Earlier today, we told you about a hashtag movement that was more like a crawl. Voters trended #GirlIGuessImWithHer after realizing that with Hillary Clinton as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the presidency, a November ballot was going to feature only her or Donald Trump.

I reached out to the Clinton campaign to see how they wanted to respond to the reluctance of the users who got that tag trending. Of course, when I reached out, the now-infamous “Delete your account.” tweet went out, signaling that the Clinton campaign’s social media team is using her presumptive nomination to really play ball. That alone could have been a response to the online backlash in and of itself, but spokesperson Zerlina Maxwell wrote back anyway. Here’s what she said:

We know we need to work hard for every vote, but today we’re incredibly hopeful. People are going to see her continuing to speak out on the progressive issues they care about, and President Obama is a pretty solid co-sign. This isn’t going to be an instantaneous process, but the contrast with Donald Trump is too great to keep progressives from uniting around the agenda we all share.

As more and more Republicans move to distance themselves from Trump, the Clinton campaign is probably onto something with this whole unity thing.

2. Complete bullshit...it's only electioneering

Hillary won't do anything meaningful
to improve the lives of working class people.

4. Lol, there's a name I haven't seen for awhile

16,000,000 voters disagree with this assessment.

It's time to support the Democratic nominee here, or explore one's alternatives.

3. All Republicans aren't racists or crazy. Some really are good people with different beliefs.

But their leadership is completely insane - and racists. When they admit that what Trump says is racist, but still back him, they are just as racist as he is.

5. I think moderate repubs are either going to vote for Hillary or...

simply stay home. They are the sane ones.
