Can we have a thread to divine the answer as to why the left chose Hillary Clinton to be the hill to die on? I mean, there has to have been a better candidate. The fact that they chose Hillary of all people, used up every iota of political and social clout they had as a "movement", and then still lost is simply bizarre, to say the least.
I know some people are going to say that she was the establishment candidate in a party run purely by the establishment. That's obviously true, but didn't they see how poor their odds were of winning with such a liability against a massively viral opponent? Didn't it occur to them that their purposes would've been best served by a candidate willing to swerve even slightly from the party line, as opposed to a very likely loss?
Maybe they were blinded by their ideology and echo chamber. With that comes the real question; is the establishment stupid enough to do that? Is the establishment really such a paper dragon?
I have no fucking clue. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, I guess.

lets ask the i ching
44 changing to 31
44. Providing Line 2:
There is fish in the surroundings. Without fault to not benefit guests.
There is something useful available. It is not wrong to not let others benefit from it. Line 6:
Providing the horns. Inadequate, without fault.
Only part of what is needed is provided. It is not adequate, but not a mistake either.
Hexagram is changing to: 31. Being Affected
Being affected. Progressing. It is beneficial to persist. To take a wife brings good fortune.
Being affected. There is progress. It is good to persevere. Things will go well by establishing a union with someone.
Parker Flores
They didn't choose her. She chose herself. It was destiny. She was expecting to run against Jeb! and that fell through. God works in mysterious ways.
Adrian Brown
Yes. There are a few of true malice who manipulate the masses but the masses in general terms really are that stupid.
"Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity"
They were so caught up in thier hug boxes and Bullshit that they gave us a perfect shield. They have stagnated and under thier accusations of stupidity we have evolved into something that understands them implicitly and we know exactly where they fracture. We have them dialed in and they are scrambling now to catch up and understand and define us.
Wyatt Cook
Pretty much this. I mean newspapers all around the world paraded Shillary around as if she was the second coming of christ and couldn't lose. One thing the establishment didn't consider was the huge turnout for Trump.
Michael Nguyen
Horrible spacing OP. Next time roll the dice with more effort. Kek wills it. Sage.
Hudson Rodriguez
They could have gone with Jim Webb but instead the media establishment gave Hillary and the socialist kike bernie all the limelight.
Carson Hill
I'm still convinced there was massive voter fraud and that Trump won the popular vote by at least 5-10 mil votes. I also don't think they planned on losing for this reason. The polls that got it the closest before the election showed Trump at about 60% of the vote and Hillary around 40%
Samuel Cox
This. Jeb was a legitimate fallboy. Obama's time in the Whitehouse had washed away the memory's of Bill's time, but bad memories of Bush were still present.
Andrew Lewis
They were kind of starved for choice. The next best hope for jewry was Bernie.
Blake Garcia
Hillary wasn't originally meant to win, she was just the only Democrat crazy enough to run a serious campaign this election (Bernie started as a protest candidate). Structurally, this was going to be a bad year for the Democrats, and everyone important on both sides knew it, which is why the Republican field had upwards of a dozen candidates and the Democrats had three. That all changed when Trump started winning primaries. Democrats were counting on a Jeb-tier cuckservative or at worst somebody like Ted Cruz. They thought they were going to get somebody they could use to rile up their base, but who wouldn't cause any harm to their actual agenda. When they got Trump instead, they shat their pants and went into overdrive trying to make Hillary's doomed campaign miraculously work out.
Logan Gomez
They thought it was an easy win. They are out of touch.
Connor Anderson
They acted like that because they were trying to demoralize Trump voters. Pundits and run-of-the-mill shitlibs might have believed it, but the actual strategists working for important people in the party knew this election was going to be a long shot for a Democrat to win. That's why they told their bosses not to run. Hillary was the only one megalomaniacal and desperate enough to ignore their advice and try anyway.
This isn't a popular opinion around here, but I think even the guac merchant would have beaten Hillary.
Dylan Jones
They thought they could play the woman card to an easy win and repeat what they did with Obama as the first only black president.
Anthony Green
The only reason (or at least the biggest reason) Trump won was because of a massive revitalization of life into the the values Trump was promoting. He said and did what no one else was going to, and Jeb wouldn't have been able to motivate his own family to vote for him, much less more than sixty million people. Hillary and her horde of illegals would've gone uncontested and without fear with Jeb.
Andrew James
Firstly, be careful because Holla Forums prefers to have urls in the OP. We'll let this slip though.
Secondly, Hillary paid the broadcasters of left wing media to promote her. That is why they chose her. She construed the agenda and then paid her way to be the leader of that agenda.
Thirdly, I don't think she really gives a fuck about that agenda. I'm beginning to think her emails were her way of disclosing how fucked the MSM and foreign ties were. It was a honeypot. She's too close to the FBI and I suspect they eyed out Soros early.
Robert Carter
The fuck is this shit?
Elijah Green
I disagree, this whole election seems to be something greater than that. The moving of normies to social media may have been part of the goal - to destroy the MSM.
Jason Gray
Trump alienated more cuckservatives than you think. It was a necessary move for the long-term future of the party, but it did have short-term costs and I think a lot of people underestimate the size of those. That said, those cuckservatives won't matter in 2020. Most will bend the knee, and even the ones who don't will be more than compensated for by crackdowns on Democratic voter fraud. Hillary had the same issue. She couldn't get anywhere near the turnout Obama got even running against a candidate uniquely hated by liberals. Trump would have lost to Biden. This was closer than any of us want to believe (sure, fraud is fraud, but it still counts if it's not exposed).
Christian Turner
Because after the negro, she a woman.
Nolan Thomas
"The left" didn't choose her. The ruling class did.
Adam Reyes
The neocons openly declared they were going to vote for HRC and still lost. They need to be banished back to the DNC where they belong or nowhere at all.
Adrian Bennett
So am I, and he definitely did.
Julian Green
Through her PACs she by proxy owned the DNC. Hell, the head of the DNC stepped down to become her running mate, installing her #1 right hand kikess stooge as his replacementÂ
Kayden Smith
She cut a deal with the democrat big wigs to be the next in the running in exchange for letting obongo have the chance to run in '08. Not much else to it. It's the same reason why there were so few debates and candidates for the DNC and why bernie supporters were being constantly shut down by their own side. Bernie was just a plant from the beginning to make it appear as though there was some kind of competition but in reality it was always going to be hillary running.
Hillary losing dramatically isn't that much of a bad thing for the DNC either. The effects of obongo being absolutely retarded with money are going to hit in one or two years time leaving trump holding the bag. The media in their lying ways and the general public being too dumb to realize what actually caused it, will believe that it was all trump's doing. I'm 100% certain the libshits will have the biggest of all shit-eating grins as they're plunged into poverty just because they could say "I told you so" even if they're ultimately wrong.
Ethan Young
I think they're just playing the demographic long game. While I'm glad Trump won, I still think the situation is doomed. If I were a leftist, this is how I'd view losing this election as a simple hiccup to inevitable victory:
>win in four years, whites are an even smaller portion of America's and frankly every country in the world population
Jason Cooper
Let's not pretend that the god emperor's victory was inevitable. I, like most of us here, was ecstatic when he won. However, rapin' bill's wife was the clear favorite of the lugenpresse, the establishment, millions of illegals that king nigger instructed to go vote, and, for fuck's sake, even some of the GOP. She also raised eleventy trillion dollars for her campaign war chest.
Despite all that, Trump defeated *both* parties to become our savior when any mere mortal candidate would have been crushed by that onslaught.
Christopher Stewart
It seemed like by the time they'd realized that their carefully laid plan of Hillary v Jeb! had been BTFO, it was too late to change course.
Samuel Brown
Pretty much this. She used her political connections and a fair bit of behind the scenes skullduggery to put herself in the position of candidate because she wanted "her turn". She wanted to break the glass ceiling, she wanted to "make history" in order to feed her own vanity, as well as get her (and her husband) back with access to the levers of presidential power. And right up until the night of November 8, she believed it was inevitable that she was going to get it.
Nathan Lee
The Democrat party already screwed her over, twice. She probably told them "GIVE ME THE NOM OR I SPILL THE BEANS". That old bitch has so much dirt on everybody. Plus she's 70 and has nothing to lose other than Chelsea.
So pretty much the same reason why she hasn't been arrested yet for the email scandal.
And to think, the dems could have had 16 years of control. Mccain wasnt beating her in 08, and Romney was shit too. Then this past year they could have rolled out the magic nigger, and between all the dindus, spics, and cucks, magic nigger would have won. Isn't it time for a black president America?
Charles Thompson
Adding on to this, they thought Hillary v Trump would be even easier than Hillary v Jeb because "Hurr durr Trump is a bully that doesn't know what he's talking about." I have no doubt in my mind that before Trump was the frontrunner, the plan was to run a by the books Obama progressive campaign against Jeb, hammering home that his brother was the reason Obama was elected in the first place, a rejection of bible-belt conservatism. But as we saw in the DNC leaks, halfway through they thought it would be even easier to try and push for Cruz or Trump to be the nominees because of how much hate they both got and how easy they both seemed to discredit and disarm. They weren't wrong about Cruz, that would have been an incredibly easy win. They underestimated Trump though, they assumed he was just a loud blowhard that only appealed to rednecks and that all they would have to do to win was deride him and his policies for the whole campiagn. It quite obviously backfired, she didn't try and run on a message of anything other than "fuck Trump, amirite?" and it hurt her where it mattered, she didn't bother with the rustbelt save for a few last-minute rallies with Ongobongo, the people most suceptible to an Obama styled progressivism bullshit talk, not only didn't get to see her, they were also constantly derided for even contemplating supporting Trump and ignored by the left so that they could pander to illegal spics instead. It was an awful move on her part that can really only be attributed to hubris, she just assumed these blue-collar workers would vote for her because they voted for Obama, despite the fact that the left, and even her own campaign, was constantly shitting all over these people, either with the policies they enacted that crippled their sources of income, or straight up being made fun of or insulted for warming up to the only guy that has actually tried to make a connection with you and help your long ignored plight
Ultimately Hilary's biggest mistake was dismissing Trump and his voters as a fringe that could easily be brushed off and ignored, she thought she had the very states that cost her the election in the bag. Ironically Hillary was the one with the inflated ego and violent, sore-loser voting base. Funny how the left's projections always come true in reverse, huh?
Lucas Allen
I go with this theory. They owed her. That's why Biden and Warren declined to run, because either one would have beaten her easily. Clinton is a terrible candidate.
Dylan Fisher
I don't know what they were thinking with Jeb. The worst part is that he was supposed to be "the smart one".
Jack Cook
Clinton was the planned one to win. Bernie didn't stand a chance except with voters under 18. They really banked on Hillary winning with the feminist mantra.
Henry Lee
the left didn;t "choose" Clinton, Clinton wanted to be president to advance hers,Soros, Saudies and/or elses Agenda. She sold the whole woman stick to the left and by the time people realized how shit she was it was too late, no other woman to divert muh vagina votes, nor PoC, all that was left was a socialist jew that manages to somehow convince people he was anti-establishment, and that was not enough to fight off Hillary crooked game.
Camden Ross
The left didn't choose anything, the deep state/jews were just more active than usual.
To elaborate, Trump represented an existential threat to the deep state. Knowing this, they threw their weight behind Hillary and fought to the proverbial last man. They used their (((media)))/Democrat/cuckservative proxies and surrogates to their fullest extent in an effort to stump the Unstumpable One. It wasn't enough.
Likewise, had the election been the anticipated Hillary v. Jeb, the jews would have had no need to interfere with the outcome.
Levi Campbell
Maybe they threw her under the bus. Maybe the entire democratic establishment was tired of her shrill evil corruption, and ran her in an election to throw it away and kill her political clout.
The payoff has been enormous. The left was never this galvanized during the Obama administration.
The trouble is, the opponents to the Dems are not simply satisfied by a Trump victory. We give two shits and a fuck that Trump won, we want the Democratic Party and Leftism in general wiped OUT. If the republicans are washed out in the bathwater, then another win!!!!
Bentley Morris
The left didn't exactly choose her to be the Hill to die on. The popular sentiment on the left was for Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders would have beaten Trump but a lot of his most engaged supporters became so disillusioned that they voted trump/third party/nothing.
Hillary became the Hill to die on by her own careful maneuvering as exposed though the wikileaks e-mails and the superdelegate process. Installing Debbie trading Tim the VP seat. Superdelegates a big country club of senior citizen Ivy League grads and commercially motivated special interests. That was the group that chose her to be the Hill to die on. I guess you could call it greed. Really they should have won though. With the amount of money they had compared to Trump as well as having the media on their side the whole way (as hapless as the media ended up being in dealing with Trump)
Christopher Walker
You are speaking in hyperboles here. You are not taking into account the fact how many white people are becoming redpilled (even if it's only about multiculturalism and muslim immigration) and not by a small rate, but in droves. The Peter Springare kikebook group has over 200,000 members now, where swedish normies share to each other all those jewtube vids about immigrant crimes. There is also a "humans of tumblr" kikebook group with lots of members, and I have observed how the libshits there have developed a popular opinion where they condemn the SJW's. There are Gen Z kids in 2017 making pepe and "triggered" jokes. Whites are in general developing more and more unity in reaction to nonwhite surge in white countries. All of this has been massive, and happened during a very, very short time.
My point is that we will witness a sharp rise in white nationalism. I refuse to believe the South African scenario will repeat. In fact, if you look at South Africa, almost half of white men there belong in some kind of paramilitary or militia that is staunchly pro-white or white nationalist in some way. We literally can't afford defeatism and blackpill to take the lead in the dissatisfied right-wing whites, please don't try to make such case ever again.
Ethan Foster
I thought they chose Bernie but then, being the cucks they are, voted for her anyway because she wasn't Trump. That's the way my sister and her libshit boyfriend put it anyway; "we decided to vote for the lesser of two evils."
Grayson Roberts
Jim Webb definitely voted Trump, though he doesn't say it openly. He kept snickering about it on Tucker.
Sebastian Reed
Yes. stupid is the wrong term. they do live entirely detached from society and its doubtful they understand themselves the depth to which they have changed it. Also, our "kikelords" aren't the ones who came up with the plan, the inherited it from their inbred families. These are worthless drug addicted sadists (whom have access to the brightest minds of the planet and unlimited resources) Podesta himself, although not a jew, is a fanatic psychopath and was in charge of the campaign - reliable choice? For some purposes…yes…loyalty for example. Pedosta will never betray or confess.
The real question is: is Trump really fighting them or is he just another contingency plan meant to stall for time while further erosion takes place?
the answer to that will come through the audit of the Fed he has promised in the campaign, those arrests (combined with pedos), and the defeat of ISIS (which means liberating Europe from the invasion, because ISIS is more in Europe than the Middle East)
Joshua Lewis
True, the left played the nigger card too soon. A woman would have buried McCain like a nigger buried him and with the complicit media and political establishment she likely would have taken the second term. Then as you say, trot out the magical novelty nigger and with anti-white loathing and non-white demographics you've got a good shot at 16 years.
Fortunately for the US, whites and the planet the left are arrogant in their complacency.
Leo Lopez
That aphorism is both stupid and malicious at the same time.
Easton Nguyen
One shouldn't be defeatist or take the blackpill, but absolutely must learn the lessons of history. Whites are 9% in South Africa, and if anything the anti-white loathing, the shitlib cuckoldry, the multicult propaganda and utter delusions have only intensified.
Whites are a 9% minority. 9%, yet still they're castigated, hated, raped, murdered and left to the subhumans to suffer. And this is all cheered on by the leftists, the kikes and the insufferable college activists. You have to truly understand how bad the situation can become without seeing a major revolutionary reaction and learn from it.
Matthew Sullivan
The Ds, being a party of grownups, chose a experienced candidate who was actually qualified to be president. Obama blew his first term learning on the job, but his incompetence pales before the Clown Prince's. Trump apparently cannot organize a one-car parade.
Austin Young
To be fair to the left (far more fair than they deserve) they weren't given much choice. Bernie meant bankrupting the country so mainly appealed only to the young, stupid voters that wanted free money and after they fixed it so he lost to Hillary that was all they had left. Sage for somewhat shit thread.
Chase White
It's a rebranded version of this quotation in The Sorrows of Young Werther: The affair in question being
Mind you, Werther is the prototypical an hero, driven to suicide because he fell for a woman betrothed to another man but was too much of a beta to cuck him. He couldn't even kill himself correctly, he stayed barely conscious for hours after he pulled the trigger with his brains splattered and his limbs paralyzed.
Michael Martin
Or the fact that not even their colossal shilling could hide the fact that Hillary was an all around awful, unlikable cunt.
