, they’re not even embarrassed, they have already admitted it was a fluke and/or it was the fault of those incompetent “pol science” guys Nate copper adjacent grifters.

        They keep telling themselves its all because they hired the wrong people, not because they suck as politicians etc.

        Also go back to the slogan, the people that support her unironicaly believe it was her turn, its not a slogan, its a real belief. I doubt that changed at all, she still “deserves it”. Guess why? White, powerful, rich with a long resume and wife of their idol.

        Maybe they threaten their donors with a call from her? “Donate to the dems or else we’ll get Clinton on the line.”

        spitballing here: what if it’s corruption stuff? Like if the Clinton Foundation was talking to Biden to make sure that you’re the people they buy high fructose corn syrup from and you’re also the one who gets to have mineral rights in Palestine, then you’re throwing Biden $2,000,000 because Hilary asked for it.
