She was hella elitist , I don ' t doubt that . Trump was too , I ' d say they were the same , although to his credit , he didn ' t try to marry and network his way to the presidency <| sep |> Like every other presidentbefore and after him . Actually , Hillary Clinton just ran a status quo campaign . She ran on Obama ' s record , and proposed a continuation of his administration . In fact , Obama ' s chief of staff was Clinton ' s campaign manager . Only morons still believe in what candidates say . Apparently there are a lot of those around Unfortunately , you can only vote on the basis of what politicians say , and there are no meaningful mechanism for holding politicians accountable to their campaign promises . The fact that the American system is an oligarchy does not make me a moron . Your pessimism is unhelpful .
