39. I used to like her

Apr 2016

and don't insult me by insinuating that I changed my mind due to Republican vilification. I changed my mind due to observation. I remember Hillary opposing my equal rights as a gay person. I remember her support for NAFTa and other trade agreements. I remember her supporting the Iraq war. I remember her voting for the Bankruptcy Bill. I remember her lying about Bosnia. I remember her constant "evolutions" and denials about them. I don't deserve her. I deserve a better President who is a true progressive. I deserve someone who stands for something for more time than it takes to sense a change in public opinion. I deserve someone who is not more hawkish on foreign policy that many Republicans. I will have to settle for her and she will be better than Trump in the way a dripping faucet is better than a flood. She does NOT represent my progressive values and hat is because she is a moderate on most issues and a conservative on others and, while you might be (which is your right), I am not and never will be.
