      2016 was awful…it was like choosing between breaking some ribs or a breaking a femur. It was going to suck no matter what. Turns out the femur break was a compound fracture that had gangrene set in.

      In retrospect do I wish she had won? Yes. Definitely. On the other hand, that might have meant a 2020 Trump victory.

      Unless she really embraced the progressive wing of the party and really moved the country forward in terms of resolving home ownership, income stagnation, or health care in an impactful way, I can’t imagine her getting a second term.

        I voted for her, but i seriously held my nose while doing it. I volunteered for Obama, but i didn’t for Hilary. I was demotivated by the polls saying she was a sure thing, and by me seriously not liking her as a person and many of her political positions. She was obviously way better than Trump, but man was she a crappy candidate.

            Same as the other guy I volunteered for Obama and in 2016 I voted for her but I don’t/didn’t think she should be president. To me she was disqualified because she was the spouse of a former president. Same as I don’t want Michelle Obama to be president. I don’t care how qualified or if she would have brought about a utopian future. I don’t want families running the country.

              Of all the reasons to not want Hillary to be president, this has got to be one of the most absurd takes I’ve encountered.

                Why? We’re not a dynasty. We can find people just as qualified outside familial ties.

                Your willingness to just accept passing power family members is more absurd to me.

    Democrats trying to pull a Clinton2.0

    Watch them blame leftists again when they lose and proceed to shift the entire party even more right. Because if more people voted Republican that must mean people wanted the Democrats to be more right wing!
