49. If Hillary won things would be so much better right now
Tue Jan 6, 2026, 01:14 AM
Jan 6

Seeing Stein's name makes me feel sad and angry because she ultimately helped Trump win.

Imagine: we would never have had the extreme far-right supreme court.

COVID-19 deaths would have been way less with less economic fallout. We would have had less inflation. Less national debt. Ukraine may have never been invaded. China would have been better contained.

We would have had more affordable education, cost of living would be better, better wages for ordinary people.

People would I really believe be so much happier because we didn't all spend 10+ years of our lives worrying. The odd thing I sometimes talk about how I was a Trump supporter during his first term (I deeply regret this) but actually my life at the time wasn't so good. I felt stressed and unhappy a lot then and even if I didn't know it at the time I think I would have felt better if Hillary were president despite my views. But maybe I never would have ended up the way I am now so I guess sadly only for my personal benefit I'm glad I'm here but for everyone else I'm deeply sorry.
