      The thing is, I’ve seen Trump supporters dodging criticism of the big lie by pointing to Hillary saying the election was stolen from her. Now it’s true that she didn’t do a January 6th, but it’s still cover.

      I will say, I think it’s true that without Russian interference she would have won. But that’s only true because her loss was so narrow, almost anything happening slightly better would have won her the election. The real question is: why did Democrats run a candidate weak enough that this was a possibility in the first place? Trump was an awful candidate, and he would have been trounced by any non-awful candidate. But it’s more comfy for people to stick their heads in the sand about the fact that HRC actually lost the election.

    She’s incredibly out of touch when it comes to students protesting Israel’s attacks on Palestine, but she did literally (which isn’t the same as legally) win in 2016, and I think I’d much rather vote for her over Biden in the 2024 election.

      Some people look at her entire career, but others look for what mistakes they can find.

      Representatives of the former group are out there.

          The legacy of people hating her started with her wanting universal health care and the unhinged media and political blitz to hate on her.

          Most people couldn’t tell you what policy of hers they don’t like “they just hate her”
