I think our point is that, with the current way America is, Hillary is good. Martin Luther King was good despite not believing in equality for women. Ghandi was good despite being racist. The list goes on, the point is that your idea of "good" cannot exist within the current system. I get that it's cynical, but you're expectations for what qualifies as "good" is just out of reach. So many people wanted Bernie since they thought he was actually good but he wouldn't have accomplished anything. That might make him a good person but it makes him a bad politician.
