She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

    There are some democrats that are male progressives that have a law background that ran for president that are not hated by people? Who?

      Obviously every politician gets hatred. But the kind and volume towards women (or Black, or gay) politicians is much higher than their white male counterparts.

      For example, I definitely do not think that a thread like this would wind up with so much screeching about “cops” or “neoliberals” if it were about Al Gore. And probably would not have existed to begin with, because while he was, of course, radically progressive at the time (especially about climate change and technology) he was basically just a white progressive lawyer that ran for President.
