"If I recall correctly, four years ago you said you hated Hillary Clinton and everything she stood for. Trump won and appointed three more young compliant conservative culture warriors to the SCOTUS that have since upended women’s lives, among other things. Don’t like Biden? Vote for whoever you want."
I'm not fond of Hillary, but I doubt I ever said I hated her. I've said a billion times she was a terrible candidate, and she was. After Trumps first term, I would still say Hillary could have done as much I wouldn't have liked as Trump did. I didn't prefer her.
Again, I don't like abortion, so it doesn't upset me like it does many. "Upended women's lives". Some women's lives. Many women are against abortion, and approximately half the "fetuses" would have been women. It's an attack on abortion, not on women. That said, I'm pretty sure the Scotus approach to the issue isn't the best.
edit: I will add that ignoring the problems we have right now don't help. Housing is an amazing mess. One cannot overstate the magnitude of the problem. Things cost a lot more than they did. Perhaps some peoples' income increased enough to offset that extra cost, but I am reasonably sure a large chunk of the US is not complaining about nothing. I know my income didn't come close to increasing proportionally, despite what numbers say (there are good reasons the numbers don't accurately describe what's happening).
