    She was by far the most qualified presidential candidate in history. You’ve fallen victim to a smear campaign, but are blissfully unaware of it.

      It’s really insulting being told that my opinion is the result of a smear campaign.

      I witnessed the smear campaign. It was unfair. I still didn’t like her.

      Then I’m repeatedly fucking lectured that an embattled former First Lady, two term Senator, one term Secretary of State was the MOST QUALIFIED EVER candidate. Being embattled and disliked isn’t as great an asset as you want to think, especially when you LOSE.

      No, she fucking wasn’t. And the insistence that she was really hurt her chances because a mythology was being built up around her rather than presenting her as an honest, straightforward candidate.

      She was uniquely qualified to lose to trump.

      Yeah no. She was a status quo neoliberal who is emblematic of Democratic “centrism” that has enabled the right to push the US to the point it is right now without raising a finger to oppose it.

      Even now, the moron is telling voters to “get over themselves”. That’s not competence, that demonstrates a deeply narcissitic arrogance and an inability to take ownership of your own failures.

      There is no “smear campaign”, the idiot smeared herself.

      I do not want someone that dishonest and tone deaf near the levers of power.
