For someone who's never held elected office, Hillary Clinton was doing a fine job patting herself on the back for paving the way for Kamala Harris success on Maddow last night.
Okay, I didn't watch most of it. Or any of it, to be honest.
That self aggrandizing postscript Rachel fawned over was plenty.
DNC Old Guard? Your bus is leaving.
She was Senator, winning two elections before being appointed as Sec of State.
She was the first woman to run and get the popular vote only to lose the electoral vote.
It’s not self-aggrandizing, it’s history. She literally lost so Harris could win. Her loss opened the Presidency to women.

You're right, I even looked up "Hillary Clinton Senate" before posting that, saw Secretary of State, and didn't scroll further
She was probably the first politician who got me interested in politics, because of her fight for universal healthcare
yeah, I'm probably still kinda salty about that. And I might also still blame her for corrupting the DNC which "lost" Bernie's primary ballots, which unified the GOP in their hate to vote against her, which gave us trump, but I digress
And I think she once said she heard MLK speak, but still supported Goldwater, which seems weird.
I dunno, maybe I think if you cleared a path for others, then they should give you recognition.
Changing the final draft of your new book to give yourself credit for another's success is rather cringe, no?
To watch Kamala Harris and instead of showing immediate public support, she thinks
"yeah, I did that. Everyone should know that's because of me"
This attitude of reading a malicious darkness to HRC was also key in giving us a Turdmp presidency. It was manipulated incredibly well by Putin’s FSB Assange/Wikileaks psy-ops operatives mainlining propaganda right into the US mainstream via the useful idiots of the “alt-right”.
Many felt a nefariousness (and pedophilia, murder, evil) in her. It’s mind-boggling. She deserves plenty of credit for clearing the path for a woman POTUS. It’s a fact.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @feloneouscat
Just curious, were you saying the same thing two months ago about the folks who were advocating for Biden to step down?
Okay, you lost me.
How does Biden have anything to do with Clinton breaking the glass ceiling?
@feloneouscat @TheAbbotTrithemius
I was referring to the casual suggestion of being a trump/putin operative.
Because I heard that a lot of that about two months ago for some reason.
Which has literally NOTHING to do with Clinton, glass ceilings or pulling women up.
Basically what you have criticized Clinton for, men do with impunity and are never questioned.
@feloneouscat @TheAbbotTrithemius
Which is why it wasn't referring to your point.
And in the unlikely event Bernie reverses his position on Universal Healthcare, I'll drag him too.
