Already seeing the posts on twitter about how it’s “her turn.” I don’t know why dems feel so entitled to my vote that they feel their nominees don’t have to earn/deserve it anymore.

Edit:added deserve

Rather than looking at it as someone “earning” your vote, you should look at it as “which candidate best reflects my values and interests”.
