Love Quote by Sandra Bernhard

Bernhard’s double “really, really” isn’t just emphasis; it’s performance. Coming from a comic actress whose persona has long flirted with provocation, the hyper-earnest gush reads as both genuine admiration and a knowing swipe at how rare it was, culturally, to voice uncomplicated enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton without immediately bracing for backlash. The sentence plays like a dare: what if we praise the most polarizing woman in American politics the way we’d praise a pop star?

“I think she’s very cool” is deliberately plain, almost adolescent diction, and that’s the point. Clinton has often been framed through technocratic competence or relentless scrutiny; Bernhard recasts her in the language of vibe. “Cool” dodges policy and plants Clinton in the terrain of celebrity and cultural capital, where likability is currency and women are punished for spending it wrong. It’s a small rebellion against the expectation that female power must be justified, not enjoyed.

Then comes the kicker: “She’s out there and she’s involved.” It sounds obvious, but it’s coded. “Out there” suggests visibility, stamina, the willingness to take hits in public. “Involved” implies work ethic and participation, a subtle contrast to armchair critics and to a media culture that prefers women as symbols rather than operators. Bernhard’s intent is endorsement, but the subtext is commentary: Clinton’s crime, in many narratives, is not what she believes, but that she insists on showing up and acting like she belongs. Bernhard treats that insistence as the cool part.
