Hillary won the primary by orchestrating the other candidates to drop out and unite behind her, when it showed Bernie was starting to win. Exercising her dynasty power (since we are talking about heirs) to pressure the delegates into a swift pro establishment decision.
Clinton is a far right war hawk by other countries standard and still a war hawk by US standards.
Also it is not something new to the US system, that the popular vote is not the all deciding factor, so blaming it on the voting system, especially after 8 years of Dem presidency and before that 8 years of Hillary god damn husband being president in the 90s is laughable.
Biden administration gives us four years of progressive policy and we can’t wait to hate it.
Record deportations, building Trumps wall, funding genocide in Gaza… Meanwhile not enacting any change to protect the US political system from Trump, after January 6 and just glossing over it as some singular event never to happen again, instead of understanding it as a clear sign of deep systematic issues that need urgent addressing.
You and i have very different understandings of what is progressive.
If you live on planet earth unfortunately you do have stakes in it. The US is still powerful enough to influence the life of everyone around the world.
