Hillary, much like Trump, is a symptom of what is wrong with the Democrats. "It was her turn" spat in the face of people who were excited about a progressive candidate and made the whole primary a sham.
She was a terrible candidate. She was a bitter pill that many independents said "enough is enough" and voted third party or not voted at all.
I am deeply concerned that as the Republicans move more toward fascism, the left are not going to have great candidates. We're going to get established, wealthy-class friendly candidates who are willing to throw crumbs at the working class. They'll bitch and moan about how they are losing voters, never looking at themselves, never realizing that we are literally voting to just survive.
This election will be just like 2020. We aren't voting for Biden. We're voting against fascism.
And I'm personally getting fucking tired of Democrats seeing that as a win.
Well, the ~~Republicans~~ Democrats will have an option of being "less fascist party" by then. I feel like the future is not too bright, somehow
Edit: mixed the opposites somehow 🫠
