Hillary Clinton lost not one, but two presidential elections.
One of which she lost against Donald Trump of all people but nonetheless, she
has thoughts on how to win elections and she gives her advice in this next clip.
Let's watch.
>> I think that it is a time for some careful thinking about what
wins elections, and not just in deep blue districts where a Democrat and
a liberal Democrat or so called progressive Democrat is going to win.
First of all, we don't know what the state of the map is going to be after all of
the redistricting.
It appears as though the Republicans in a number of states are doing
their best to eliminate as many seats that Democrats can be competitive in.
And so we've got to be very clear eyed about what it's gonna take to hold
the house and the Senate in 2022 and to win the electoral college,
because also Republicans are doing everything they can to create
an environment in which winning the electoral college even narrowly,
the way Joe Biden did will be out of reach for a Democrat.
So I understand why people want to argue for their priorities,
that's what they believed they were elected to do.
But at the end of the day, nothing is going to get done if
you don't have a Democratic majority in the house and the Senate.
And our majority comes from people who win in much more difficult districts,
and our majority in the Senate comes from people who can win in not just
blue states and hold those winds as we saw it didn't happen in Virginia,
but can win in more purplish states.
>> There's a lot to unpack in that video.
I'm just gonna make one quick point about how she notes
gerrymandering by Republicans as serving as a massive challenge for
Democrats to win in these congressional races, and decides that
the solution to that is to run as Republican light in purplish states.
How about do something about the fact that our Democratic process
is just being dismantled by the right wing?
I mean, it's like we're gonna go ahead and
just accept the fact that they're doing this gerrymandering,
and our response to it is to run Democrats as Reublican light.
Now, if you are the kind of voter who finds Republican candidates appealing,
why wouldn't you just vote for the Republican candidate
instead of the Republican lite Democrat running in that race?
They've done this for years, election cycle after election cycle.
They fail every time.
It's it's like they wanna lose, they love losing, Hillary Clinton loves losing.
That's why she's lost two presidential races, but
still feels the need to give us advice on on how to win, unbelievable.
>> Yeah, so when you say two presidential races, obviously,
she lost the primary to Barack Obama back in 2008 and
Obama at the time was pretending to be to the left of her.
I say pretending cuz they're the same person.
>> He was pretending.
>> Yeah, they're both totally ruled by the corporate class, and he did exactly what
she would have done which is give everything to the wealthiest and
corporations, okay?
But he was pretending to be to the left of her significantly, and
the voters in Democratic primary made their decision.
Now the media knew something we didn't know,
which is that Barack Obama didn't intend any of that that's why they supported him.
And with media help,
he was able to defeat Hillary Clinton because progressives are way more popular.
Anyone to the left is more popular and if the media doesn't ambush you and
assassinate you, you're gonna win, right?
So that's why Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the primaries and then, well,
the person on the left won the general election and then he won re-election.
But when she defeated the person on the left in 2016,
she went on to lose the general election.
Now you could get an obvious lesson from that, but
that's not what the media and politicians are paid to do, okay?
They're paid to lie to you.
And so now that sounds like a heavy charge if you're new to the politics in
America but it's not at all, have you think about it guys.
And the only reason why anybody would even be surprised by that charging as
the mainstream media, is because they've been brainwashed into a cult.
Because here is Willie Geist on NBC or MSNBC wherever they're doing this garbage,
like treating it like super seriously and
having an interview about how do you think we can beat Republicans like Trump?
>> It's unbelievable.
>> But wait, she's the one person who lost to Trump.
Why would you ask her how to beat Republicans?
And guys, she didn't lose like, it was an underdog campaign in college,
she had every advantage.
She had almost twice as much money as Donald Trump, she had almost the entire
media and everyone knows this whether you're a Democrat or Republican.
Almost the entire media backing her and against Trump, okay,
except right wing media and everyone was fawning over her in the elites,
every advantage and running against a guy who barely gets into the double digits and
IQ, and she's still lost.
Now I don't wanna rub it in, they get so mad at us.
They catch feelings when we say one thing that's true, right?
But she is the very last person we should take advice from on how to beat
Republicans.
That's anyone, anyone with one shred of logic would know that.
But yet every reporter in Washington is like, hey,
let's all go ask Hillary Clinton on how to win elections as if that makes sense.
And they genuinely believe it cuz they're brainwashed into their own cult.
But it's an alternate reality where Hillary Clinton was the winner.
She wasn't, she lost to a pathetically stupid, stupid man.
And it's not because Hillary Clinton is unintelligent, it's because
the country hates the establishment and she is the establishment.
Every word coming out of her mind was corporate rule is awesome,
status quo is the best.
Whatever you do,
do not listen to progressives who are going to challenge corporate rule.
>> I can't recommend Jonathan Allen's book Shattered Enough, okay?
It is a documented tale of how much of a loser Hillary Clinton was
in the 2016 election.
But putting that aside,
I do wanna get to the next video because she gets into details about policies
that she thinks actually ended up hurting the Democratic Party.
So let's watch an unfortunate pattern.
>> When Bill became president and pushed through a lot including the Brady bill,
the assault weapons ban, deficit reduction,
raised taxes on the wealthy people, forget that he lost the Congress two years later.
When Barack Obama came in after the worst financial crisis of our lifetimes,
not since the great depression, pushed through the affordable Care Act,
put through big stimulus programs.
You can argue wasn't big enough or not big enough, but he pushed it through and
we began a slow steady recovery.
The 2010 midterm was not good.
>> The shellacking as you called it. >> The shellacking.
>> Let's talk a little bit about that shellacking and
that economic recovery under Barack Obama.
And I think that it's important to hear from Barack Obama himself,
so you guys don't think that I'm just putting my bias into this or
putting words in anyone's mouth.
Here is Barack Obama in September of 2013 during an interview with
George Stephanopoulos, explaining what the economic recovery really looked like.
>> The gains that we've made in in productivity and
people working harder have all accrued to the people at the very top.
>> 95% of the gains to the top 1%, that is so strict.
>> It is and the folks in the middle and at the bottom haven't seen wage or
income growth, not just over the last three or
four years, but over the last 15 years.
>> That is President Barack Obama not in 2008, not in 2009, but
in 2013 explaining how 95% of the economic gains went to
the top 1% during the economic recovery following the 2008 recession.
>> And he says it as if he didn't have a role to play in it.
>> Exactly, exactly.
>> You did that, you built that in the words of your earlier campaign,
you made the decision to give trillions of dollars to the largest
banks in the world that caused the collapse in the first place.
You did quantitative easing, you had the Fed print all that money,
you gave everything to the richest people in the world and
when it came to helping people with actual housing problems and
we cover the stories back then, you gave them almost nothing.
>> You were fore closed on.
>> Yes, so all of this is corporate rule 101.
And look at Hillary Clinton.
She says, let's end the gerrymandering and the Republicans are doing unfair things.
By the way, let's be more like Republicans.
What?
Okay, but all right.
Now, the second part of that though is, wait,
are progressives in favor of gerrymandering?
No, we're the ones saying for God's sake, do the for the people act.
You know they're HR one, your theoretical top priority.
And by the way, we have anticorruption things in there which we know you're
never, never going to pass cuz you are corrupt Hillary Clinton, you are corrupt,
Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, etc.
But okay, at this point, we're desperate for
you not to burn democracy to the ground.
I know they're never gonna do the anticorruption.
So for God's sake, at least ended gerrymandering,
at least give us voting rights.
Who's stopping that?
The idiot, moron Joe Biden who hasn't lifted a finger for it.
>> Exactly. >> Civil rights leaders are getting
arrested every week in front of the White house cuz they're like, for God's sake,
aren't you gonna do the bare minimum you goddamn liar, right?
And he said, yeah, maybe I'll get to it.
My agenda is built back better.
I lit it on fire, oops.
And then Hillary Clinton blames Progressives were pushing him
to do the right thing.
It's your clown corporate friends that have done all of this damage.
And everyone in the media that takes Hillary Clinton seriously as a person you
should go to for advice on how to beat Republicans is an obvious liar.
So [LAUGH] we'll get the person who lost to a kind you could lose to [LAUGH].
The one we said had a 98% chance of winning,
the one we said was definitely gonna win.
And then she clowned herself and she made us all look like idiots.
But it doesn't matter, all you have to do is lie.
Now we'll all pretend she won.
Well, what do you think we should do?
How do you think we should win Hillary Clinton?
They say with a straight face, and then they can't figure out how they lost all
credibility and how their favorability ratings are around what 14%,
86% of the country hates you because you're obvious liars.
>> And Jake, just going back to what you mentioned,
what you referenced with the Build Back Better agenda.
No, understand what Hillary Clinton is saying here.
She is saying, helping people too much ends up backfiring.
>> Does it.
>> [LAUGH] That's essentially what she's saying.
What Progressives want to accomplish through economic policy is somehow
unpopular in purple states because if you happen to be a right wing voter,
you don't want help with childcare, you don't want universal pre k,
you don't want to help with elder care.
You don't want the child tax credits, you don't want help with housing.
Apparently, these are policies that are so deeply unpopular with Republican voters,
because somehow Republican voters are so different from everyone else when it
comes to bread and butter issues, except they're not.
There's a reason why Donald Trump's lies about economic stability, and how he was
gonna create economic stability in the country resonated with those voters.
>> Yeah, and so let me give you just one last piece of details here cuz the details
are so important.
If you noticed she said, my husband did a bunch of things.
She listed including deficit reduction, all these Progressive things.
Wait a minute, deficit reduction is not at all Progressive,
that's a neoliberal austerity program.
He ran that program, and that's why he lost the election.
Now, she ironically blames it on the people who are screaming don't do that,
don't do that.
And she goes, you see that we listen to them.
Well, you're a goddamn liar.
That's not what Progressives asked for, and you know that with 100% certainty.
Well, the guy's a moron, who knows if he knows it or not.
I mean, what's austerity?
I don't know, right?
What am I, a reporter [LAUGH]?
What does the script say on the prompter?
Okay, and then the Clintons were famous for triangulation.
What is that?
That is I'm going to be more like the Republicans [LAUGH] I'm gonna triangulate
between Republican and Democrats.
You know what that led to?
Not making your own case, instead telling everybody going halfway towards
the Republicans is a great idea cuz Republicans are right.
God damn, they voted for Republicans.
Milk blank Sherlock, yeah, of course, they voted for Republican cuz you told them to.
And then finally on Obama, he passed health care bill written by
the most right wing think tank in America, Heritage Foundation.
That's a fact, that's what Obamacare is.
And earlier,
it was called Romney Care cuz Romney passed the same thing in Massachusetts.
How many times have you heard that in mainstream media?
Almost none.
When in fact, when I say it in front of other reporters, they're like,
I mean that's true but it seems unfair.
Why is it unfair?
It's the same plan and you know what that plan was?
We wanted,
Progressives wanted universal healthcare like every other developed nation.
And he said no, you will not get universal health care, you will get the right wing
think tank version of health care and that will include a mandate to buy from
private insurance, you must by law buy from private insurance.
You see how Progressive I am, that's not remotely progressive.
And then they'll turn around and go,
you see we lost cuz of Obamacare cuz we did Obama Progressives a favor.
Nah, they're all liars, they're all liars and they've created a cult,
don't let them brainwash you.
In their Alison wonderland world, everything is the opposite.
Hillary Clinton won doing a deeply right wing policies is the progressive
thing to do.
The reason why Progressives are the number one enemy of corporate media and
corporate democrats is because we're the ones that actually defy corporate rule.
You want freedom, you want to rebel, you don't wanna obey anymore.
Look at what the reaction of the establishment is to Progressives.
It is obvious from their reaction they think we are the most dangerous thing in
the world to corporate rule and dominance.
They can tolerate Republicans till the cows come home but
Progressives sending Hillary, sending all of the media and attack, attack,
attack cuz those guys mean it.
They would end corporate rule and they would free America
