Yes, her husband was president.
Having a prince that never takes the throne, does not make a dynasty.
She believed she was going to win, because of the support she had at the DNC. Such support, that you can make the case of collusion.
Yeah, they run heavily on the Clinton name, because a lot of people have fond memories of Bill's presidency. It was the last president before neocons wanted to live to the con in their name. As McCain in 1999, if you think this is liberal angst against neocons.
I love posting this, because people forget that the current political climate is not the norm. This is a fairly new development that is only going into its third president. Here is the GOP platform from the year that would lead to neocons taking over the GOP:

That sounds downright progressive...We meet at a remarkable time in the life of our country. Our powerful economy gives America a unique chance to confront persistent challenges. Our country, after an era of drift, must now set itself to important tasks and higher goals. The Republican Party has the vision and leadership to address these issues.
Our platform is uplifting and visionary. It reflects the views of countless Americans all across this country who believe in prosperity with a purpose — who believe in Renewing America's Purpose. Together.
This platform makes clear that we are the party of ideas. We are the party that follows its bold words with bold deeds.

I thought Romney was Bane? Makes me want to do politicians as Batman characters... off topic... cannot resist...
Hillary - Enchantress (needed the satanic angle and wanted someone who plays the hero at times.)
Trump - Scarecrow (Not going by looks obviously and staying away from the memes. Leaning heavily on the fear toxin. Injustice fans calling for the joker... it's not canonical!!!)
Banon - Talon (before the court of owls saga)
Schumer - The Weeper (lulz)
Bill - Bat-Mite (to Hillary's batman)
I said bat-mite... am done...

I could have sworn one of the top issue concern trolls whinge about is the left not being able to look at itself and make corrections. but as soon as they do it's "lol eating their own!", it's almost as if your concerns aren't as genuine as you pretend them to be.
Post is overblown. Biden doesn't say that Hillary wouldn't have been a good president. He does not so subtly say that there were far better candidates.
He's right.
PS: Yes, the irony of several outlets like NYT or WP using this kind of title to completely misrepresent a quote don't evade me.

Political left, right similarly motivated to avoid rival views
[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
Don't you have some battles to partake in Tony? Dust off that larping gear and get out there, soldier!
She was a completely terrible candidate. This isn't even really disputable since, well, Trump won. Any remotely decent candidate from the Dems would have beaten Trump.
This really isn't news.
I'd much rather see news that the Dems are getting their shit together and becoming a real grassroots progressive party rather than this quasi center-left, but mostly center, lobbyist-beholden mess it currently is, but alas...
