A conversation which often comes to mind: when a hard-left friend said, prior to 2016, that they hoped Trump would win because it would “stick it to the elites".

Never forget, it was the cheap Bernie Sanders Left who handed T the keys to the White House in 2016. As it was Bernie Sanders who stated that there is no difference between T and Hillary Cllinton, both being oligarchs and all. Tell this the women in rural America who lost gynaecological care thereof because Planned Parenthood had to shut down in various counties.

@simsa03 @ianb In 2016 I voted for Sanders in the primary (does that make me cheap?), and Clinton in the general. I remember several women, members of Drinking Liberally, not Bernie "Bros" at all (more Center Left than not), who had a vicious animus against Clinton. Just hated her. I never was able to get clear why.

No, it doesn't. But I have a specific type of Sanders acolyte in mind:

With regard to the Clinton hate: She looked smug during the Benghazi hearings. It drove women furious, even here in Europe (a friend of mine hates her till today).

In fact I would even go that far to claim that women hatetd Hillary Clinton primarily because of the tone of her laughter.
