She was and is a decent person, good even. But she's flawed as a candidate. I never hated her, or even most of her rabid supporters. But to people outside her influence she was a mistake since 2008.
I think she ran a conventional campaign pigheadedly in an era where such things were so obviously an avenue for despair. Hate the game or the player, but you don't just get to wash your hands and blame the voter to the exclusion of anything else.
He perked up the worst in us. She managed to depress a coalition that had delivered resounding victories to a black man with all the baggage that racist fucks could muster.
