61. I don't know who the fuck you were listening to, she was NOT "focused on the Wall Street economy."

What a crock of right wing bullshit. She NEVER told any voter "you're wrong, the economy is great." Good God, what kind of hatred do you have for her to believe that? Holy shit.

She was the only one talking about programs that would actually help the working class and middle class. She spoke about expanding the ACA, bringing down the costs of housing and helping people buy their first home with $25k from the government to go toward their down payment. She talked about paid childcare and parental leave, and student loan forgiveness. Trump sure as fuck didn't talk about any of that!
