Definitely buy old onion items. They used to write satire in a frankly impressive way. Now it all just feels reader-friendly. I used to have several copies of physical ink-on-paper onion newspapers they used to distribute for free in DC. I should find those...

When Company A acquires Company B, there is a rule that A can't influence B. I mean why on Earth would they want to?? It's like when private equity buys up some company. They do that because they really like that company and they don't change a thing!

e: you guys have a lot to learn about BUSINESS

You mean like how nobody gives a poo poo about the onion anymore? Typically when you change a company after buying it it's to increase profits.

Wrong! Hillary didn't do poo poo in the Midwest. just ask the many volunteers in key states who called HRC HQ in Brooklyn begging for material and human support but were left to fend for themselves because the campaign assumed it was in the bag. There are stories of field offices in Michigan and Ohio and Milwaukee having to raise their own gotv funds because they were ignored by the Brooklyn office.

One senior official told huffpo they neglected the Midwest on purpose as a show of strength to the Trump campaign, inflating their inevitability.

Bill loving Clinton himself the sax playing blowjob receiving darling of america who probably knows a thing or two about winning elections, was trying to get the campaign to pay attention to the rust belt and he was basically told "gently caress off old man" LMAO

Also, if you're going to triangulate to a political position in America, it's probably radical economic populism combined with anti-immigration and tough-on-crime rhetoric.

Shillary was really bad at triangulating to a popular position- she mostly targeted the demographics of her social clubs.

It's a shame the Clintons insulate themselves with yes men so effectively, I want the juicy deets of how fucky their decision making process was.

Hillary wanted to just... inherit the obama coalition. The same one she more or less told to get hosed after they made it abundantly clear they wanted bernie. All she had left was the bits of that coalition that dumbly supports democrats even when they're at their worst. Like if you voted for hillary i bet you would've voted for Hubert Humphrey in 1968 lmao

Clinton was so terrible she basically tied with Trump. You have to be truly awful to perform that badly. And Bernie was even worse than that! He managed to lose to Clinton by 10 points. Nobody outside of/r/politics thought Bernie Sanders should be president.

Just all the people with any degree of foresight. Also, cheating to win isn't democracy. Clinton lost to Trump because she doesn't try and hide the fact that she thinks the lower classes are scum.

It is pretty funny that people are still banging their drum of conspiracy-theory-this or dumb-stoner-socialist that without realizing that it was either Sanders or two people who despise this country, democracy and people who want to play a part in their own society instead of letting it be gobbled up in front of their eyes by vested interests. People love calling Trump a fascist because that's their new little watchword. Ironically, Clinton meets the same criteria so if Trump could be termed a fascist, so could she.

And since you apparently read reddit, here's a tldr for ya kiddo:
