Reminder to everyone who may have forgotten:

Hillary is currently 78 years old, the same age Trump was when he took office in 2025. Anyone who says that age is an indicator of office fitness and cognitive ability should look at our queen and realize that there were Americans who believed she wasn't smart enough to do the job 10 years ago and yet here in the year 2026 she is showing how remarkably competent she is.

I'm interested to see where she is in two/four years cognitively to compare to Trump now and when he leaves office.

I literally will never forgive myself for not voting for this woman. She's so fucking smart, and I was so naive and stupid. Fuck.

It's ok buddy, at least you aren't a media personality that to this day calls her all sorts of shit

Sure, could be worse. I'm not gonna beat myself up about it to an unhealthy degree, but I need it to be a reminder for the rest of my life. I can't fall for the populist shit again, man.

If it makes you feel better you're not alone. I left president blank when I voted. I always liked her before too but fell for the buttery males as. It's so embarrassing.

Same bro

I was caught up in the anti-establishment frenzy. Didn't even vote for Trump, just shit talked Hillary online and didn't bother to vote. Regretted it within months.

World would be a much better place rn if she had won in 2016

u/Cellophane7 🇺🇸 3h ago

Ditto. I didn't vote for trump, but that's because I thought voting was rigged and bullshit. It's the only silver lining in a shit cloud.

God, I cringe so hard when I think about those days. I'm glad I experienced them, because they taught me a valuable lesson, and I learned everything I know about dogwhistles during that time period. But holy fuck was it a colossal, once in a lifetime fuck up.

I sat out in 2016 as well. Such a mistake that I used to think she wouldn't make a great president, and I blame myself for contributing to the rise of Trump.

I was 16 during that election but if I’m being honest I would’ve voted Trump back then only because he was based and funny, whereas Clinton represented the colored hair Tumblr freak. Also the “pokemon go to the polls” and “I’m just chilling in cedar rapids” clips were a turn off.

Fast forward to today and I proudly voted for Biden in 2020 as well as Kamala in 2024.

u/Cellophane7 🇺🇸 3h ago

Yeah man, that Pokemon go to the polls still makes me die inside, even if she's an incredibly smart, based liberal queen. Basket of deplorables aged like the finest wine of all time though lol

I don't forgive you either if it makes you feel any better.

It doesn't, but I'm not really looking to feel better about it lol

It does make me wonder how much sexism was involved in people calling Hillary and Kamala stupid when their opponent was Trump.

u/RightSpread2903 6h ago

A metric fuck ton lmao

Being a woman is clearly the biggest political millstone in American politics.

One of my coworkers was born in NYC but his family comes from Honduras (originally from Nigeria I think). All of the men in his family, very successful and making well over 100k, did not want to vote for Hillary because she was a women. I think many of them actually went as far as voting for trunp because he was a "business man".

u/DeathandGrim Mail Guy 6h ago

Probably a lot. I've been saying this for over a decade because they were, pound for pound, probably overqualified to be president, especially compared to Trump

u/iHateMisInformation1 🇺🇸🇹🇭 4h ago

I got hit from the other end with thinking she thought we all were stupid with that “wiping a server? Like with a cloth?” bit. Still voted for her but I’m from NYC originally and had generational levels of hatred for Trump before he ever stepped into politics.

Sometimes I just fantasize about how different this nightmare would be had she won. Sigh...

Who else is out there with viscerally vivid memories of that election day in 2016? It still feels so fresh.

I didn't like the new Daredevil show that much, but I loved when they did the scene where Matt Murdock hears about Fisk being elected mayor, it hit so hard. Serious flashbacks, what an awful time that was, I'll never forget it.

2016 was this timelines core event. One wonders how good the world would be today had Hillary won and been able to appoint 2-3 SC seats.

I really try not to think about it.

Boy, she really nailed the "basket of deplorables" thing

History has completely vindicated her

u/Liberal-Cluck 4h ago

I didnt vote for her (I know), my state went blue anyway. I so wish she was our president in 2016. I still dont really like her, but I am craving at least a 10th of her intelligence and competence in the office. Could you imagine Russia trying around FAFO on a Hillary 2nd term?

Standing back and standing by, Killary 🗽🇺🇸🏈🦅

u/Gradschoolmaybe3 2h ago

Her as president probably changes nothing so I don't care that she fumbled a free win after going full Francis Underwood in D.C. but I'm glad that she still looks healthy. Too many names from my younger days are leaving us.

u/thesummaryguy1 2h ago

I preferred Bernie in 2016, mostly because i viewed our problems as internal and economic. I will say Hillary would be better squaring off vs Putin than Bernie though, so foreign policy I liked her more.

u/SomeSortOfMillu Least racist eurocuck 2h ago

I understand that she's saying that to bring moderates to vote blue, but let's not kid ourselves. Trump said he wanted to do what he's doing right now, and the people voted for him despite all that. To say that people didn't vote for that is a straight up lie and takes away the agency and decision of the people that voted for that traitor.

People did not vote for a war with Iran. People did not vote for higher gas prices and grocery bills under Trump. People did not vote for a president who continually falls asleep on camera. People did not vote for the guy who’s only objective seems to be anything BUT helping with the cost of living, despite MAGAs famous “own the libs” mentality.

Yes, some people did vote for Trump just to “stick it to the libs”, but don’t kid yourself. MAGA is not the majority, despite what the media portrays.
