Nobody Really Likes Clinton
Her true fans are fucking dunderheads. The Bernie people are right to be sad and/or disgusted with Clinton, but they should not be surprised that a career centrist politician like Sanders has hitched his wagon to the Democratic nominee. Sanders served as an unexpected reminder that the next President didn't have to be quite so awful as Clinton (or a Republican) and as a sign that progress--even tiny amounts of progress--is impossible in our society. The simple fact that Bill Clinton's wife would even be seriously considered as a viable candidate by any exceptional American not named Hillary Clinton proves that our democracy and our society are beyond redemption. Bush, then Clinton, then Bush, Obama, then Clinton, with another Bush running. Almost anyone in America would be a better President than Hillary Clinton, yet we are stuck with her because our nation and our political system are irreparably broken. Fucked does not even begin to describe our reality.
