I know it is ingratiating for the haters, but many people supported HRC. I had to deal with idiots telling me to "STFU" about my support for her during the election, HRC supporters had to create secret fucking groups, no one profiled us, and I say this as someone who supported Sanders at first and got turned off of him.

So no, I do not want her to "Go away" . You deal with your issues and your obsession with personalities. Anyone who understands that the GOP and Trump are the real enemies here and speaks out against them should not "shut up". And anyone who takes issue with those pointing out the cravenness of Trump and his Thugs, are transparent as fuck.... even if they call themselves a "democrat".
