I love how weak Americans are that ya’ll think this is some kind of secretly scathing message. Land of the brave but they can’t just fuckin’ say anything outloud out of an intense fear of not being “proper”.
and skip the chance to NOT praise his achievements, NOT offer the proverbial “Prayer” parts of “thoughts and prayers”, and tell his family that he devoted his life to work instead of them?
I think this was as good as a public figure can do a “fuck you”
I’m not into purity tests except for this one. If the idea of dead Dick Cheney makes you any kind of sad beyond “I’m sorry he didn’t suffer more” you are simply wrong and I won’t have it.
It was carefully chosen, sure. I think what people are reacting to is the fact that respectability in American politics might have run out of runway at this point.
It is somewhat well put together, but the fact that it was said at all makes it seem that she hasn’t quite lost the desire to connect with conservatives rather than those who support her own party.
She had so much potential, if only she had focused on progressive values and the people that would have been energized by hearing her promote them.
I think that was well crafted.
I’m sure there is more in there that i missed, but this is basically a “good riddance, finally” in terms that can be understood as polite.

BlueAnon shit.

Land of the cowards, more like.
Nah bro she’s playing 2D chess. You wouldn’t understand how deep she is bro.
I mean, she could have just not said anything.

She was friends with them and they campaigned for her. Why do you think this is anything but sincere respect for him?
except that she said she’s saddened to learn
what is there to be sad about? I guess she can be sad for his family
Maybe she wanted to be there to watch

Saddened to learn is about as mild and passive as you can get.
I can be happy as a pig in shit, and still be “saddened to learn” something.
