113. As long as she stays gone, fine
"Screw this, I'm leaving" is a childish argument, especially for someone who is filthy rich and who can't relate to
what marginalized people have to go through.

I don't really care how liberal she is. Look at her passport: I'm willing to bet it has stamps from scores of different
countries that she can afford to visit any time it strikes her fancy. If her day-to-day existence is that fungible across
nations, then by definition she can't truly relate to people who stay here not because they HAVE to, or because they WANT to,
but because they can't possibly conceive of living anywhere else.

"I have faith in the American people." What an elitist sack of shit thing to say. I'm sure we'll all band together to
justify her confidence in the little people, so she can have a sumptuous life HERE instead of in Italy or Canada.
