Politically engaged and yet not paying attention? I guess ignoring all the plans she has talked about but the national media has ignored is her just talking about Trump.
The degree to which people insist Clinton doesn't have any plans and is just running as an anti-Trump is infuriatingly dense.
Her first major speech as a presidential candidate (in this current election cycle) was on race issues ffs.
The fact is most people simply don't pay attention to what candidates are running on and often project their own beliefs onto candidates they like. How many people assumed Obama wanted to end the Afghanistan war, legalize pot, supports single-payer etc just because he's "the cool one"?
Hell even now you'll see people (a lot of them on NeoGAF!) rail against Clinton for her initial support of TPP but then whine that we can't have a third term of Obama. Are there even any US politicians besides him who publicly support it?
The narrative flips on Clinton because her public persona isn't super personable or charming, so people instantly assume the worst of her "actual" positions. Who cares if she's been championing something for forty years, it's all a part of her nefarious plot to get elected and sell America out to big business. She'll do a complete reversal on every single issue she's running on either because it benefits corporations or just because it's evil like she is.
Tl;dr people are morons. I used to be a somewhat smug liberal who laughed at how dumb conservatives were except this primary season has completely jaded me on many on the left as well, and I say this as someone who voted for Bernie.
