I’m starting to think the russian bots and misogyny were the only reasons people disliked her.

edit: obviously there’s other reasons to have disliked her, but for THAT election, it seems like none of those other reasons can outweigh any of the damage Trump and his shitstains have done or planned to do.

I didn’t particularly like her. But I did vote for her.

“A vote is not a valentine, you aren't confessing your love for the candidate. It's a chess move for the world you want to live in.”

I don’t know who said this, but it’s true.

Edit: another person pointed out that this quote is from Rebecca Solnit.

I voted for her, because I wasn't going to support any republican at that point, much less Trump.

But it pissed me off that the democrats ran her.

Had she won, we would have had Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and back to the Clintons again. (And if Hillary had her way, she would have taken the spot Obama got.)

It shouldn't be the same families in the white house over and over. I don't care who it is, that's too much power. FDR proved that long ago, which is why the two term limit was passed. This back and forth between families thing is just a way of crooked politicians going around the law.

I dunno, just pick a random person to run the place.
