Even more so she is the epitome of pulled up by her bootstraps.

Exactly. She worked for a living while paying for her education, and once she was educated she advanced to bigger things. Somehow they want to frame that as a negative mark on her, when it should be the opposite. They can't celebrate someone working hard and doing it on her own because she plays for the opposite team.

To further emphasize your point, while in college, her dad died. She learned a lot about the (in)justice system going through probate. She also interned for Ted Kennedy. Once she graduated college, she most likely could have had an instantly “successful” career. Areas, she moved back home and became a waitress/bartender so she could help her mom who was struggling. As if that wasn’t enough, she also started working with and promoting her community.

Stop it. Ya'll are making me sad she won't be running with Harris.

I mean she’d probably make a great veep or pres, but I feel like where she’s at now she can do the most good. It’s not yet her time.
