I voted for her and think that she showed a lot of growth during the campaign, being thrown into an untenable position and exceeding expectations even if she ultimately fell short. Skimming the full piece, I feel like she could use a better editor to help tell her story in a more gripping way. IMO the excerpt reminded me of the candidate that was unlikeable.
Perhaps I'm not the target audience but the the first few paragraphs seem like a convoluted way to tell bring up being in a black sorority and a history lesson, which feels like she is wrapping herself in the flag, except using afrocentrism instead of patriotism, with is only marginally better given how obvious it comes across. That's followed by a few paragraphs about how great she was as a VP, and that the White House didn't defend her enough.
It feels a little tone def tho because the White House was also underwater with the president at the time, so running interference for the VP, who is a glorified backup QB, seems beyond the pale.
