Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)I cannot believe the hatred for Hillary on these pages [View all]
The most recent is "accusing" her supporters that they support her because she is a woman.
Never mind the condescending, misogynistic tone of these posts. They have been on DU forever.
But they never had a problem with all Obama supporters, in 2008, who came out and clearly said they supported him because he was black.
I was amazed how many women, back in 2008, across the country, stood up and declared how they were not going to support her. I don't remember any African American saying something similar. Perhaps Carson, or Cain, or Justice Thomas.
Jesse Jackson Jr. - still in jail? - specifically demanded that all the members of the Black Congressional caucus aligned themselves with the "brother." And when anyone tried to point this out, well, of course, they were racist.
And, of course, we have pro Hillary posts get alerted while pro Sanders posts stay put. Any post that put doubt in Sanders and cannot really be alerted - or, perhaps does but survives - just sinks.
I don't have problem with Sanders; his heart is in the right place. I just know that he does not have any chance of being elected in the general elections.
Sigh.
