She was a high-ranking official in the outgoing administration who had very narrowly lost the last contested primary and had a larger profile than the VP. It’s not “stacking the deck” that no one wanted to run against her.

Yeah that's wrong, and largely forgets how vindictive the Clintons have been for 40 years, but also I just hope you learn the right lesson and to not stack the deck for a historically unpopular politician who was the only candidate that could have lost to Trump in 16 lol

Love to be lectured by a guy who seems to not know Hillary was Secretary of State and narrowly lost the 2008 nomination to Obama.

Also a guy who fails to acknowledge that she was massively popular until Republicans targeted her with Benghazi in order to drive down her favorable. And that she was in great shape to beat Trump until the pre-election “her emails” shit.

We went from the idea of a black president being the stuff for science fiction to her losing to a guy named Barack Obama in 2008 lol She literally lost to Trump, a candidate any other Dem would have beat. Recreating history that she was massively popular is a wild delusion.

And the “Obama was a black man and she couldn’t beat him” narrative only demonstrates what we now know: misogyny continues to be a huge factor in presidential elections.

How did she lose to Trump with vote totals less than Obama got in 2008 or 2012 seems like that's a pretty important poll to reference

Ladyparts give too many Midwestern men (and women) the ick.

I definitely think her general unpopularity was multiplied by her being a woman, it's a very real thing. Also hurt Warren, who I supported in 2020.
