The (recent) past is rapidly becoming another country

While searching for something completely different, found this link again in an old post. Hillary Clinton in the spring of 2009, responding to a question (in the House) about the role of U.S. government supporting access to safe abortion, contraception, maternal health care and education abroad with a vigorous defense of reproductive rights and family planning.

"Sec. Hillary Clinton Defends Reproductive Rights and Family Planning" (Watch on YouTube)

This is why "just as bad/no difference/no one knew what she was standing for/didn't do anything for others in her time of office" talk still makes me so furious.

The "oh she offered nothing concrete, she was just not-Trump, she had no plans" narrative is everywhere now and it's DRIVING. ME. NUTS. It's so false and makes me so angry.

It also makes you wonder whether a single journalist who claims that ever bothered to listen to a single speech, or check the website. Plans, in detail: she had them!

Yeah, I mean OF ALL THE CANDIDATES to say they didn't offer anything concrete in response to the opposition.....//boggles

Altho I guess "Clinton lacks the emotion-driven raw hatred that taps into human beings' worst nature which her opponent has in spades" is a less snappy headline. /bitter
