I love Hillary. Always have since she first became a public figure as the non-cookie-baking wife of a politician who was smart and charming, but not nearly as smart as his wife. I loved and defended her when she designed a universal healthcare program which should have been promoted and signed into law way back then. I loved her when she gracefully conceded to Barack Obama in the 2008 primary and then generously supported him in the general election. I loved and admired her when she fucking DEMOLISHED that vile, bigoted know-nothing blowhard in all three 2016 debates and never got the credit she should have. I loved her and commiserated when she WON the election against the sociopathic bloviator by a huge margin but was defeated by a completely outmoded electoral system designed for 13 rural colonies. I will continue to love her as long as I live. I will like and support Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters and all the smart, brave women who stand up and fight despite being knocked down again and again by misogyny and sexism. But it’s Hillary I love. Thank you for writing about her with so much honesty and affection.
