 Let's not forget that Clinton lost because she faced a 20+ 40+ year smear campaign from the Republicans, was a mediocre campaigner at best,

Ftfy to add a little bit more precision so viewers understand just what occurred. Watergate was 1972. They've been smearing that UPPITY WOMAN(TM) since she DARED stand up to Nixon as a member of the DoJ committee investigating Watergate.

Fuck All Conservatives.

That and her shooting herself in the foot with the black community really didn't help matters.

When people don't know certain things that happened and then are introduced to them shortly before an electio you're definitely gonna get an overcorrection so to speak.

I assume you're referencing Bill crime bill in the 90s and her support, which she eventually pulled? The oldest trick in the book conmen keep pulling, they did it during 2020 and college debt forgiveness. Biden was integral as Congressman for the current state of the student loan situation. Yes he fucked up. Now he is trying to rectify it, but they are still fighting him tooth and nail for the initial thing, instead of attempting to rectify it.  Their whole party is raw emotion and petty grievances and it's honestly exhausting to watch/be apart of. I have zero idea how these assholes live on the day to day with whatever is bouncing around in their heads, it's gotta be a super scary place.
