If Hillary stays quiet, people hate her.
If Hillary speaks up, people hate her.
If she's, uh, "too prepared", people hate her.
Too experienced? Hate.
She breathes? Hate.
Revealed to be carbon-based organism? Hate.

Hear me out: maybe--MAYBE--it has nothing to do with her.
Meanwhile:

We don't poll John Kerry.
We don't poll Al Gore.
We don't poll Michael Dukakis.
We don't poll Walter Mondale.

And you know why? Because they never became president. They have no presidential legacy worth assessing as a barometer of public sentiment.
But we still poll Hillary Clinton's approval rating.
We still hold her personally responsible for the actions of awful men.
We still judge her for speaking out or not speaking out or whatever arbitrary metric we think up.

WE TREAT HER LIKE SHE'S THE PRESIDENT.
Hillary Clinton is held responsible for a job she doesn't have, things she's never done, opinions she's never given, and a national climate she has not created while the mediocre male she beat by 3 million votes is given a pass for bragging about sexually assaulting women.
The awful excuse for a human being who sits in the Oval Office is praised if he remembers to breathe while eating so as to avoid suffocation. If he manages to make it through breakfast without saying a racial epithet, he's deemed "presidential".

Y'all... how is any of this okay?
