30 YEARS!!
So glad this post began with but..but..but.. and Bernie, who clearly supports the Dem Party.

Why am I seeing so many Hate Hillary postings this morning?
On a Democratic supported board no less.
Its almost as though there are people seething to continue the message of 30 yrs past.

Why is it allowed here?
Isn't it just a little weird or do we keep allowing the 'elephant in the room'?

Just asking.
There's a creep factor about this morning's many Hate on Hillary postings on a Democratic Board.
The pleasure some show in doing so is evident, & I wonder where it comes from.

A democratic board should support Democrats, but that's not what I'm seeing here.

Where do I go for clarification as to why this is allowed?
