A review of 'Hillary'

 

For a long time, I was a huge fan of Hillary Clinton and thought how great it would be to see a woman as President of the US. But then Bernie provided contrast on challenging corporate greed & politicians being too close to the corporations. The same can be said of Obama as Clinton that despite their amazing social advances & achievements, the poor got poorer & the corporations wealthier during the Obama era. And when Hillary would get paid 200K for a speech at a corporation gathering, people understandably got concerned about her allegiances. Mud sticks. And as the documentary explains, HC has been a bit too cocky at times, in her own mind not corrupted, but failing to grasp how her actions are perceived by normal Americans. And the US is so full of extremist conspiracy theories that have taken a huge section of voters & turned them into idiots... who voted for Trump... a man who claimed and paraded himself as the normal guy. And he got the votes based on this image of being down to earth when the truth is, he is dishonest & corrupt to the core. It’s a real shame, and when you watch this documentary, you see what a great Pres Hillary could have been. And yet her plan to deal with poverty & the wealth disparity was not clear enough. Many Americans struggling saw her as not facing the challenges or offering solutions. Trump promised miracles & has hoodwinked the simple folks while his tax cuts aid the rich but are marketed at helping the normal guy. He is far more cunning & crafty. The snake oil salesman. Her unflinching loyalty to Israel rather than 2 state solution makes her as limited as Trump, but this seems to be the corruption of US political hierarchy to be aiding the terrorists they claim to be at war with like The Saudis & Bin Ladens. (See Fahrenheit 911 or explore Syria regimes opponent’s links to terrorism) You also get a real sense of how sexist the US still remains. The hatred that has been against Hillary all along, has very much been about a woman who did not know her place. A hatred from conservative cultured men & women. Hillary has done a lot of good. And then there are all the conspiracies that confuse. And then there is her inability to market & connect with all kinds of people- that has been one of her fails, but maybe that would have been the same for any woman trying to push to a new place. Prejudice remains strong. Look at the role Melania plays! There is much to learn from this series.
