Finally, common sense! Democrats are at long last (albeit in an election year) starting to say that these unnecessarily created issues are seriously damaging to the Party's election prospects. Reality sucks for the deluded. You're power is diminishing, T's. You are being abandoned in favor of political reality.

So, will HRC now get death threats from the TRA's? Will she be viciously attacked like J.R. Rowling? Are DL's TRAs going to call her names now? As for me, I'm going to get some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show. The pendulum of reality is moving against this nonsense.

HRC says: “Democrats seem to be going out of their way to lose elections by elevating activist causes, notably the transgender debate, which are relevant only to a small minority,” she said to the FT.

“We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy, and everything that everybody else cares about then goes out the window,” Clinton responded. “Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority.”

I posted here in the past that there was no way that someone with Hillary's background would support a man like Rachel Levine.

I criticized her in the past because her daughter Chelsea was promoting the trans BS and Hillary seemed to be in lockstep with her. Or at least she was trying to have it both ways in not being clear about where she stood on the trans issue.

But I'm glad she's finally speaking sense. Maybe she isn't going to run but she realizes the Democrats are screwed if they don't change course on the trans issue and she just wants to get the ball rolling.

I wonder if this announcement will be in coordination with a major shift away for trans issues by the mainstream media.

NBC is close to the Clintons and they tried to make Chelsea a news figure. But NBC is also a staunch supporter of transitioning children and other trans radical ideas. I'm so curious to see how NBC and other liberal news outlets react to Hillary's remarks.

Hillary likely doesn’t want it to be a debate and neither do TRAs. She wants their protections to be passed quietly and the media to pretend the law changes don’t exist.

Only gay rights are able to be ruthlessly debated and are expected to have a “live and let live” attitude to those who disapprove of their rights. Trannys shouldn’t have to according to Hillary who was anti gay throughout most of her career in the public eye.

This woman ran a presidential campaign revolving entirely around her having a pussy, as she didn't have anything to offer to working class Americans by way of economic proposals, but now she says this. "Identity politics for me, but not for thee."

It's a stupid argument, because nobody is actually running on trans issues, and even if they were, it's not progressives who are at risk of losing their seats - it's right-wing Democrats who are, and they of course are not vocal on this one issue.

And though entirely expected, it's also funny that Datalounge is hailing her for saying this. People here are not savvy enough to recognize this fact, but Hillary is merely using trans issues as a stand-in for all LGBT issues, perhaps even all gender-related issues, including abortion.

She was notoriously hostile to gay marriage back when she was relevant, and on abortion she was to the right of Bernie; she even said in 2015 that she could compromise on Republicans if they agreed to retain abortion in cases of rape -- that's all. That's the only way her statement makes sense: as a call to abandon liberal values as whole. It's the one trick right-wing Democrats have learned. Are things getting difficult for Democrats at the ballot? Go racist and conservative, then!

What sense does it make to depict JK Rowling as a fascist? To my surprise, Clinton shares the premise of my question.“ We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy, and everything that everybody else cares about then goes out the window,” she says. “Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority.”

Another instance is the “defund the police” campaign, she adds. “You need accountable measures. But you also need policing. It doesn’t even pass the common-sense politics test not to believe that. Some positions are so extreme on both the right and the left that they retreat to their corners . . . Politics should be the art of addition not subtraction.”

Fast forward four years and Trump sets forth a similar series of claims backed by zero evidence--the ballots were hacked, the election was illegitimate.

Yes, Hillary conceded and Trump never has, but history will record that she and her winged Eldergays seeded the ground for Trump's Big Lie and have MAGAts permission to believe it-- if Hillary Stans could claim Trump's victory was illegitimate, then surely they could claim his defeat was too.

History will also note the formerly close relationship between the two families, with Bill and Hillary serving as guests of honor at Trump's marriage to The Slovenian Whore.

HRC learned this lesson back in ‘92 when her husband’s poll numbers plummeted after he promised to end the ban on gays and lesbians in the military. At the time this was an incredibly unpopular decision which led to the Republicans regaining control of the House for the first time in 40 years. This is why the president had to backpedal by signing DADT and, later on, DOMA, to gain back the support he lost.

The Clintons never hated gay people, nor do they hate the trans. The actual threat is a Republican win, so dropping trans issues from the Democratic platform is probably the best thing to be done for the T community, considering how negative public opinion of them currently is.

I mentioned this observation in passing on another thread, upon how the Democratic Party continues to “cannabilize” and “self-sabotage” itself. It is truly remarkable. And Hillary is finally bringing this crucial point home to us. NDP seems more intent on quenching the extreme liberal wing/AOCs to the extent that she cannot begin to compromise, nor bring any new ideas to our party that might invigorate us. In this respect, I view her behavior as simply trying to retain power (similar to all old fossils that really need to retire) instead of bringing their popular ideas into our platform. This is, in my mind, a form of cannibalism where the older eats their own young to stay in power.

It also demonstrates a form of self-sabotage - that these elder statesman (on both sides of the aisle) politicians whom work to sustain life-long grudge matches at the expense of the well-being of their constituents - and their refusal to use common sense to save our democracy.

This corrosive element within theDemocratic Party, that has chosen to nail itself to the cross of Identity Politics that will cost us to lose it all - our elections, our democracy our nation and finally, civilization itself.

We do know that Ghouliani was giddy that something big was going to down just days before the 2016 Presidential election and, indeed, that punchable face FBI clown Comey, came out stating their was new evidence that has been received that justified the re-opening of her E-MAIL investigations. Do we ALL have collective ADHD!?

This is why Hills lost the Presidency two/three days later! And this happened despite the agreement that the press should not PUBLISH such damning refutable “news” just prior to any election! And they did anyway! Plus, Comey’s announcement was made on behalf of Ghouliani’s corrupt/white supremacist/GOP New York FBI field office that he himself guided…. Please, can we be more stupid? “Former FBI agent” - Rudy Giuliani (2016). Hmmm…

A refresher video posted here….

(there’s an actual tv interview that he says he has explosive information about HRC. I’ll find it. Anyway, this is why HRC lost her 2016 Presidential bid).

Liberals can be very strange sometimes. They are right to take on issues like abortion rights, which is a serious issue and effects basically half of the population. But they also have this weird tendency to become hyper-obsessed with stupid issues that don’t really matter and affect a tiny, tiny fraction of the population. Transgender people make up a tiny percentage of the population, especially considering that most of the people who are coming out as trans aren’t really trans and are doing it for woke/popularity points. Allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports should not be a top priority for Americans.

No coat tails with the US Senate or the US House either for 2016. The GOP came close to a US Constit. Convention all because of her "unique" mental abilities.

I presume these hillbillies resent that she miscalculated their sheer number. Again, she hit it on the nail and she messed up by uttering the most on-the-nose description of them: DEPLORABLES.

No other noun could describe them more aptly and she underestimated their sheer numbers (30%) that will always be a force in politics and culture. I believe she regretted it and stated herself that she shouldn’t have described them that way because saying it for what it truly is backfired on her. But she was correct in her analysis.

There was a prevailing attitude of disdain for Hillary at the time. No one fully knows where or how this sentiment originated, but even I (Hillary supporter) could sense it. There was was a raw nerve of hatred for her stemming from a place no one could quite pinpoint. But this disdain was palpable from the likes of Conservative radio and Rush Limbaugh and all conservative media - but especially am conservative radio.

Many angry white males living in their parents basements were strongly attuned to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Preager who spewed hatred towards Hillary and liberals. It was Rush Limbaugh that coined the term ‘Feminazis’ that was the first manifestation of hatred to independent womens voices, after all. Their right-wing voices were already present in 1994 following the OJ Simpson/Nicole Brown murders verdict where they gained a lot of listeners. It all gave impetus to the white vs, minority, law & order/pro- police vs. pro black population.

Yes, Rodney King and the LA Riots followed by the OJ Simpson trial proved to be fertile ground for today’s race wars, which we all know started from the Civil Rights movement. But, my point remains that it was always there whether it raised to the surface from Rush Limbaugh on AM radio or currently, Donald Trump. It is a hatred that is always there for some blowhard to tap into.
