(40,656 posts)about Hillary hate ie, any opinion that doesn't support her, then his/her remarks about how HORRID Bernie supporters are. Sad.
I have SERIOUS reservations about Hillary and I WILL voice them. Linking disagreement about Hillary to disloyalty and even collusion with the right wing is a right wing tactic used to shut down dissent. Bernie is running and excelling because of people like Hillary. You may find this hard to believe but some of us are old enough to remember what dems stood for and most importantly FOUGHT for even if there was no hope of winning.
She voted for a war based on bullshit like the others with the intention of keeping her job, not because anything presented was true. Then she stood up in front of zillionaires when the country was dissolving and thousands were dying and said the war crime she enabled was a great business opportunity. That is not defensible. That actually was a character moment for her and what I learned sickened me. If that came out of Mitt Romney or Donald Trump's mouth there would be vociferous responses from this forum. That it came from her and many find nothing deeply disturbing about it is also a character moment for them.
I have policy issues with Clinton. I also have problems with Bill hanging with pedophiles when his wife is running for president. I have problems with their foundation and their pay for play business plan. My issues with her are substantive and if you want to gloss over them by calling me a republican enabler go ahead. That speaks for you, not me.
These threads want dissent to end. They want oppositional opinion to end. There's an easier way to do it. Put everyone that hurts your feelings on ignore. Eventually, the only people you will be able to read and speak with will be Hillary supporters. Problem solved.
I am an FDR DEMOCRAT. I am a LIBERAL. If you have a problem with that, examine your conscience.
