    Let me be clear, I don’t actually despise her very much. That being said, she’s a fucking albatross for the Democrats. The 30 year campaign to vilify her by conservatives has been very successful. I wish she would stay out of this.

      Nah, she’s an idiot who goes around giving lucrative Rah-Rah speeches to fucking Wall Street Banks mid-campaign, and also acted super entitled to the Office (like it was “her turn” lol). She villifies herself sufficiently and necessarily without the externalities

        Porque no los dos? To be clear, I don’t think she’s an “idiot” at all. She’s very intelligent, and is a good statesperson. I do think she lacks a sense of cultural awareness that leads to her saying and doing things that come off pretentious and entitled, AND the right has been trying to destroy her career since the early 90s

        Yeah I regret not voting for her over trump, but I viewed both of them as trash candidates. The DNC corruption to support her over Bernie left me bitter and I couldn’t stomach casting a vote for a chronic lying career politician in the pocket of the banks.

        I have never been a Biden fan either, viewing him as a career politician who was always regarded as a centrist (e.g., drug policy) before the political spectrum went full tilt to the right. But I happily voted for Biden over trump and will vote for any candidate over him. I can also acknowledge the good Biden’s presidency has done.

        But Hillary Clinton is the biggest reason trump won. She is so unlikable and far from a progressive or honest politician. I would’ve voted for any other dem candidate back in 2016. It was the first election I could vote in, but I abstained when my decision was between a giant douche and a shit sandwich. Most people I knew in college at the time felt the same way. She never had the support of young adults.

        As much as I hated the trump presidency, at the same time, I was selfishly satisfied seeing her lose after the DNC/Debbie Wasserman Schultz scandal and Hillary Clinton’s pompous, obnoxious entitlement and “It’s my turn!” mentality. Let’s not forget that she and Bill Clinton were also friends with epstein and trump, and were in the same social circles before the 2016 run…

      The problem I see is that she matters absolutely zero. There is no person in the United States who would be influenced by Clinton who was not already a Biden voter. She’s also not going to scare away anyone who feels like they have to hold their nose and vote for Biden. She’s not going to win or lose any Trump voters. She’s not going to win or lose any Stein voters. I think the only person this is going to help is Clinton.

        The heads of some of the worst people from the bases of both parties would explode and there would be a critical popcorn shortage within days if not hours as demand skyrocketed.

        I’m here for it 😆

      Oh fuck that. The Republicans didn’t force her to rig the nomination race with Deb whatshername.
