In reply to the discussion: Until today, I could've voted for Hillary if she won the nomination. [View all]stillwaiting
(3,795 posts)But, I completely understand if people have a difficult time voting for Hillary in the G.E. after the campaign SHE has chosen to run during this primary.
It seems obvious that a huge part of her campaign has been to make Bernie SUPPORTERS appear toxic, racist, sexist, and as far-left loons. She, her family, and her surrogates in the media have done this throughout the campaign. Many times. Anytime she attacks Bernie on the issues she loses support and Bernie gains support because she sounds like a Republican whenever she does it. So, she decided to make the Bernie Supporters brand toxic. That's going to hurt her in the G.E. if she's the nominee.
I don't know how anyone could not understand that if you openly dismiss and ridicule a group of people then getting that same group of people to vote for you might just be a tad bit difficult. She's made this very personal, and it's a tragic mistake.
