Heh . I wouldn ' t have minded I ' m a white guy originally from the South , FYI . Honestly , her main appeal to me was her policy . I thought it was fantastically detailed . It would have addressed almost all of the actual manifestations of inequality in our society . In particular , it would have eased the burden on working families in a way that no other politician has even contemplated and when you create stability for a child , you do a hell of a lot to interrupt the intergenerational cycle of poverty . It would have , over the course of a generation , done a huge amount to reduce inequality . It also would ' ve done a lot to free up people to participate more fully in society . It lacked the big , romantic themes of someone like Sanders , but it was far , far more potent in how it would have been executed . We passed up the opportunity to have the most capable , policy oriented president in history . '
