16. I hate it when people say she was an "uninspiring" candidate

(or worse).

I was part of the 1/21/17 Women's March. (I got to shake her hand at the Million Mom March when she was running for the Senate!) I KNOW she inspired many, many MANY of us no matter how often we hear the backlash.

And I'm really sick of hearing one white man after another touted as the "one who could have won," or the "one for 2020."

Alabama. Virginia. Grassroots elections everywhere... She might not be president, but it doesn't look like the energy HRC inspired is going away anytime soon.
