2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: But Bernie’s been consistent!!!! [View all]artislife
(9,497 posts)I still think Hillary is a worse candidate.
I still think Hillary supporters here used that shit with glee. They were only slightly smarter than the asshole racists on the Bernie side.
If we could look in their hearts...I think we would see a lot of the same feelings toward minorities.
I also remember 2008 when I was on the Tennessee guerrilla women site

The confluence, and half a dozen more that no longer have much of a voice.
It is nothing now, but it was hot and heavy during 2008. The White Boomer Feminists had lots to say about a Xer Half white/brown woman who was impressed with Obama. That shit was shit. I had one woman say that she was going to vote for every anti abortion bill there was to take it away from the ingrates who couldn't give them the woman president they deserved. There were others telling me that my experience as a person was not influenced by race at all and that I should be a good girl and follow the women. They used to say we already had a Black president because Toni Morrison declared that Bill was it.
Maybe that is what makes it next to impossible for me to blacken a circle on a ballot with her name on it.
I get the anger at the supporters. Hell, I probably read the posts here with those voices that were so angry and dismissive then. I am positive I do. Those supporters have probably ruined h for me. Well along with Super Tuesday and the dog whistles.
