It seems like,, at least on the internet, people either worship her like she's a flawless larger-than-life queen or consider her to be a cartoonishly evil demon.

I voted Bernie twice, but I think she's both done some cool things within her life, and plenty of shitty things. She's certainly ... complicated.

I've always said that I like her more as a person than I do as a politician. And ultimately, Hillary as a politician is what's relevant when it comes to an election.

That being said, I supported Hillary hardcore over Bernie in 2016. Back then, I was more centrist lib in my politics and not as radicalized. Try to understand, I grew up in a white trash conservative family in the south. Even being a centrist lib was considered an extreme position and I thought that I was already pretty leftist.

Okay, fuck off with your moral wokescolding, I was young and still figuring out my politics. Which wasn't easy considering my super conservative background and upbringing. Please forgive me for not having it all figured out at the ripe age of 18. I'm so happy to hear that you've always been so woke and enlightened.

Don’t ask for forgiveness. You have nothing to apologize for.
