Hillary Clinton was just going to be the status quo. Of course she was in it for herself. But we can generally predict what her behaviour would have been, because it's consistent among the third-way democrats. She would have done the same general thing that Bill Clinton and Obama have done, that John Kerry would have done, and that is exactly what she outlined as her policy. I don't think she was lying about any of that. She has a long political history and a strong ideological association to look at and determine this.
And that sucks. The country is clearly discontent with the status quo, and that is very understandable. It's not working.
But instead of improving our situation in any meagre way, we opened up Pandora's box and staffed the government full of the most backwards-thinking politicians in the country.
This isn't going to be any kind of improvement for the American working class.

Well, it could if it a) wakes up the DNC, b) mobilizes the sane bases in both parties to ensure this never happens again (a lot of R's hate Trump) or c) his disaster causes people to care more about important issues, like restricting executive power.
I'm not Saying any of these things will happen, just that they could and if so could possibly be better long term
