I agree she's a suboptimal candidate. However I am more hopeful for her chances over anyone else's at beating Trump into the ground, and I am willing to see how she's changed since her days as a prosecutor.

The general public 15 years ago had a very different attitude towards cracking down on crime, including nonviolent crimes, than they do today. I'm willing to see how well she responds to the will of the people, as she seems to have done in the past.

At the very least, she's under retirement age and not actively rooting for fascism so it's an improvement over the old guy and the orange fascist rapist sexist old guy.

The general public's attitude towards drug laws back then was formed from misleading anti-drug propaganda led by people like her. I'd rather have a defense attorney as a politician than a lifelong prosecutor. At least defense attorneys serve the people. But I digress. She's still the best option out of the whole two people we get to choose from.
