(57,762 posts)I hope you mean you are a Clinton supporter now.
And yes, the vast majority, but not all, are men. Sadly, I've learned that misogyny is not the sole province of men.
Voting for Trump--or a third party candidate--requires a decision that one prefer to have court take a conservative, anti-equality, tact for the foreseeable future. It requires deciding that it's preferable to see Social Security cut than have Clinton as president. It also means a decision that none of the policies Bernie campaigned on matter because Clinton supports the overwhelming majority of them and has since the beginning of the primary (the differences were largely in terms of degree or details rather than overall goals). Whereas Trump opposes everything Sanders ran on.
Even his supposed opposition to TPP is because he sees it has regulating business too much. He wants to tear down existing regulations. He made that clear in his convention speech.
Honestly, I have more respect for the ones who are honest about being conservative. It's the ones claiming to be "progressive" who embrace Trump and his ultra-reactionary, racist, and misogynist positions that I find especially despicable.
