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