Hillary Clinton is wading back into politics.
After hiking in the woods, attending Broadway shows and making a series of increasingly frank public statements on her election loss to Republican Donald Trump, the former Democratic presidential candidate officially launched her new political group Monday afternoon.
Onward Together, whose name and logo are a nod to her campaign's "Stronger Together" slogan, aims to reinforce the so-called resistance movement that has sprung up since President Trump's election.
"From the Women's March to airports across the country where communities are welcoming immigrants and refugees to town hall meetings in every community, Americans are speaking out like never before," Clinton said in an email to supporters announcing the group. "To support this wave of grassroots organizing, we're launching Onward Together, an organization dedicated to advancing the progressive vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election."
So far, Clinton said she would support new groups like Indivisible, the vast progressive organizing network; RunForSomething, which works to recruit millennial candidates for office; and Swing Left, which aims to flip the House of Representatives. Clinton is also supporting existing groups like EmergeAmerica, which works to elect female candidates for office, and the civil rights group Color of Change.
Clinton also hinted that Howard Dean would be involved somehow. The former progressive presidential candidate supported Clinton over fellow Vermonter Bernie Sanders in last year's presidential primary.
"I'm now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance," Clinton said last week at a luncheon in New York City.
Like similar groups that grew out of Sanders' and Barack Obama's presidential campaigns, Onward Together is organized as 501(c)4 non-profit organization. Unlike political action committees, these types of groups do not need to disclose their donors and can accept unlimited contributions, leading campaign finance reform advocates to label them "dark money" organizations.

Trump is 100 times worse than Hillary could ever be.
Keep obsessing about Clinton, though.
In January of 2024 Hillary Clinton will have last held any public office eleven years ago. Yet, she still scares the shit out of the MAGA Hats!
Not obsession with or fear of her, just scorn and ridicule
Personally, I detest both Clinton and Trump. No obsession on my part.
You express 10 or 20 times more detesting of Clinton and the Democrats than you do with Trump.
Probably true, but I have never stated I detested them equally. And I have never said I detest Democrats. I only detest some hard core liberals that detest me solely on the basis that I do not share their particular political worldview. If you have evidence that I have said I detest Democrats in general please feel free to post it.
Yet she is still milking millions from her ever gullible followers.
Many who are still searching for answers to how she blew a sure thing.
Seems she's done very well by her followers. When Bill left the White House back in 2001 he claimed they were $16 million in debt. Their net worth is now estimated to be $120 million. Perhaps this new political action group is simply to keep her name relevant and to provide a new income stream as donations to the Clinton Foundation dropped by 75% since her failed presidential election campaign in 2016.
Hillary is but a bad memory ….. except for the rampant anti Trump program she started and is still in play.
Hillary …. Rotten to the core unless of course you are a useful idiot.
Hilarious coming from someone where every waking moment and every nighttime dream revolves around Trump.
Hillary Clinton has not been destroying the character of the American people over the past eight years.
Trump has destroyed your character? Lol, how?
Amazing the affect she has on some.
I’d say that anybody that claims a politician has destroyed their character didn’t have any character worth having to begin with.
Trump hasn't destroyed my character. He's destroyed the character of the people that support him.
That's a nutty comment!

Delusional
Only to those suffering from rampant TDS.
The system protected the Clintons.
That doesn't mean they are any less corrupt or vile.

@realDonaldTrump
THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, LIED TO CONGRESS, CHEATED ON FISA, RIGGED A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, ALLOWED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, MANY FROM PRISONS & MENTAL INSTITUTIONS, TO INVADE OUR COUNTRY, SCREWED UP IN AFGHANISTAN, & JOE BIDEN’S MISFITS & THUGS, LIKE DERANGED JACK SMITH, ARE COMING AFTER ME, AT LEVELS OF PERSECUTION NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN OUR COUNTRY??? IT’S CALLED ELECTION INTERFERENCE. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
============================================================================
Donald Trump sent this out last evening as a Christmas message. Please tell us why anyone in their right mind would vote for a person like this ?
The obsession is real when you follow someone on social media you absolutely despise, then copy/paste posts to other social media sites so that person can get more notice.
Exactly!
Not to mention those people who absolutely believe that if you do not share their particular political views then by default you must automatically be a Trump supporter.
A single article about Hillary hardly qualifies as obsession.
However, thousands of articles about Trump and hundreds of thousands of comments certainly qualifies.
Hillary Clinton hasn't been politically relevant since 2016. Seven years ago. So she started some sort of political group now. One that I'm sure we'll almost never hear anything about in the news. Big deal. Yesterday on Christmas Eve Trump made another insane rant about how he's being persecuted as he runs for president in 2024. He is news. Terrible news, but he is news.
And yet, she continues to crave the spotlight.
And Democrats lap it up whenever she says something.
It's okay, I know how much 2016 stung little Miss It's My Turn and her minions.
Utterly ridiculous. I am probably as Democratic as anyone on this forum and I NEVER think about Hillary Clinton until one of you Trump apologists brings her up.
No, it simply isn't.
If not hanging on her words, why on earth would anyone ever to bother to report on anything she says?
Your 'Trump apologists" comment is nothing more than PURE, GRADE A bullshit and delusion.
Is that why just last month you seeded this? Can you show me where in that seed that you posted where a Trump apologist first brought her up?
Or this comment of yours as a reply to a comment about Trump?

LOL.
Maybe the word 'never' has been redefined to mean 'not today'?
Nope, Hillary is a thousand times worse than Trump so there!

lol ….. man, look in a mirror …. and save the sophomoric insults for someone who cares what you think. I don’t.
Good! Trump is running and at least one lunatic still thinks he has a chance!
Iowa caucus coming up on January 15th, New Hampshire a week later. Biden's approval ratings are hovering in the low 30's. He's losing support in just about every demographic.
What makes you so optimistic that he can beat Trump?
Biden’s approval rating plunges to just 33%, lowest since he took office: poll (msn.com)
One of the nation's leading grifters is back and is cashing in on TDS.
Wonder how many millions she will soak from her supporters this time?

Are you claiming Hillary isn't a woman? Or that the Clintons aren't every bit the con artists that Trump is?
