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.

As I said…

Her polling numbers started going up during her time in the Senate and hit another peak of 58 percent in 2007 while a senator and just after announcing she would run for president, according to Gallup. After another dip, it shot up to 65 percent in 2009 when she became secretary of state and stayed high for most of her tenure.

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

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.
