She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

I don't have a way to quantify the "kind" of hatred aimed at Al Gore, but I can tell you there are certain segments of the US that would have gladly executed him around 2000.

I don't consider the type of criticism I used to see regarding Hillary Clinton as very different from the criticism I see of Biden. Both are accused of being corrupt. Both are accused of having dementia. Both of them are implicated in "New World Order" type conspiracies.

So your take is really that "women politicians get the same kind and volume of criticism as male politicians?" I would love to live in your America.
