will be hurt by this election, his appointments, his Executive Orders, and the GOP Congress that is giving him a blank check.

Gloating about having the most qualified and compassionate candidate lose to a RW, bigoted, corrupt, bully is an indication of a true sick soul.

Trump was the least qualified, and held to no standard at all

At first some I know personally were trying to sputter the "uh let's give him a channnce" .... but now it's more of a shamed admission (at least in private) that they fucked up, Trump isn't going to suddenly change and show us all some great new stuff.

And then of course there's the hardline idiots who are just doubling down on the whole fascist thing, 45 can do no wrong.

I am sure plenty of hillary haters are regretting it, maybe a lot just don't want to admit that she in fact isn't as evil as they thought...not compared to actual fascists. (b-but emails!)

who was as clueless about Stein as he was about Hillary - just that it was a protest vote.
It was at the Whole Foods where Hillary hate was all the rage among the employees.

They have to defend their position or lose face.

12. I think, as a Hillary supporter, that this is a silly question.

Most people here, at least, didn't try to keep her out of office once she was nominated.

So you're not going to get an actual answer from anyone who WAS so anti-Hillary about how they feel. Those are either on other sites than DU, or are the people who we need to convince must come together in 2018.

This kind of post doesn't help us have constructive debate -- blaming the people on DU who supported other primary candidates isn't going to create an atmosphere where we can all come together as progressives to defeat Trump's (or, probably more accurately, his puppeteers) agenda.

du but i was just wondering what their response to trump is and as one poster said they did talk to a stein voter .

this wasnt posted for any constructive debate i am way past the point of anger with those who should have known better i am ,at this moment, to the point where i say give them trump until they regret it. unfortunately that means more trump for me . it's a conundrum but i am almost blind with rage over what has happened and who helped bring it . i am not ready or able to talk about coming together . they.couldnt be bothered to come together when the supreme court was up for grabs so fuck them let them have trump. i was just curious if there were any signs of regret. sorry i cant help how i feel
