Jeri Ryan’s ex-husband, Jack Ryan, was not only a sex pest, but the Republican candidate for an Illinois US Senate seat back in 2004. Due to said sex pest shenanigans and the resulting scandal, he dropped out of the race, thus all but forfeiting the race to a relatively unknown Illinois state senator by the name of Barack Obama, who handily beat the replacement Republican candidate. This was the same year that Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, which put him on the party’s radar for 2008. If he hadn’t won that seat, Clinton probably would have had the Dem nomination in 2008.
Clinton vs. McCain would have been one hell of an election though. Just two different imperial officers calling each “gay” in increasingly obscure ways.
Oh god, it felt like Hillary becoming president was a part of some prophecy, and I’m kind of glad we avoided that prophecy. I am not happy that the cost of avoiding that prophecy was Donald fucking trump. 4 years of the personification of neoliberalism would have been preferable. I’m in the Supreme Court wouldn’t have been so fucked
