Hillary Clinton, the former presidential candidate and first lady, did not mince words about the upcoming presidential election on an appearance on "The Tonight Show staring Jimmy Fallon."

During Monday evening's episode, Fallon asked for Clinton's perspective on the contentious rematch brewing between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump on Nov. 5.

The former first lady, quipped "Let's stick with the Easter Bunny?"

However, Fallon pressed on, "I mean, it's Biden versus Trump. What do you say to voters who are upset that those are the two choices?"

"Get over yourself," Clinton said. "Those are the two choices. . . . It's kind of like, one is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart, and really cares about people. And one is old and has been charged with 91 felonies." While polling shows it will be another close election, coming down to mere percentage points, Clinton said, "I don't understand why this is even a hard choice."

"But we have to go through the election, and hopefully people will realize what's at stake," she said. "Because it's an existential question: What kind of country we're going to have, what kind of democracy we're going to have."

She elaborated that Trump and his allies are "pretty clear about what kind of country they want . . . Get out there and vote," she finished.

A friend of mine said Biden is scarier than Trump to him because of his elderlyness. I had no words.

I am pretty sure I saw it on here.

Voting is like a bus not a taxi. You aren't going to get to your exact destination. The goal is to get as close to your destination as you are able.

It really really really is not a hard choice at all. There's really barely even a choice. Trump is completely unfit to be president and you'd have to be like literally in a cult or share his bigotry to think otherwise.
