This is how you know you’ve fallen for propaganda. Almost every single time I ask about Hillary’s policy positions, the people who hate Hillary either spout some right wing conspiracy bs or they just talk about “vibes”.
(There’s the occasional leftist who actually knows what her policy positions are but 95% of the times it’s bs or vibes)

They did exactly what Putin & the GOP hoped they would do. Think about “vibes” instead of the 5 different ways she was going to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Where in my post did I say I hate Hilary? I said it was her vs Bernie for me and I preferred Bernie. Nowhere did I say I hated her. I remember looking at what they stood for and their history, and I preferred Bernie. I’m not going to comment on specific policy positions from 8 years ago. I dont remember that shit. Maybe you can in which case I’m jealous of your memory. But I do remember general feelings which is why I said what I did.
You are prolly right about if someone bases their opinion alone on feelings, then it’s likely heavily influenced by propaganda. But I did mention Bernies history and what he stood for. I didn’t specifically mention Hilarys though. But I did look at that stuff at the time. I just remember feelings better than specifics.
That being said, you also can’t judge someone alone based on their policies. They are politicians. There’s a decent chance they will lie and say what they think people want to hear with no intent to follow through. So you have to also look at their history. And I also like to look at how they speak. Do they feel genuine? Of course they could be amazing liars. But I think feelings/gut instinct do have a role to play. It’s just not as important as their history and policies. And for me, Bernie checked all 3 of those boxes better than Hilary did.

That’s fair, it was 8 years ago. But 8 years ago, few people cared about her policies either.
