    Yeah, I don’t want to see or hear about Hilary Clinton anymore. She pushed her way in and fucking lost to Trump.

      The fact that she lost the 2008 primary to Obama (basically unknown at that stage) should’ve been a clue that she’s deeply unpopular and unelectable.

      Part of it is because of decades of right wing smears, but part of it is also because she can sound very out of touch at times.

        Yep, it fucking sucks that the GOP propaganda machine spent decades convincing people she was Satan in the flesh, but they did, and it was completely bullheaded to think that could be undone. Especially during an election that was clearly taking a populist tone when she had at that point become the face of the establishment for so many. Goddamn it I still can’t believe we’re in this shit timeline

          She comes across incredibly inauthentic, like she’s playing a character. A lot of people pick up on that easily, which is why it’s so easy for people to not like her, regardless of her political positions
