As far as her being trustworthy, personally I’d trust her as much or more than about 90% of politicians out there, which is admittedly a pretty low bar, and probably says more about how shit our politicians are overall as opposed to being a particularly positive comment about her.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t exactly like her, she’s far from my first choice, but overall I’d generally trust her to do what she says she’s going to do. I may not always like what she says she’s going to do, but sadly the bar is low enough that just being upfront about the ways she’d fuck us over is almost refreshing compared to the flat out lies and bait-and-switch schemes and such most politicians pull.
I also generally trust her to not be outright malicious, maybe greedy, misguided, short-sighted, stubborn, and/or wrong, sure, I could definitely see those, but I don’t think she’s generally out to hurt people she doesn’t like just for the sake of hurting people, which again is sadly how low our bar is set.
No other real disagreements with your comment, I’d agree that shes not charismatic, not likeable, but fairly trustworthy as far as politicians go, which is a huge asterisk to throw on there.
If I woke up from a coma into a world with president Hillary, I’d be far from thrilled, but I could also kind of shrug it off as “well we could have done a lot worse.”
I agree. I don’t think she’s worse than any other liberal politician, and I think notably better than all but the most progressive ones (like better than Biden probably) . Her biggest sin (imo) is that she’s not very charismatic. Like the opposite of Michelle Obama - who’s very likeable and charismatic but has no political ambitions.
