This is a very accurate critique. Even though I voted Obama, I now wish that Clinton would have won the previous election, because (although we wouldn't have my man, Sanders running) Obama would be available to run during this election and I think he would have made a much greater difference running AFTER Hillary, instead of before. Clinton was already pretty close to being a burnt out shill in the previous election, and now she perfectly embodies that, but I think she essentially would have done the same things in office that Obama did do during this administration, and then Obama would have the chance to come in and be a liberal superhero and champion a lot of the things that Sanders has latched onto.

But that's alternate history.
