63. I agree that we need someone young to last a couple of generations, BUT

this would be about giving a woman her due...

And Biden is going to be able to appoint several more. Kavanaugh, Thomas, Gorsuch at a minimum. But first, Hillary could replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Hillary won the presidency by almost 3,000,000 votes, but lost due to Electoral College manipulation by the two biggest enemies of this country, Trump and Putin. And we did nothing. We should have been in the streets, but instead, we sat with our collective thumbs up our collective asses, because "technically" it was a win. But it was a technical win based on cheating.

We sat back and waited for deliverance by the "system". What we got was a toothless Mueller putting out a report that he refused to stand behind, a Roy Cohn attorney general in Bill Barr who blatantly lied about the report. Mueller could do nothing more than send a "strongly worded" letter, then fade into obscurity. EVERYONE knew he lied, but nothing was done. Barr said himself that Mueller could have filed indictments if he wanted. Still, Mueller did nothing. The judicial system works at such a glacial pace for manipulated political cases, by the time the issues involved are resolved it is moot, and no one gives a fuck any longer.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the most qualified people to ever win the presidency.

She deserves SOMETHING for her tireless work over decades, and for putting up with the most profound pile of shit ANY politician has EVER had to endure. WE OWE HER.

Besides, the republicans would clutch their pearls, fall on their fainting settee, and shit their pants while their head explodes. That alone would be worth it. This is one act of "revenge" that I am all in for.

Nothing would make me happier, and give me such hope for the future.

We would be so lucky, yet we really don't deserve her.
