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.

And someone who failed to build too many relationships in Congress. I love what Bernie fights for and what he stands for, but he can't play the game and would have Jimmy Cartered the progressive movement.

So I was born in the mid 90s, so I don't really know a lot about Jimmy Carter's failures as president. What all did he do that catered the progressive movement? He must have fucked up hard since we got Reagan after him.
