      Bruh, Goldwater opposed the Civil rights act, she gets absolutely no slack for supporting him. Hell, no US politician gets any slack and it's shocking to see so called leftists doing apologia for them.

        Bruh, Goldwater opposed the Civil rights act

        He had all sorts of shit policy. He was a nominee for President in the 1960s.

        US Politicians routinely get tons of slack. And the fixation on someone's political opinion at the age of 17 is fucking dumb.

            Hillary Clinton sucked for a lot of reasons. But being a Republican in the 1960s wasn’t one of them.

            How did you get from there

            why the fuck are you supporting Hilary Clinton, as if her views changed for the better

            To here?

          You, under no circumstances have to (or should) give a US politician any slack under any circumstances especially when it involves supporting a candidate opposed to the civil rights act. You gain nothing from "being fair" to american political ghouls, every single one of them should be considered morally irredeemable.

      Bruh Goldwater literally opposed the Civil Rights Act and created the "southern strategy" of cozying up to the Dixiecrats
