"I gave the madman the machine gun, but I personally didn't pull the trigger."
No one doubted for one moment that Bush would invade Iraq.
And it's not like she tried to fix it up.
Can you show me a Hillary speech opposing the Iraq War? Or any war, ever? Or talking about defunding the military, reducing the military industrial complex?

Hillary Clinton's 1993 health program would have been great. I remember it well.
But we are talking about when she ran for President in 2016, when she made it very clear that single payer was not on the table. You are claiming it was the most leftist platform in history, but compared with other primary candidates, it was not.

"At the time, Republicans wanted to get a constitutional amendment past restricting marriage to be between a man and a woman. DOMA was a way of stopping this from happening and it passed the houses with a veto-proof majority."
Passing a law does not actually prevent a Constitutional Amendment. Amendments are not passed in the House and no veto is possible.
In an interview four years later, she said,
"Because I believe marriage means something different. Marriage is about a historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been between a man and a woman."

Before the 2016 election, I had few feelings about Hillary - another machine politico.
But she managed to actively appall me on two occasions.
First, she went to Nancy Reagan's funeral and talked about her work on AIDS.
Perhaps you are too young to remember the Reagans and how they prevented any response to AIDS for years, until one of their friends got it.
I remember this well, because it was when my parents died of AIDS.
And then Hillary touted her long and personal friendship with the war criminal Henry Kissinger, whose delusional beliefs led to the deaths of millions of innocent people in South East Asia.
(This was when I decided to leave the United States, by the way.)
Please remember that it was Kissinger who organized the bombing of Laos and Cambodia, two friendly countries that the US has never been at war with, under the Orwellian name of "Operation Freedom Deal". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Freedom_Deal
This killed between 50,000 and 150,000 completely innocent people in peaceful countries, and ended up serving no strategic or military purpose at all.
What sort of person goes on holiday with a war criminal? https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/02/hillary-clinton-kissinger-vacation-dominican-republic-de-la-renta/
A person who is morally bankrupt.
What compassionate human would laugh about a human, an evil human but still a human, being literally sodomized to death with a bayonet?

Finally, I have been polite with you every time, and each time you're gratuitously rude to me.
So fuck off, you pathetic empty little man, and grow a social conscience instead of parroting center-right-wing talking points and passing off shit as gourmet food.
America's a collapsing shithole, and while the psychopathic far-right-Republicans have a lot of the blame, the Democrats have gone along with them every step of the way, putting up only token resistance.
The DNC have completely screwed the pooch for two generations now, and a tiny number of very rich people have completely looted the US economy while the DNC smiled and encouraged them (as did the Republicans, even more).
And Democrats just sit and take it masochistically. "This is fine!" You're perfectly happy with "Not the Republicans" and nothing else, and that's all you get.
I will not be responding to you further.
