2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm tired of being bombarded with Clintonian Exceptionalism...
the idea that Bill and Hillary Clinton are "'exceptional' (i.e., unusual or extraordinary) in some way and thus [do] not need to conform to normal rules or principles." --Wikipedia
This has been going on since 1991 and it was old then and is still old. It is how they skate by on the far side through controversy after controversy while Hillary proclaims "We are not Denmark".

Have you no shame?

(3,473 posts)How many times have you accused me (and other Secretary Clinton supporters) of being Trump supporters now? Sounds like the last desperate cries of an unhinged BS cheerleader that realizes his ship is sinking.
RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)Yes, you have that right, your posts remind us of what to expect from Trump types. Eerily similar.

(13,685 posts)We know you are new here, so we'll cut you some slack, but really, 3 hides already? How many will be your limit? Going for 20? You just might make it.

(114,904 posts)Me? I'm just sick of the both of them.
Go ahead. Tell me I don't belong here.

(3,030 posts)she has a number of policy stances which are definitely better than those of Donald Trump although they don't go as far as they should like those of Bernie Sanders.

(9,385 posts)I'm interested in what the FBI and DoJ finally decide to do about the email/foundation scandal. I want to see if anybody is willing to hold her accountable, in just the same way as anybody else would be.
k8conant
(3,030 posts)I'm somewhat wary that they will hold her accountable, because of her "diplomatic immunity".

(23,730 posts)that makes them all the same and the Chosen One unique and not having to play by the rules
weirdly this applies to the bubbles Clintonomics relied on: IT/telecom (early 90s), dotcoms (mid-to-late 90s), energy (early 00s), and housing (since the late 70s, but especially 80s and 90s) were all portrayed as surefire investments, not because they were in permanent demand but because they'd evaded the rules of economics, had rewritten how the world itself worked (and of course didn't need labor)

(25,471 posts)If you think that's unexceptional, well, I'd have to disagree. All three positions are pretty exclusive. If you want to argue that their performance of those duties is unexceptional, that's a different matter.
By the way, exceptional and exceptionalism aren't the same thing. Instead of wikipedia, start with a dictionary. Exceptionalism most often refers to cultures, countries or societies, i.e. American Exceptionalism.

I've also had my fill of their claiming of "privilege" as the expense of all of the rest of us.
