The former secretary of state accuses today's youth of not understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict. This is a symptom of her limited imperial imagination
Where in my post did I say I hate Hilary? I said it was her vs Bernie for me and I preferred Bernie. Nowhere did I say I hated her. I remember looking at what they stood for and their history, and I preferred Bernie. I’m not going to comment on specific policy positions from 8 years ago. I dont remember that shit. Maybe you can in which case I’m jealous of your memory. But I do remember general feelings which is why I said what I did.
You are prolly right about if someone bases their opinion alone on feelings, then it’s likely heavily influenced by propaganda. But I did mention Bernies history and what he stood for. I didn’t specifically mention Hilarys though. But I did look at that stuff at the time. I just remember feelings better than specifics.
That being said, you also can’t judge someone alone based on their policies. They are politicians. There’s a decent chance they will lie and say what they think people want to hear with no intent to follow through. So you have to also look at their history. And I also like to look at how they speak. Do they feel genuine? Of course they could be amazing liars. But I think feelings/gut instinct do have a role to play. It’s just not as important as their history and policies. And for me, Bernie checked all 3 of those boxes better than Hilary did.

That’s fair, it was 8 years ago. But 8 years ago, few people cared about her policies either.
