You had me until you said "I like Nancy"—because while I'm TOLD she was a real Progressive at one point? She's been a sub-Princess of NeoLib Evil for so long I'm sickened by her—just like I'm sickened by The Qween of NeoLib Evil Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Neo lib evil? When the other side is promoting actual evil fascism? Had you voted for Clinton, we would still have Roe, for starters. Not sure how much progress you think can be made when half the voting population are religious idiots.

...and the OTHER half worships the Clintons over Bernie Sanders and The Squad!

NeoLiberalism is what makes the Right Wing Majority possible, because rather than looking out for the working and middle income voters like Bernie, AOC, Ihlan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib et al are doing, NeoLibs only care about fucking Finance Industry Executives.

FYI, given Hillary said several times she wanted to "open a dialogue" with the KKKhrister Right over Women's Choice? I seriously doubt Roe v. Wade was in safe hands with the likes of HER....

Anybody that thinks Hillary would have nominated the same 3 Extreme Court "justices" that Trump did is not thinking clearly, IMO.

I worship no one. Clinton spoke at one of my commencements at UIUC in the 90s about a national health plan she herself had created. In the 90s. Pelosi and Obama gave us the ACA. Marriage equality was a huge step forward.

You sound young. Had you voted Dem, we wouldn't be in this mess. "The more progressive than thou" Bernie brats.

*Obama* gave us the ACA—Hillary took her ball and went home at the first sign of pushback...and Big Insurance donations! Pelosi didn't do shit to support Bernie's public option.... So zip it about St. Hillary and St. Nancy—they're a pair of fucking Corporate sellouts.

I'm probably older than you are—certainly old enough to know that Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton destroyed what was left of The New Deal and the Great Society.

Hillary brought Trump down on us, because she was arrogant enough to think she could beat him. She couldn't even do THAT much....

I guess Most Enlightened One here thinks the Dems have had the trifecta since Reagan, I guess?

More to the point. Are you voting blue no matter who THIS TIME or not? If not, I want to block you because I will never forget nor forgive 2016. I've been a 2nd wave feminist since the 70s, and the first woman president, whether a perfect candidate or not, would have been the 2nd most progressive thing to have happened in my lifetime, after 1st black president.

Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good. And don't blame Clinton because you voted 3rd party, JFC.

There was a lot going on that happened. Putin had his finger in that pie for sure, just like he does right now.

3rd party voter DR Darke blocked me when I asked him if he was blue no matter who before I could block him. 🙄

Obviously the block was a failure, BoomerAtLarge, because I can still READ your Hillaryinstra Drivel!

I voted Green in 2016 and 2020, because Bernie Sanders wasn't a write-in candidate in my state. I'm voting for Biden in 2024 because, unlike Hillary Rodham Clinton, her repulsive corporate-sucking NeoLiberalism, and all her scandals that you all conveniently scream "Russia!" about being exposed to public scrutiny? Joe Biden is actually pursuing a somewhat progressive agenda that I can support—and Trump is running as a Mask-Off dictator this time.

You can take your Qween and coo about what Might Have Been? But she's not worth the powder to blow her traitor ass to Hell....

Hillary Rodham Clinton is Eleanor Iselin in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, only for real.

Ok mansplainer. Stop with your rabid misogyny.

One thing I know about Hillary is Putin hates her, BECAUSE she was not corrupt as Sec of State. You and Putin have that in common at least.

Thanks to your false claims, misogyny and those of your ilk, we got Trump. At least own it.

You may think what you like, HillBot—because if your Qween had won? America would have been a smoking crater within six months of her taking power, since all she WANTED was to "go toe-to-toe with Putin"! Her entire General Election campaign was her slavering at the prospect of showing she was "tougher" than that homophobic psycho Russian strongman....

Now, let me see if I can block you SUCCESSFULLY this time, because I'm sick of YOUR rabid support of a traitor (Yes, Her E-Mails!).

Definitely a mansplainer with some misogyny thrown in it feels like. If you're voting 3rd party after the age of 25, you're clueless about the reality of US politics.
