Hillary's platform advocated for stricter gun laws. It hurt her, but she was honest

[lunamagica]

and she knew it was the right thing to do. It took a lot of courage and it speaks volumes about her integrity.

Today, it hurts even more that she is not in the W. H.

1. She was honest about a lot of things (like coal jobs) and it hurt her.

I admire her all the more for it.

[lunamagica]

7. I feel the same way. It makes me admire her more than I already do

[TNLib]

2. I know that just depresses me even more now that she is not president

8. Yes. It's so hard. so hard. The depression doesn't go away. It just gets worse

[Marengo]

3. How did it hurt her?

[lunamagica]

5. Stricter gun laws, an issue most candidates avoid like the plage (unless they are against it)

because it sends the pro-gun crowd into a frenzy with screams of "The liberuls are trying to take away our guns". The right and the NRA spins the issue and make it sound like "stricter gun laws = ban off all weapons for everybody".

That's why it hurt her.

6. So important to point this out.

[lunamagica]

9. It is. I'd like the pundits and the media to address it, but I'm not holding my breath
