Fed up with [email scandal upon email scandal](http://time.com/4421844/fbi-dnc-email-hack-investigation/), [misogynistic GOP phrases](http://motto.time.com/4410564/republican-convention-anti-hillary-clinton-pins-sexist/) and those unending chants of “lock her up,” parody “Hillary Clinton” [took to Medium to vent](https://medium.com/@shitHRCcantsay/let-me-remind-you-fuckers-who-i-am-e6e8b297fe47#.ylfs3vjal). “Her” post, titled “Let Me Remind You F-ckers Who I Am” delves into Clinton’s political background to satirize the 2016 election.

“I’m Hillary goddamn Clinton. I’m a political prodigy, have been since I was 16,” the post states. It says that this election should be easy: “I have an insane network of powerful friends. I’m willing to spend the next eight years catching sh-t on all sides, all so I can fix this f-cking country for you. And all you little b-tches need to do is get off your asses _one goddamn day_ in November.”

While the article will probably make you laugh, it offers up a heavy dose of opinionating about serious issues, pointing out that Clinton has risen to the top despite being in a largely male field. Congress currently consists of mostly men, [with just 19.4% of senators and representatives being women](http://www.cawp.rutgers.edu/women-us-congress-2015). “Hillary Clinton” called the political system a place for “rich white dudes.”

While this article is clearly not the real Hillary Clinton, it echoes some of the real-life sentiment other leading Democrats feel for her. “Look, I know how hard this job can be. That’s why I know Hillary will be so good at it,” [Obama said when he endorsed Clinton](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/14/is-hillary-clinton-the-most-experienced-presidential-candidate-in-history/) earlier this year. “In fact, I don’t think that there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”

Michelle Obama made a similar remark in [her speech at the DNC](http://time.com/4421538/democratic-convention-michelle-obama-transcript/): “What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.”
