No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, or who you love,\u201d it continues.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton has recently gone to bat for President Biden, whose approval ratings continue to sink, concluding last month that Americans do not \u201cappreciate\u201d Biden\u2019s accomplishments in the country.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocracy is messy.
