58. It is many of her positions and tactics that are vile, pointing them out is simply pointing them out

The idealized Hillary being unmasked to show the real Hillary is not the vile act you appear to think it is.

I do understand that those that believe the fictional facade consider the reality uncomfortable, but that can't be helped if one is to compare and contrast the truth about the candidates records, actions, goals and alliances.

Politics is not for the faint of heart and can be hurtful to those that wish to believe in a fictional identity that is used to justify an unreasoned love of a charade meant to fuel identity politics. Fingers in ears and protestations to the truth notwithstanding.

I am sorry if your heroine is a mirage that upon closer inspection reveals a neoliberal, hawkish politician fond of dirty politics, habitual untruthfulness and rovian tactics.
