The Atlas Hillary obsession

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

For me Hillary is a lot of things (good and bad), but not even close to a person generating personal enthusiasm (outside of a small number of die-hard hacks; sorry guys, but she's still quite unpopular at large). I don't have to droll over her to hope she'll win this election.

All candidate worship is annoying, whether it's about Hillary, Trump, Bernie, Rubio, Paul etc. And, God, while I supported Bernie, many of his fanboys were simply cringeworthy.

For me it's because almost all criticism of Hillary is complete f[inks]ing bullsh!t and that just as much applies to from the left (example: jfern's posting history and any videos from H.A. Goodman or the "Sane" "Progressive") so I find it difficult to Have any antipathy to her. All these morons attacking her just makes me like her more and more.

To be fair, you'd say exactly the same thing about any Democratic nominee.

I don't feel "antipathy" toward Hillary. It's just another side of the coin called hackery.

Secondly, I feel she's subjected to tons of incredibly unreasonable attacks (as you outline in your post) and that causes me to argue more favourably for her than I otherwise would.

It's true Hillary had been a subject of many ruthless attacks since the 90s. My doubts about Hillary are based on her performance as health care reform manager, Senator and SoS, which I find less than impressive. But most of the "criticism" she'd been receiving since the 90s is a total bull. Vince Foster, Whitewater, Benghazi blah blah blah.

Also, for all I care, she could've personally shot Vince Foster and then ate his liver. I'd still prefeer her over the orange douchebag.

Atlas is not in love with Hillary.

But the point is you'd be very hard-pushed to find another online forum in which she has as much support as on here.

Yes, but the two are not mutually exclusive in any way.

Easy. She's a smart able and policy focused person with a record of achievement. She's about the job, not the show. Of course she's flawed, but we all are, but the rest of us don't have a 40 year public record, there were problematic decisions but not once has evidence been found of willful wrong-doing.

I don't see anything very impressive about her resume. A botched health care reform, very uneventful Senate term and I'm not particularly wild about her time as SoS ("Reset", mishandled Libya and Syria). Obama's second term was much more successfull in foreign affairs.

I agree she had a lot of experience, but let's drop with this "muh great accomplishments" nonsense. It's also irrelevant. Many successfull Presidents had poor record before. I mean, what was Obama's resume?

In my opinion (biased, like every personal opinion) Hillary seems like a very generic politician. Of course I take her not just over Trump, but basically any Republican.

As far as personality is concerned, I actually find her much more likeable than it's being frequently suggested. Certainly better than Bill.
