With the exception of a few issues, the Clintons are somewhere between center right and far right. They’re only “liberal” in the econ101 sense and because the USA right wing is insanely batshit crazy far far far extreme right.

Explain then how people like me, who doesn’t watch short form videos, believes what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide.

Stop trying to insert yourself where no one wants you, Hillary. We’ve rejected you twice. Get over it.

The problem she's bringing up isn't the right problem (despite it being a valid one).

She's critiquing the general sources of younger people acquiring news from social media, and the frequent misinformation that's spread throughout.

However, she's not trying to point to good sources: like AP News, Reuters, NPR, The Hill, etc.. Nor is she trying to understand why younger people mistrust legacy media, thus moving to New Media.

She's also not pointing out what's fake versus what's real. I don't know what this specific speaking circumstance is but she's talking about a course of some kind. So my guess is that she's there to market for that course, and so she's gotta create that curiosity gap so people can become invested.
