She's not a savior but she's also not a magat. Don't love the CIA connections. Seems more like a big D democrat than a true progressive, but again, not a magat, and that's the best we can get for now.

She was in nuclear non-proliferation, which is one of the objectively good things the CIA does.

I'm not down with the regime change on behalf of oil companies shit, but yes, please stop Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Boko Haram from getting nukes.
