That's enough for me.
In a nutshell, this. This sums it up as well though:
But I'd argue that Hillary can actually get more progressive goals accomplished than he could, since she knows how to work the system. Give me the tough as nails tenacious sketchy bitch that knows the true colors of the Republicans and the ugliness of sausage making over the naive inspirational black guy or the somewhat delusional socialist, every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Also, Hillary has always been a liberal. The "right wing neoliberal warmonger" crap is a myth perpetuated by sexist whiny bros on the internet. You can't hold her accountable for her husband's presidency, considering the Congress and the country as a whole was very right wing in the 90s. She's done a lot of great work with her advocacy for health care reform and women's rights. So although I do agree with Bernie that the Dems need to move more to the left (which is why I would've supported him over say, Biden or Cuomo or Warner) I line up much better ideologically with her than I do with a self proclaimed socialist.
In addition, I kind of have an emotional connection to Hillary since she was the first candidate for president I ever supported. I obviously didn't follow politics much in 2004 as an 11 year old, and only vaguely supported Kerry because "he is against Bush and Bush is dumb." I only truly became a political junkie in 07-08. So there's another reason, if not a great one, that I support her. Oh, and it's time for a female president. Sorry Reddit bros, it is not "sexist" to think this.
