Et Tu, Hillary?

After Elizabeth Warren tried to smear her "friend" Bernie Sanders by leaking a private conversation from almost two years ago, it's now Hillary Clinton's turn to stab another knife in the "grumpy" old man's back. We all knew it was coming, but there are still so much people who get their news from the mainstream that it's important to keep it fresh in our minds and to warn the "normies" about this massive anti-progressive campaign.

Et tu, Brute? is a Latin phrase literally meaning 'and you, Brutus?' or 'also you, Brutus?', often translated as 'You as well, Brutus?' or 'Even you, Brutus?'. [...] On March 15 (the Ides of March), 44 BC, the historic Caesar was attacked by a group of senators, including Brutus, who was Caesar's friend and protégé. Caesar initially resisted his attackers, but when he saw Brutus, he reportedly responded as he died. Suetonius mentions the quote merely as a rumor, as does Plutarch who also reports that Caesar said nothing, but merely pulled his toga over his head when he saw Brutus among the conspirators.

There's some documentary coming out about Hillary Clinton, and she was nice enough to tell Hollywood Reporter some of what's in it. And it's ugly. Just to remind ourselves, let's not forget that in 2015 and 2016, the previous primaries and general elections, there were on the Democratic side two potential major female candidates; Warren and Clinton. Bernie saw in Clinton the usual establishment candidate and wanted someone to represent the progressive voice on the side of the democrats, as he saw that as the best opportunity to beat the Republicans, and Trump in particular. Therefore Bernie, and many others, approached Elizabeth Warren to run against Clinton in the Democratic primaries; this fact alone is enough to completely nullify Warren's recent betrayal by which her campaign tried to paint Sanders a sexist who doesn't believe a woman can become president. Only after Warren declined, Sanders decided to run against Clinton himself as the progressive alternative.

Warren already showed her true colors in 2016 when she decided to NOT endorse her so called ideological ally and "friend", but to wait it out and go with the safe bet of endorsing Hillary Clinton. Now, when Clinton became the nominee, Sanders showed just how principled and gallant he really is: no one campaigned harder FOR Clinton than Bernie Sanders; he worked his ass off for her to win the elections and did no less than 40 events for her, most notably in the states where Hilary herself didn't even campaign. Knowing that, it's hard to imagine how betrayed Bernie must feel, now that all we hear from Clinton, the mainstream media and the Democratic party elite is how Bernie and his followers cost Hillary Clinton the win, that and the country being misogynist; everything and everyone was blamed but Hilary's own campaign.

So now Hillary does this interview, and what does she have to say about this old man who never attacked her personally, who always avoided bringing up the whole email scandal around Hillary, and who fought to make her the first female president of America? Here goes: he was in Congress for years, he had one Senator supporting him, nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done, he was a career-politician, it's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it, and she said she didn't know if she would support him if he were to win the nomination... Like I said: it's ugly. But it's also transparent and exactly what we knew would happen. Warren's smear backfired spectacularly as Sanders went up and Warren went down in all polls after that ugly incident; Sanders again broke his own records of gaining supporters and donations after the infamous Iowa primary debate. What's sad is that these two ladies, who owe Sanders a huge debt of gratitude really, have only hurt the cause of women in their righteous fight against the very real patriarchy. The two women who Sanders tried to make president now do everything they can to stop him from becoming president... Yes, it's ugly.

There's one candidate who doesn't stoop to these lowest of levels, and until now he's leading the race in the early states. This is the good news; the mainstream media is clearly losing it's hold on people's minds, and Americans are seeing through these dirty tactics. Only a couple of weeks to go; stay focused! They'll stop at nothing to prevent a Sanders presidency...
