New meme that is pissing me off: If you are white, and you don't support a Hillary candidacy... [View all]

You are a racist.
You are also sexist.
You support back alley abortions
You are privileged
You don't care about Hispanics and Muslims
You are not a Democrat and never were
You hate Obama

Am i forgetting any?

I am white. My fiance is white. I don't support Hillary Clinton, nor do I support Donald Trump. I think they are both terrible candidates. That's my right. That's my right as a white woman, who lives at the poverty line despite having a degree.

I support single payer. I support paid family leave. I support the fight for $15. I support tuition free college.

Why does that make me privileged? Why am i a racist? Why am I sexist (even though I am a woman)? Why does that make me an enemy of Muslims and Hispanics?

Cut the shit Clinton supporters. You want people like me on your side. You want me pounding the pavement and making hundreds of calls like we just did here to win in RI. You want me on your side. So stop making me out to be your enemy.
