This kinda reminds me of his eulogy of John Lewis, which he took as an opportunity to shit-talk Kwame Ture for no real reason. He clearly sees his role as explaining to minorities that they aren't behaving right because he doesn't see them as genuine political actors to be courted, but inconveniences to be chided in order to be seen as reasonable by reactionary whites. To be fair, thirty years of being told that the 'Sister Souljah moment' was a high-mark of political savvy rather than dumb and pointless hasn't helped.
Don't forget, the Democratic Party is still run mostly by people who think Clinton was the greatest President in recent history. At the time, most of us thought so (especially in light of the dude who came after him), but have the benefit of hindsight to remind us that, in fact, it wasn't all that great! Maybe, if Bill Clinton is making noise that he should be a part of this campaign and Nancy goddamn Pelosi is also nagging you about it in between being comically rich, just send him to safe states to do his offensive free-association Trump impersonation!
I recently pointed out, in response to a different one of his recent campaign appearances, that clinton helped fuck america up by overturning Glass Steagall and "reforming" welfare. I left out NAFTA and the '94 crime bill, which means I was being at least a little charitable to him.
And yet!
I was immediately told that I just hate Harris or I want trump to win or some other nonsense.
Not a biblical scholar, but on the "They were there first." - doesn't the old testament have a whole book of killing and/or driving out other people to form Israel the first time?
Don't be silly- there are *multiple* books detailing the conquest of Canaan and the copious foreskins collected along the way. But that was okay because God wanted them to have it!
Don't pay attention to the fact that the same God is worshiped by the Muslims that conquered it 700 years after the last period of Israelite autonomy and held it for the next 1300 years, give or take.
Also don't pay attention to the fact that "They were there first" undermines the entire legitimacy of the American state.
calling the former leader of the free world an elderly racist is so unfair. "elderly, epstein-adjacent racist" is more appropriate

“He clearly sees his role as explaining to minorities that they aren't behaving right”

We are turning the page and that includes him.

Just go away Bill.
It does bring me some measure of happiness that he looks like absolute shit. But yeah fuck this creep he can go away forever.

Rubbish.
The end of this country sure is a clownshow.

Jeez can't you just let these people have their genocidal apartheid ethnostate because they believe the bible says so? Why are you such an antisemite?
Somehow ALWAYS an overlooked (strategically ignored) part of that whole gibberish tale.
