Next time someone tells you Joe is too old remind them of what was being said about Hillary 4 years ago.

but generally speaking if it were a man being referred to, I wonder if it would matter how he looks.

I personally would be pointing out what they said, versus how he ended up being. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I would be talking about a man, in the same situation. I would maybe hope some outsiders would be paying attention to the propaganda from last time and dismissing it, because of this. This time around.

followed by a comment about the POTUS we could have had.

If it were John Kerry I doubt anyone would have said "He looks fantastic !! What a POTUS we could have had" - it just strikes me as odd that refers to her looks and then about what a great president she would have made - I doubt the same would hold true if it were about a man.

That's all.

Usually adding how energetic he was or surprise that he could give an excellent speech. Also, consider how many comments are made on how Obama looks great.

Here, the fact that HRC DOES look healthy, but and SANE is what triggers that comment. Not sexism. FOR many, it is reassuring to see her looking as she does.

During the Obama administration, there were often OPs, comments and responses in regard to how well he carried a particular suit or casual look,

Not trying, eh?

Apparently no one understands what I'm trying to say.

Suffice it to say that if I started an OP with a photo of Hillary I wouldn't comment on her looks, I'd probably say something about how talented or competent she was and then lead into what a waste that she didn't become president. I don't see why or how her looks have anything to do with it.

But, that's just me I guess.

Taking on the pro-covid opposition head-on. Enlisting support troops and organizing messaging from gov't and medicine and business. Weekly calls with Merkel (and others, but Merkel especially) to compare notes and encourage each other. Would have been awesome. So many lives would have been saved in the US as well as the world, as so many other countries would have followed her leadership.

and other underserved areas. That would have been a boon to some parents when the schools closed. And then there was her steely-eyed aversion to Mr. Putin. Among other motives for the Russians to nudge our elections was a desire not to have Clinton setting policy at the State Department.

We democrats are very culpable for soaking up all the stupid Republican talking points against Hillary or at least making us lukewarm about supporting her. I voted for her enthusiastically but so many Democrats were echoing the inane, unjustified and non reasoned criticisms of Hillary.

I'm still at a loss to why she isn't president. She was elected president by 3 million votes. At this point I really don't believe we are still a democracy, haven't since 2016.

The electoral college, senators appointed in early days, not elected. Native Americans, women, blacks, not able to vote. Voter suppression, voter roll purges, and the list goes on and on. This country sends observers to other countries, yet there should be observers here as well.

One person, one vote. Direct elections.

As president she would be working her ass off, maybe 1000 dead, with the GOP screaming blood on her hands and more..

She wouldn’t look this good, but we would.
