In BMHBP2, we all know Lexa "betrayed" Clarke to save her people from the mountain. But was this really a betrayal and what would people think if it was Clarke that took the deal instead?

Let's start with Lexa. Her decision to save her people over Clarke's was a decision that any commander in her position would have made. Lexa is a leader and she has the duty to put her people before anyone INCLUDING herself. Personally I think the decision to save her people was a selfless one. Lexa genuinely cares for Clarke, so why would she purposefuly leave her at the mountain? She wouldn't, and if she wasn't a commander she would have done the same thing Lincoln did, she would have gone back to save Clarke and her people. But Lexa is a leader, and as a leader she needs to save her people.

The allience between the 12 clans may have also been at risk. Gounders hate politics so any allience is going to be weak and needs to be consistanly reinforced, if Lexa didn't take the deal and the other leaders found out that she sent their warriors to fight and save people who were not only not in the allience but also not grounders? They probably would have killed Lexa and then attacked the Sky People ruthlessly.

But enought about Lexa, what if Clarke was offered the deal. Before you type about how Clarke would never accept such a deal and leave Lexa...she would take the deal. Lexa is right when she says Clarke would have done the same. Clarke killed Finn for the allience AKA for her people. Clarke lied to Lexa to form the allience for her people. Clarke released Lincoln to the gounders for her people. Clarke has shown that she cares about her people as much as Lexa cares about hers. She would have taken the deal.

Would fans be angry at Clarke like they are angry at Lexa? I don't think so. Why? Because from what I've seen on social media, fans like to defend the Sky People while shaming the grounders. Grounders get more backlash then the sky people when it comes to what they do and why. Honestly if Clarke took the deal people would see in her what they don't see in Lexa, a leader who selflessly saved their people over saving someone who was important to them emotionally.

So comment and tell me, how would you react if it was Clarke who took the deal over Lexa?
