4. But wait, to be fair, wasn't she the one that one time gave a speech to rich people?

That's what I heard back in 2016 and surely that's good enough reason to not vote for her and allow the biggest liar and criminal that ever lived to be president of the United States for a while, right?

Or at a minimum didn't we have to say "I will have to hold my nose to vote for her" and make sure everybody we knew or everybody around us heard it so many of them wouldn't bother to vote at all? I mean the election was lost by 70,000 votes across three states where Jill Stein got a lot of votes. So surely allowing Donald Trump to be president no matter how horrible that is, was better than having a life long liberal advocate for the American people, I mean she was a Woman after all!

And sure, now as a result of those folks, Women may not be able to vote at all now but hey...no big deal, right?

Surely those same people didn't make the same mistake in 2024 muttering the word "Gaza," right?
