If you're sick of Clintons, sick of anything that reminds you of the last 20 years in American politics, and/or sick when you think about Hillary's Iraq vote, triangulation, etc., then go vote for someone else with my unequivocal blessing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That's awesome! I'm still floored that her dialogue made it past editors without anyone ever saying, "this sounds like you copied it out of a reference book."
