Me and one of my best friends were talking about Hillary Clinton recently, which gave me a great idea for my latest Odyssey article: The top ten reasons why I miss Hillary Clinton. Prepare yourselves: This list is full of greatness, feminism, and deep analysis.
10. The Pantsuits
I stand by my claim that there is no one on this planet who can rock a pantsuit quite like Hillary Rodham Clinton:
Look at her in that red. And that lipstick? Please. She knows she's a badass.
You can honestly see her thinking "Who the hell is this man-baby I'm running against?" She's so done with Darrell Turnip, and honestly, aren't we all?
I miss the kind of "white power" that meant Hillary was looking ON POINT in her white pantsuit, and not that another Nazi's getting a high-powered cabinet position.
9. She Deserved to Win, Man
I can't believe how many times I find myself talking about this with my friends. How in the hell did the most qualified woman in the entire world end up losing to the least qualified man in the entire world? I'll tell y'all: Sexism. You can take all your email scandal and Benghazi crap out of my face, because Trump is pulling the exact same things right now, and yet all those Trump voters are curiously silent. Wonder why 🤔
8. Not Having to Fear Internment Camps!
Wow, wasn't that such a nice thing to not be worried about? Not having to worry that Hillary and her cabinet is gonna throw you and all your minority friends into an internment camp? With Chechnya throwing gay men in prison camps recently, that fear is legitimate here in the supposed land of the free and home of the brave. But hey, at least all the straight, white, Christian men are safe, right?
7. Alt-POTUS 45 Twitter Account
Literally, the only thing good that came out of Trunkell winning is this brilliant Twitter account.
6. Not Having to Worry About Chelsea Getting Access to Classified Intel
Remember how all the Trimp kids said they weren't gonna get any special favors with dear old Dad at the helm of the frickin country? Well, guess again folks. Ivanka, Ms. Complicit-in-Chief, now has access to classified info. Why? She has no credentials, no past government service—but then again, neither does her father, and he's the president, so who cares, right?
5. Not Having to Worry About An International Incident
Remember the days when Barack Obama was president and you could rest easy knowing we weren't going to embarrass ourselves as a country because our leader wasn't an idiot? Ah, good times. Throwback to when DT wouldn't even shake Angel Merkel's hand because he's scared and threatened by powerful women. You know who would've shaken her hand? Hillary goddamn Clinton.
4. Having a Powerful Woman Around
The power that shows little girls, young women, and adult women that you can, in fact, do whatever you put your mind to is innumerable. Let's never forget the words of HRC in her concession speech:
"And to all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams."
Why do my eyes sweat every time I read this?
3. Having Someone Who Isn't Too Emotional At the Helm
One of the number one reasons I've heard that a woman can't be president is because she would be too emotional. Well God, bless Dougie Trinket for showing America that it's men you should really be worried about being overly emotional. The same guy who has access to the nuclear codes can't even stand SNL making fun of him. You know what Hillary did after Kate McKinnon made fun of her on SNL? SHE HAD DINNER WITH HER AND LAUGHED ABOUT IT.
2. Not Feeling Like We're Gonna Get Into WWIII
You can say a lot about Hillary Clinton, but one thing that you can absolutely not say is that she would've thrown us into WWIII because her feelings were hurt. Can you say the same about the current Commander in Chief?
1. Having Someone Competent In Charge
The number one reason why I miss Hillary Clinton has to be this. When I think about the job she would've done as president, my eyes almost start sweating again. She knew the presidency inside and out. She would never have embarrassed the country, put Nazis in her cabinet, bombed Syria, then confused it with Iraq, while denying refugees access into the country.
But hey. Y'all wanted a straight-talking outsider who couldn't tell the difference between Syria and Iraq. And guess what? You got the stupidest, most corrupt, most unqualified president in the history of this country, all because you couldn't bear seeing a successful woman running the show.
