Trumps conviction is the best news we've had in months, if not years, and she ruined it in 48 hours.

How exactly did she ruin it?

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

By turning a victory for Alvin Bragg and the criminal justice system into a fundraising opportunity for a smug, self-centered narcissist.

She was his punching bag for quite a while. I think maybe she’s owed a bit of smug narcissism. Do you not remember “lock her up?”

I do. I also remember her campaign intentionally elevating Trump in the primaries and ignoring Michigan organizers who begged her campaign to focus on the rust belt. I think I'll reserve my sympathy for all the election officials, prosecutors, judges, jurors and even assault victims who became Trump's punching bags without helping him ascend to the highest office in the country through their own hubris, and not worry about what Clinton might feel she's owed.

You do you. I’m not a fan of hers, but I think she’s owed this- but if you want to be bothered by it- who am I to stop you?
