11. Every candidate has some kind of baggage

Hillary Clinton busting through the highest glass ceiling to exist is a very big deal. Slightly more than half of our population is female. Patriarchy has kept women, children, families and communities oppressed for the entire history of the U.S. and most of the world. If you were to unravel the threads of patriarchy you would find they connect to everything.

Aside from the fact that there is no way Hillary Clinton can be "establishment", she is the most experienced and otherwise qualified candidate running for POTUS. The fact that she is a woman as well is a huge deal.
