    She’s as corrupt as any corporate owned neoliberal Warhawk. Bought and paid for since Bill was govenor. I voted for her because what other choice did I have? But it was a bitter pill to swallow.

      So now she’s not crooked? Just an ordinary vanilla politician? Because yes. She is a vanilla boring politician. She is not corrupt like a Trump. She is not idiotic like a Dubya. She’s not a criminal like the majority of the cabinet positions from the 2016-2020 era of dystopia.

      But being a money hungry politician running for political office in an oligarchy. And since Citizens United, the US is one of the most corrupt oligarchies on the planet. It takes money to play and she knows what she has to do to get money to run and win a non-rigged election for even the highest office while giving some energy back to supporters way down the line that voted for her. This is American politics. And it’s disgusting.

        I think you overestimate most of the planet.
