In reply to the discussion: Fellow Hillary supporters - PLEASE don't adopt the behaviors you criticized [View all]BainsBane
(57,751 posts)31. I supported Hillary in 2016
She is no longer running for office. I will not be defining myself according to the 2016 primary for time immemorial. Your post is flawed in that you assume that people who supported Clinton are as focused on her as those who define themselves according to Bernie Sanders. While people like and admire her, you don't see them calling themselves "Clintoncrats" or "Hillarycrats."
So, unless there is some FRESH NEW ATTACK that needs to be rebutted, please don't go out of your way to attack any Democratic ally.
1) There are fresh attacks every day. 2) I'm done with the bullshit attitude that I owe deference to someone just because they are rich and powerful. I don't give even half a fuck who someone supported in a long-ago settled primary. I care what they do and say NOW. That means I fully intend to exercise my right to free speech, and that includes responding to those who insult me, seek to undermine my equal rights, and reduce me and others who weren't born into the white middle to upper-middle class, or even millionaires, held as superior to the rest of humanity, precisely because of the tribal identity that is all some care about.
I don't know what prompted your attack, but I suggest you focus on your own speech rather than trying to censure the speech and minds of others. I will not be following your orders.

I'd request a replay of one of the largest conversations of 2017 as well were my bias telling me to.

Don't go out of your way to post something so offensive. Don't do that to yourself.
