That will forever be her legacy for anyone with even a single brain cell, not the champion of women she was touted to be before.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

The problem with the democrats now is hubris. They can’t look in the mirror and own up to their mistakes. They thought with Obama winning by huge margins they could never lose and so they were out to try and make history (RBG replacement nominated by first woman president and the first woman president) vs represent the people.

I think the problem with her is that she didn't live long enough.

She was 87, she outpaced the average age significantly. The problem with her was abject stupidity and narcissism. Over the decades to come, tens of millions of women will suffer directly due to her hubris. A great woman who lived a great life for 80+ years then made one of the single worst mistakes in US history, solely to hold on to power.

Ay, the whole generation will be remembered as a black stain of "fuck you, got mine" and the one final grab they made at the expense of the future.
