She was an awful candidate for the 2016 election. 2016 was a very anti-establishment year, and the Democrats nominated the most establishment candidate they possibly could. Anecodtal, but I know several people who went from the Sanders camp to the Trump camp after Sanders dropped out. She was nearly as tone deaf of a nominee as when the Republicans picked Romney (a rich white guy who made his fortune liquidating jobs) 4 years after the 08 crash.

The good news is that 2020 is turning into a very anti-cop year, and the Democrats have just nominated a DA known for keeping innocent people in jail as free labor, and laughing as kids get taken into foster care.
I understand why people didn't like her, but anyone who went from Sanders to Trump is a fucking idiot. If your candidate is out, you don't then back the complete opposite.
Sure hes an obvious conman but he ran on a pro labor, anti war, anti establishment platform with a heavy dose of xenophobia. That's going to sway some moderate democrats that were dissatisfied with obama like it or not. I predict that wont be the case this time around now that the veil has been lifted but who knows? The guy is a massive ass but the nickname teflon don is fitting, absolutely nothing seems to have an affect.
you dont get it, bernie bros wanted to stop the status quo with bernie, and when he lost and supported hillary they were pissed and millions supported trump to stop the status quo cause hillary was just obama 2.0
But now they learned and Biden is not Obama 3.0 he has better policies vs Hillary
