I feel like the mere reminder that Hillary exists is a detriment to Dems electoral prospects.

Sorry, no victory laps for someone who failed to beat one of the worst presidential candidates in American history.
Trump still lost the popular vote though
He didn't lose shit. Square footage is what matters, not people.
Not even. Electors.
Bernie would’ve won
Yup
Literally anyone else could have easily beat Trump...
And her campaign, which was controlling the DNC purse strings even during the primary, left state parties with almost nothing for down ballot races and literally left the DNC millions of dollars in debt...
Even if she had won the presidency, the Republicans would have still had the House and Senate based on her campaigns decisions to spend pretty much all of Democrats donations on the presidency.
So when the full quote on the merch is:
She was right about everything
She clearly wasn't.
She was right that trump was a criminal, but so what?
Most of us figured that out without attending any of his weddings like she and Bill did...
Like, you'd think she'd have at least pulled this as a fundraising move for the next election. Not a personal cash grab...
She didn’t fail to beat Trump. The DNC did, by mishandling the primary and tearing the party in half.
...and she still doesn't understand how to politic.
"Lock him up" would be the obvious shirt for her to sell.
'Lock him up' lacks the mention of how smart she is. That's not hillarious at all!
She's also doing the same thing Margaret Atwood already did after Roe was struck down except worse.
Also, Atwood didn't try to make a buck off of it.
