The former secretary of state accuses today's youth of not understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict. This is a symptom of her limited imperial imagination
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.
I’m not OP, but for me, it was her verse Bernie. She felt like voting for the status quo and would likely not bring about any big changes. She might have beought about some good chnages but to me, I got the vibe she just wanted her moment and the title of first female president. Maybe I’m wrong but she just felt like the corporate choice. On the other hand there was Bernie. Yes, another old white guy, but this one actually felt genuine and made me feel like he could actually change things (though the house and senate might have something to say about that). Plus just look at his history. Dude was a stand up guy and never changed. That all being said, I still voted Hilary when Bernie lost to her because I knew trump was going to be horrible for this country.
This is how you know you’ve fallen for propaganda. Almost every single time I ask about Hillary’s policy positions, the people who hate Hillary either spout some right wing conspiracy bs or they just talk about “vibes”.
(There’s the occasional leftist who actually knows what her policy positions are but 95% of the times it’s bs or vibes)
She frequently demonstrates exactly why she didn’t get elected.

What political positions didn’t you like when she was running?

This is almost exactly my opinion
I also voted for Bernie and then for Hillary. But I think Hillary did just have bad feels built against her for 30 years.

I don’t remember at this point, it was
48 years ago8 years ago dude
I complained for Bernie and was big mad about the contested convention and how it’s screwed him. If we got Bernie we would not be in this situation
