Bill Clinton’s last-minute endorsement of Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race is all too fitting: both men represent the corporate Democratic establishment, opposed by socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, that has abandoned the working class.
The Clintons are largely responsible for the democratic party’s tolerance and enabling of fascism. They are responsible for popularizing thirdway politics in the US, and making compromise the Democrats only real priority.
Of course they are going to endorse the center right, that is the party platform that they’ve been building since the 90s. I honestly do not know why the conservatives demonized Hillary so much, the Clinton’s basically built their empire compromise by compromise.

Easy way to move the Overton window.
Because she was a talkative woman with ideas and a dem instead of being in their GOP
Because she
You can stop there.
To those saying it’s because she’s a woman: Partly yes, but they demonize all Democrats because the compromise only goes one way.
Is this solidarity with capitalists or solidarity with sex criminals? 40/60?

The entire Dem leadership cadre needs to start stepping aside. They have failed to recognize how things have changed, and are well prepared to fight the GOP of the 1990s. Shit has changed, idiots, and you need to hand the reins over to folks like AOC and Hogg. Stop sidelining them, start paying attention to the canary in your goddamned coalmine.
No! It worked in the 90s! It’ll work again any day now!!
Also, we make too much money, so no.
So things work exactly like they want them to. They get money, the oligarchy gets their interests represented, the middle class gets destroyed, people overseas get bombed and minorities get discriminated. Everything is perfectly like it should be for these people.
“Perfectly unbalanced towards the rich, as all things should be.”
Birds of a feather and all.
Neolibs simply can’t resist an opportunity to fuck shut up just one more time.
America has class.

The Clintons have ruined democratic party
I would love to read a book on this. They totally have and I wanna know all the details.
I guess in this case we just have to hope that this endorsement works the same way it did for Kamala.
“And I will add, I did NOT have any sexual relations with that man, Andrew Cuomo” - Clinton, probably.
To give the devil his due, based on Kenneth Starr’s definition of sexual relations, that was true in the Lewinsky case, there was no peen-in-poon contact. And the whole investigation was set up as a trap, so Clinton did the lawyerly thing and responded technically correctly to the exact question asked.
Notice that, despite all the funding and political malice directed against him, he was never charged with perjury. The Arkansas disbarment was another hatchet job, so he settled.
End of Clinton defense. I agree that his strategy of triangulation handed the country to the worst of the Republicans, and three strikes, don’t ask don’t tell, financial deregulation and other Clinton initiatives were disastrously bad. And let’s not forget Hillary’s convoluted, botched attempt at health care reform. Bill was the more talented of the pair, but I wouldn’t piss on either of them if they were on fire.
I’m starting to think Clinton is actually eating babies, that dude seems not to age right. He is almost 80…
Bill who? Didn’t think he was relevant anymore.
