  1. > However, Fallon pressed on, “I mean, it’s Biden versus Trump. What do you say to voters who are upset that those are the two choices?”

    > “Get over yourself,” Clinton said. “Those are the two choices. . . . It’s kind of like, one is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart, and really cares about people. And one is old and has been charged with 91 felonies.” While polling shows it will be another close election, coming down to mere percentage points, Clinton said, “I don’t understand why this is even a hard choice.”

    It really really really is not a hard choice at all. There’s really barely even a choice. Trump is completely unfit to be president and you’d have to be like literally in a cult or share his bigotry to think otherwise.

  2. I totally agree but also Hillary needs to stfu at this point. Whatever she says just inflames those she’s actually speaking to, and everyone listening to her already agrees

  3. She isn’t wrong. People who won’t vote for Biden because food prices are too high (president has almost no impact on this) or that he is too old are just being silly. Nothing Biden has done should outweigh what Trump has done. I would vote for almost anyone in the country over Trump at this point.

  4. I love that we’re repeating the 2016 strategy of “shut the fuck up and vote for us, loser.”

    Really energizes the base. 

  5. I am pretty sure I saw it on here.

    Voting is like a bus not a taxi. You aren’t going to get to your exact destination. The goal is to get as close to your destination as you are able.

  6. Telling the American voter to “get over themselves”. I guess we are too dumb and uneducated to know what a real president looks like.

  7. She’s been really right about a whole lot of things, and she’s right about this.

    She’s been consistently wrong about two things:

    1. When to run for president

    2. When to shut the fuck up

  8. “They’re not gonna vote for Trump, that would be crazy …”

    This was exactly the HRC campaign attitude in 2016 towards Bernie voters and the voters Michigan/Wisconsin and look how well it worked

    HRC, the campaign and their arrogance is what gave us Trump and having the same attitude will do it again in 2024

  9. ironic that it’s Hillary telling constituents to “get over themselves”

    if Hillary and her oligarch cohorts that strongly influence the DNC would get over themselves, we might have some nicer things in the States

  10. A friend of mine said Biden is scarier than Trump to him because of his elderlyness. I had no words.

  11. I realize that a lot of people expected Biden to not seek reelection because of his age, but I feel like the default position of any president is that they will seek a second term, and he never officially said he wouldn’t… there were just rumors about it. People should have been functioning under the assumption he would be running for reelection when they voted for him in 2020. If you voted for him in the primary of 2020, you REALLY have no right to complain.

    Trump is the anomaly here, not Biden. It’s extremely rare that a major party’s presidential candidate would run again after losing, and even more rare that a one-term president would seek a second non-consecutive term. Considering his actions after losing the first time, this choice to run again should be seen for what it is: a man hopelessly addicted to power trying to cling to it.

  12. How about all 3 of you old fuckers retire and we can have some new options?

  13. This comment is the exact reason why so many dislike Hillary.

    Does one candidate literally seek to end democracy? Yes. Is there a clear choice? Yes.

    But to be so *fucking snarky* to the base- that needs to turn out in a massive way- is just asinine. She is correct with the thought, but for chrissakes just stop talking down to everyone and be positive and encouraging!

  14. I don’t understand why the Democrats aren’t telling the Trump voters and fence sitters how Trump’s reelection will harm them economically. Social Security cuts, Medicare cuts, loss of rights and protections at work, etc. People usually vote their own interests and the Democrats need to make sure what a Trump elections will cost them.

  15. I’m still mad about 2016. I’ll never get over it. Ever. EVER.

  17. They dnc really sent out Hillary to talk down to voters, bc that worked so well before holy shit it’s like they are actively trying to lose this election

  18. It’s so embarrassing that when the dnc has to chose between listening to their voters or telling them to shut up and vote they always chose the latter then people are shocked when people don’t want to vote for them

  20. Anyone want to venture a guess as to how many people are going to show up and vote because Hillary Clinton told them to get over themselves?

  21. Idealistic of me to say but I wish we looked at people outside the major parties. Yeah sure, it’s “a wasted vote” but only because people keep saying that. The ball has to start rolling somewhere, and as numbers grow and people see that number grow they will realize it’s no longer a waste and hopefully jump ship. But who am I kidding

  22. Hillary completely missing the point as usual. The problem is not that it’s a difficult decision. The problem is that if you’re a sane human being who realizes that Trump is a disaster, you have no choice at all. People should have the opportunity to vote for someone they’re enthusiastic about, not forced to vote for whatever mediocre candidate the Democrat party shits out, just because the alternative is a lunatic.

  24. … Honestly, the people Democrats are desperately trying to reach are the ones who want nothing to do with Hillary and consider her a part of the problem.

    This is kind of tone deaf.

  25. This statement is an indictment on American Politics.

    These are your choices folks…..

  26. That’s not how you connect with people you want to vote for you. Calling people who will never vote for you “deplorables” is probably OK, but “get over yourself” is not how you address a Muslim or Arab voter who has good reasons to not be happy with what’s going on in Gaza.

  27. Never thought I’d say this, but Hillary is 100% right.

  29. Trying to motivate apathetic voters with insults is a bad move.
