The objection was to the claim that the left loved him at any point after 1994.
What do you think why 1996 had the lowest turnout in American history? Clinton got only 70% of Obama's raw vote. The Nader campaign of 2000 was created by the Clinton presidency (remember that, for every vote Nader got, another sympathizer bottled out when they understood how close the election was. And Gore ran to Clinton's left.)
Incidentally, a good measure of people with good memories of the Clinton years is, of course, Hilary's primary performance (among non-Blacks, and excluding the later racism and operation Chaos impacted primaries): Centrist Dem partisans remembered him fondly and voted, basically, for a return of the good times. Centrist indies and the left were united in preferring themselves some
change.
