It's the same way when one discusses feminist issues or other social justice issues.

The majority will come swooping in and derail, insult, berate.... So, in reality, I'm quite use to it.

But that's not a democratic principle. We are suppose to stick up for the little guy, not pound him into the ground.

Not that Hillary is not a force to be reckoned with, she is, but in the sense that Hillary supporters are in the minority here.
