After someone chided me
for not citing a single
reason I felt some            (Real election nerds never let go,
antipathy for Hillary         re-fighting the wars a couple of cycles
Clinton, I eventually         back isn't even an extreme case.)
responded:

  Why would I bother?  It's not like you want to hear it.

  Anyway, starting with the Clintons at play in Arkansas,
  Hillary was clearly in on a money-laundering scheme where    WHITEFOAM
  she pretended to be prescient at betting on cattle
  futures (way it works: you and the guy who's paying you
  off put a bet down at a brokerage house, the house
  changes the way you bet retroactively so that you always
  miraculously win).

  The sheer quantity of wealth--                                (May 2022)
  e.g. the number of mansions she       Bernie's attacks on Hillary for doing
  owns-- is pretty amazing once you     highly paid and essentially *secret*
  look into it.                         speaking enagements for Goldman-Sachs
                                        were well taken: that's classic Hillary
                                        right there, sucking down the money in
                                        the brief window of time when it's legal
                                        for her to do it, between her Senate
                                        stint and her Presidential run.

  Then there's the gay rights thing,
  where you guys are apparently in
  denial but she literally kept
  changing her mind and then claimed
  she hadn't.  This is on video.
  (I wouldn't care so much about her
  changing her mind, it's not being
  able to keep the story straight
  later that bugs me).

  There's a bunch of 90s era things that aren't cool, like
  the "super-predators" line-- somewhat similar to the
  "deplorables" line, where *what* she said, like it or
  not, is pretty similar to things a lot of people were
  saying, but the language she picked bugs me (look up the
  history of "deplorables" some time, it's the kind of
  thing Nazis said about those lower races).

  Or, there was that time when she was a NY Senator, and
  she gave a speech about Israel/Palestine, where she
  invited the citizens of New York to consider how they
  would feel if they were under attack from Canada.
  (If I were going to run some absurd counter-factuals by
  them, I might ask them how they'd feel if the UN had
  decided to put Israel in Brooklyn.)

  This kind of thing, combined with her Iraq War vote,
  makes me worry that she's a knee-jerk hawk-- yeah, I
  preferred her to Trump, yeah, I voted for her, but one
  thing you can give Trump is he didn't start any new
  wars (I actually *expected* him to do this-- he certainly
  understands the rally-round-the-flag effect-- it's the one
  thing that might've jacked his approval rating).

  And by the way-- Elizabeth Warren is okay by me.  I've
  contributed to money to women running for office.
  Whatever sexism I may have, I'm not so far gone I can't
  stand the thought of a woman in the white house (once
  again I VOTED FOR HILLARY).  The recurrent idea you guys
  keep coming back to that the *only* reason *anyone* could
  dislike Hillary Clinton is a raging unstated case of
  sexism makes you guys seem like complete lunatics ...




               One of the Hillarites in this
               discussion remarked:

                   "Those afflicted with Hillary
                   Derangement Syndrome should feel
                   free to bray at the moon, scream
                   into the wind or do whatever else
                   is necessary to get that energy
                   out of their system."

               This sounds like a fun event.
               Does anyone know where it's held?
