General Discussion
Showing Original Post only (View all)As far as I can tell, almost everyone I know supports Bernie and Elizabeth [View all]
there are some exceptions, staunch Republicans and so forth.
But here is my SWEEPING GENERALIZATION about ALL of these Bernie supporters and Elizabeth Warren admirers-
EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM supports women's rights and the fundmental reproductive freedom concerns inherent to that.
And so many are LGBTQ that I dont think for a second that any are fooled by the windblown conversion
of a regular participant in the circle known as the Fellowship(*)
marriage rights may have faced considerable opposition over the last few decades, but that should not have stopped
anyone of conscience from supporting them.
Dont ask dont tell, DOMA (**), pandering to religious bigotry? (***)
To see these issues cited as reasons LONG time supporters back HRC,
or as deflections for valid criticism from Democratic voters?
how hollow that rings.
anyone who proclaims that another poster is indifferent to the lives
and well being of women here, or around the world
because they oppose HRC's actual policies and historical record?
should be much more than ashamed.
That is some serious dirt to play in.
a corrolary to hate speech, really, and every bit disingenuous.
shame on them.
