Hillary Clinton Suggests Rise of Socialism in the Democratic Party is ‘Healthy’

“The Democratic Party right now is, I think, going through a kind of experiment”

During a recent event, Hillary Clinton commented on the rise of socialism in the Democratic Party and called it ‘healthy.’

One has to assume that this is an attempt to remain relevant, and for Hillary to ingratiate herself with the DSA wing of the party, should they eventually become a force to be reckoned with after the midterms.

FOX News reports:

Clinton’s eyebrow-raising socialism take sparks brutal mockery: ‘Definition of insanity’

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the Democratic Party’s current “experiment” amid the rise of democratic socialist candidates “healthy,” drawing swift conservative backlash from critics who accused her of embracing the party’s socialist wing.

“The Democratic Party right now is, I think, going through a kind of experiment, like who can actually respond particularly to young people’s very real concerns about where they are at this point in their lives and what kind of future do they have for themselves? I think that is healthy,” said Clinton.

Clinton, a matriarch of the Democratic Party, defeated democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential primary. Her remarks come as socialist candidates increasingly challenge establishment-backed Democrats in races across the country.

Clinton spoke Monday in conversation with the Hamptons Institute, weighing in on the Democratic Party’s ideological direction as it searches for ways to connect with younger voters while democratic socialist candidates have increasingly notched wins during the primary season.

The moderator asked Clinton where she sees the future of the Democratic Party as it undergoes a “major upheaval between center-left and democratic socialists” during their conversation on diplomacy, national security and global leadership.

Watch the video below:

David Strom commented on this at Hot Air:

The Democrats have a problem that Clinton and most Democrats are trying to address, and it is a huge one: they are losing their working-class base due to their adoption of luxury beliefs and dependence on college-educated elites, and their rising acceptance of socialism is just an extension of their adjustment to that reality. Socialists are typically downwardly mobile elites and elite aspirants, who ought to be in the sweet spot for Democrat Party recruitment, but they are also highly disaffected with the establishment as a whole and committed to destroying it.

So, contra Clinton, the rise of socialism among the young is neither healthy for the country nor for the Democrat Party itself.

Hillary is simply trying to show that she is still devoted to a party that has moved on without her.

Hillary says the rise of socialism in the Democratic Party is healthy.

Compared to Hillary, the bubonic plague looks healthy.

“The Democratic Party is going through a kind of experiment”

1. Fauci’s Wuhan virus was an experiment.

2. The monster Frankenstein created was an experiment.

3. Stalin’s transformation of Russia into a totalitarian government was a massive, high-stakes experiment

The Democrats playing around with socialism should not be taken lightly

    Let’s experiment!
    With your money and your safety.

      There’s a saying in the STEM game:
      “Two intensive weeks in the lab can save you an excruciating 15 minutes in the library!”
      So hell, let’s “experiment” with socialism! Because there are no existing data points on what inevitably happens, or why.

        I thought it was “if we knew what we were doing, it wouldn’t be research.” Also, “do not look into laser with remaining eye.” Actual sign in our lab.

What a demented woman. She must be going the Biden route. Time to put her in a locked ward so she can’t hurt herself or anyone else.

If this is what the Hildebeast really believes evict her from her mansion and turn it over to the homeless and the illegal immigrant criminals. It’s what socialism demands after all.

The Hildebeast will say anything to a camera to keep herself being talked about. The cameras should just avoid her and let her disappear into past politicians that mean nothing.

She is covering for Democrats who realize they have only one direction open to them and instead of a jackass as symbol, it will be the hammer and sickle on a rainbow background.

“Hillary is simply trying to show that she is still devoted to a party that has moved on without her.”

I think it might be more accurate to say that the party ran her over and left her corpse in the parking lot.

You know (I can’t believe I’m saying this) but I came to respect the fact that Bill Clinton had excellent political skills and was an articulate spokesman for his cause.

I did not agree with his politics and he should have left Monica (and dozens of others) alone but his second term triangulation was the stuff of genius. No Democrat today would do such a thing.

The Wicked Witch of Chappaquah is nothing but a craven, power seeking political prostitute.

    Bill so wanted to be “the one” that both he and Hillarity jumped the gun with the AWB and health care initiatives. Thanks to Bill, we have anywhere from 30-40M AR 15’s in the hands of the peoples. Before the AWB pretty much everyone in the Black Rifle Club knew one another. We used to say that Bill was the greatest gun salesman ever, but then O’Bammy doubled down on that.

Anything that gives them power is fine with them.

Communism is nothing new and it’s certainly not healthy

I am surprised she could get her snoot out of the vodka bottle long enough to make a stupid statement. Why would the press would interview, such a nobody, shows how desperate they are for a news story. She is long past being relevant.

“Hillary Clinton says the Democrat Party is “going through an experiment” to see if far-Left, socialist candidates — who want to abolish prisons and borders — can win over young voters.”

Note well — the goal is not to “govern better,” but to “win positions of power.”

The lessons of the innumerable crimes, incalculable human suffering, death and misery, and intrinsic, despicable evils of the Soviet Union, East Germany, Cuba, China, and other communist regimes are lost on vile and despicable crone Clinton and the equally vile Dhimmi-crats.

Meld “Democratic Socialism” (communism, re-branded) with Jew-hating, Christian-hating and Hindu-hating Muslim jihad-chic and you have the utterly wicked and contemptible Dhimmi-crat Party.

    Don’t kid yourself. Clinton and the rest of the democrat cabal know exactly the evils and atrocities committed by past socialist/communist regimes. They just don’t care as they think they will be immune to anything that these people will be doing if elected to positions of power and authority. But in reality they will all be first against the wall when the socialist revolution comes and the Useful Idiots™ like Clinton are no longer useful to the powers that be and are no longer needed. But there we go and here were are. The upcoming months are going to be very interesting times for sure.

The Clinton’s are Fabian Socialists – every thing they do is about that. Bill was a Rhodes Scholar – again, look to the history of these organizations and it tells you what their beliefs and their goals are. Go to the source:

https://fabians.org.uk/about-us/

They are elitist snobs and they support globalism over everything else. Their revolutions is from within with what the system gives them.

…they are losing their working-class base due to their adoption of luxury beliefs and dependence on college-educated elites, and their rising acceptance of socialism…

I agree with the thinking above, and I actually suspect that the traditional Democratic Party is a dead man walking. The “Big Tent” is just no longer big enough. There will have to be a split between “traditional” Democrats and the new wave into distinct and separate parties. . The question, politically, is on which side of the divide will black voter fall. I think that they will go with the centrists and the Democratic Socialists will form a separate Third Party which will stick around for perhaps 10 years.

    Don’t forget the working-class tradition from which Hillary comes.
    Oh, wait, there isn’t any. She’s been the wife of an elite politician since day one.
    Well, to be fair, it was three years before he became governor (that’s a hell of a “first real job” for hubby to land, isn’t it?), but I’m sure Hillary sure dug a whacking lot of coal in those three years.

      henrybowman in reply to henrybowman. | August 26, 2026 at 10:47 pm

      Woops, my mistake. Bill’s first real job was state Attorney General, which he spent two years at first. Meanwhile, in one more year, Hillary had graduated from coal mining to being a full partner at a law firm. You just cannot get more working class than those lovebirds.

I hear Dr. Mengele had some pretty neat experiments too!

Take other people’s money (by force) and give it to other people, while enriching themselves…that’s what they do…that’s all they ever do…confiscation of wealth that others have produced…to redistribute to others.

    Lucifer Morningstar in reply to curly surfhouse. | August 27, 2026 at 9:04 am

    Take other people’s money (by force) and give it to themselves (the elite) as the ordinary people die in the millions for want of basic necessities. . . . that’s what they do . . . that’s all they every do . . . confiscation of wealth that others have produced . . . to redistribute to themselves.

    Remember Hillary helped herself to the sterling silver WH service when they left.
    She was “forced” to return it. Rich stuff!

Mrs. Bill Clinton, the political version of Herpes. No one wants it, and it keeps flaring up no matter how much you try to get rid of it (e.g., a senate seat, a cabinet post).

    Spike3 in reply to Mike Thiac. | August 28, 2026 at 4:04 am

    The Hilldog is more like the Fauci Virus shots. Stupid people rate it safe and effective, and keep wanting more of it.

Just like it would have been “healthy” for the country had she been elected.
Why does she continue to get coverage in the media, btw?

Just another Dem admitting who they have been since the 1960s.

Hillary is dead…

The Real Truth | August 27, 2026 at 9:05 pm

She has never had a “great” mind, but I believe that she has lost what little intelligence that she did have after making an assinine comment like that!

I don’t know why this surprises anyone. Queen Hillary, still inflamed because she was unelected because so many people hated her when it was ‘her turn’ to be president, knows that she will be untouched by the socialist/communists who now make up most of the democratic party, because she is part of the elite who will be the overseers of the unwashed masses.
