The backlash against posters who are concerned about the election

[Jarqui]

101. I started out as a Clinton supporter in early 2015

I'd been strongly behind Obama in 2008. Because she'd been a good SoS for Obama, I felt she deserved a fresh chance. And I gladly gave it to her. She earned it.

Then Bernie came along. I knew of him but didn't know tons about him. As I'm warming up to him, I muse aloud in a post here that Clinton's lead is so great, I don't think Bernie's got a chance. I was immediately banned without warning. It was bizarre. I was dumbfounded.

A key game changer for me on Hillary was her March 2015 press conference on the emails. (let's not re-debate that - my feelings on it are unchanged)

So I carry on supporting Bernie and he loses. I really liked Bernie and his honesty. I've been a lefty all my life. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm way too far left to consider any of the GOP candidates nor libertarian. Jill Stein doesn't do it for me. Maybe I'll sit this one out and I don't post for a while here.

Then it looks like Trump actually has a chance so I have to come back because that is intolerable. My dislike for Trump becomes a game changer.

I'm here more because I can't stand Trump more than I love Hillary and I'm a lifer as a lefty. I've been consistently honest about my positions and how I've evolved all along because they're what is in my heart.

I campaigned for Bobby Kennedy. I supported MLK when he was alive. I streaked against Nixon. Fought for gay rights in the early 70s. If that doesn't fit in here, that's too bad for whoever. I'm in no mood to apologize.

If the best someone has to say to me in a post is "you're a right winger", well, obviously, they're not just wrong, it's plain enough to me that they can't defend their position very well.
