This is what we all wanted from the beginning, for her to be "authentic" and "honest." Now when she is, people still complain. Hillary can never make anyone happy.
That's not the point. She's completely delusional, and she's focus on every single one of the thousand paper cuts that did her in as the *reason* she lost, depending on which interview she's given. Sexism cost her the election? Democrats were peddling the narrative of "anyone who wouldn't vote for a Black/female/gay/foreign/whatever candidate is voting Republican already" narrative MANY, many years before 2016. Being a "capitalist" cost her votes in the primary? So what? You WON the primary; why do you even care?! It just comes across as her chastising 40% of her own party. Trump won in places that "weren't dynamic" and were kind of down and out? THAT'S YOUR FAULT. You're the frickin' Democratic nominee for President, stopping in town halls across the country claiming that you're the party that stands up for the little guy and that Republicans only stand up for affluent, White men, and then you turn around and talk about Trump voters like they're these icky undesirables that weren't good enough to vote for you?
The woman, through the most subtle ways (ways that are easy to explain away and defend by her supporters on a case by case basis but start to point to a trend when they're literally all she talks about now) but over and over, gives off the impression that she's an elitist. Period. That, predictably, cost her votes that she needed as the nominee of a liberal political party (an ideology that is at least SUPPOSED to stand against elitism and concentrated wealth and power), and now she's bitter about it even though she should have seen it coming from a mile away. Being a woman cost her votes. Being a "capitalist" (like every other Democratic nominee ever, BTW) probably cost her some primary votes. Refusing to be as *racist* as Trump cost her votes (but won her others). You know what would have EASILY made up the difference? If she had appeared to genuinely care about the disadvantaged in America. Did she actually? How the hell would I know? Is that unfair that enough voters doubted her authenticity? Sure, but I think it was unfair that Romney suffered the same problem. Her job as a politician - and specifically a Democratic one - is to convince voters that she cares about their problems and that she'll be the one to improve their struggling situation. She failed, pure and simple, and since that is the career she entered by choice, it's a pretty bad look for her to be making excuses.
HagridOfTheDeep is a nauseating Elitist, but at least he's honest about it. I'll give him props for that.
Hillary is a poser. Go to video clips of her when she was First Lady of Arkansas and listen to her fake a Southern accent. (I'm amazed she isn't hammered more over that than she is.) The problem with being a poser is when you get caught posing, and this has happened to her over and over again. She really does think she's intrinsically better, and more entitled, than other people, and when politicians can't keep that under control, that's when they have problems.
I'll put it another way: Donald Trump, rude and crude and loutish Donald Trump, has nowhere near the sense of entitlement Hillary Clinton has. Trump, despite his many, many personality and character issues, does not believe he has it coming to him; indeed, he believes that he's going to have to fight for everything he gets. This difference is the reason people seem to be incredibly longsuffering about Trump, but not with Hillary. Don't argue with me; just look at people in your own lives and consider how you view the folks who are scrappy to a fault and how you view the folks who view themselves as having nothing to prove.
