Fuck Hillary Clinton like 0.98x as much as fuck Trump
She all but delivered us Trump.
People buying into anti-Hillary propaganda is what delivered us Trump. Go ahead and read up and how she has chosen to dedicate her time and resources throughout her adult life. See if that matches your current view of her. Everyone claims to want politicians that aren't corrupt, but Hillary is a lesson in how much we hate those very politicians.
Her campaign heavily leaned on the media in 2015 and 2016 to promote Trump because they thought he would be an easy candidate to beat. Not to mention the nonsense with Bernie and the DNC.
Were it not for Hillary, Trump would likely have never even been the nominee.
Iirc, she was touring public housing with a NY housing group. I'm assuming it was a photo op thing and the plants in the sink threw her off. People forget the Clinton's are dems from Arkansas. They're neoliberals, but from a state so poor they actually want public programs.
I like to shit on her, but she was a damn capable politician. I don't know anymore after 30 years of republican propaganda making sure everyone hated her. No one is immune to propaganda, but bitches get stuff done.
And Hillary's father was a business owner in Chicago... And that's where she grew up. She moved to Arkansas after Yale.
She just acts like a Southerner as a PR move. As illustrated by people still thinking she was a poor girl from Arkansas when she lived a life of privilege before going to one of the best schools on the continent.

Now, Bills family wasn't well off.
But Hillary didn't marry him for money, she saw a smart charismatic man who would do well in politics and hitched her wagon to him.
She was already pretty well off.
To be fair to this image, I think I would also have that face when walking into a kitchen where they are growing whatever that is in the sink.
Wait she went into an ordinary Americans home? That sounds like... more than most politicians. I get her face looks shocked, but isn't this more of a positive thing. Being aware of the photo, I didn't think about it to much until now, but why is it such a bad thing? Gasp! She gasped. Yeah she didn't know that we all grow big plants in the sink. Now she does and that's more than 99 percent of congress. She still failed though, and that's because she sucked at spin.
