If Hillary is our nominee, we will see a very much smaller Democratic turnout of people about as exited to vote for her as they are when they have to empty the kitty litter and for the same reason, it would smell worse not to do so (it is called the hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils strategy).
At the same time it will increase Republican enthusiasm by a factor of ten that will show up in droves to vote against her because of what is now a multiple generation hatred of her (fair or unfair but a very real fact).
Her being our front-runner in this General Election will see us back decades as she will cost us the White House, even more senate seats, and an unheard of loss in house seats, the loses we will face after in the Supreme court as a consequence over time will cause immeasurable damage.
I hope Yui that that image goes viral and awakens some of those under the spell of mediocrity, neoliberalism, and the mistaken belief that it is "her turn" and causes them to to awaken and see the writing on the wall and the consequences we will face..
by the way, your new pics on the bottom show you are as adorable as ever, the cuteness is as strong in you as your intelligence
