"Get over yourself
“Those are the two choices. It's kind of like, one is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart, and really cares about people. And one is old and has been charged with 91 felonies.

She’s right.
@flexghost The fact that she doesn't understand why people are upset and disillusioned with old school politics is the reason she lost in 2016.
It's not just chronological age it is too old to try to change the way we've always done it, even in the face of crisis. We can't stop supporting the Netanyahu genocide because we have always supported Israel. We can't pack the court and save reproductive freedom because the court has always had 9 justices. We can't completely restructure our industrial base in the face of a climate catastrophe because we have always taken a hands off approach to industrial policy.
This is old institutionalist thinking. It is why Clinton lost and why Biden is not cruising to victory against the worst candidate the GOP has ever ran (for the third time)
