(18,737 posts)82. New Clinton Memoir: We All Made Mistakes But You Made Most Of Them

NEW YORKIn candid excerpts released Wednesday from her forthcoming memoir What Happened, Hillary Clinton reflects on her unsuccessful 2016 presidential bid, revealing to readers, We all made mistakes, but you made most of them.
Im not suggesting its entirely your fault, but, lets be frank, 99 percent of it is, read one passage from the chapter entitled Seriously, What Were You Thinking? in which the former candidate conceded missteps she had made over the course of her campaign while also clarifying that none of them should have produced the final election outcome, which she characterized as squarely on you fucking people.
Indeed, fake news and Russian meddling played a part, and Ive acknowledged I wasnt the perfect candidate, but lets not lose sight of the fact that the majority of the blameall but the tiniest sliverlies with you, the idiot voters. You really blew it, dumbasses. Bravo!
Sources later confirmed that Clinton devotes the final chapter of her memoir to how she has moved on from the election, begging her readers to not fuck that up for her too.

OP
I think as women we train the people around us to expect us to apologize profusely

People try and get you to be apologetic and also unsure- there is nothing like the reaction you get

if only she were more perfect, the right-wing wouldn't have smeared her with lies for 25 years!

Forget apologizing. I want HRC to issue a big "Fuck you!" to the idiots who elected 45.

Actually, the segment played on Morning Joe did just that. Showed Trump up to be a creep

The only people calling for her to self-abase are people who were always critical of her

Take it up with the admins. Maybe you can convince them to make it a TOS violation

This isn't a matter of the "next time", it's a matter of whether or not she has done enough yet....

What I'm saying is that she, for bad or for good, is simply no longer the point.

From what I can see, the point of the OP is to equate any critical comments on the '16 campaign...
