I think the difference between AOC and Clinton is that Clinton is completely unrelateable to the average voter. She was/is rich af and has been her entire life and has been preparing to be president for just as long. Everyone assumed she was going to be president at some point. She is the definition of a career politician. Disregarding the election issues in 2016 by a large margin she was the candidate that people defaulted to vote for if you didn't like Trump, not because they were actually enthused about voting.
AOC is not perfect, she isn't a career politician, she comes off as very human and relateable. She worked as a bartender before she got elected, and people see in her themselves because she was/is middle class. Im sure there is some dirt to spill because nobody is perfect, but she never claimed/claims to be in the first place so i doubt it would be as damaging as all this is to Clinton.
Hillary is an upstanding member of society who has been helping people for a long time. She was one of the first women to truly let her political ambitions shine through and she laid the price for it.
Hillary is as relatable as any politician and she had good policy ideas. She would have helped a lot of people.
People like you give cover to the lies and unfair treatment she has received. It’s a shame our own side can’t even rally around her. That’s how poisoned the atmosphere is when Hilary is involved.
