In reply to the discussion: OK then. A Message to Hillary Supporters... [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)posters are just misogynists or Republicans. I personally support Bernie because it is very nice for once, this late in my life, to be able to cast a vote for a candidate for President who has never ever opposed my rights nor calmly explained that their religious views condemn my family. The fact that Hillary supporters are so angry about seeing people stand with a politician who has stood with them is creepy ass stuff. She was one of my favorites, then she spent 17 years ranting against marriage equality and that definitely lowered my affections for her.
If straight Democrats wanted to keep nominating 'formerly anti equality' candidates, the DNC should not have burned up so much good will with Obama, Rick Warren, Donnie McClurkin calling us vampires and child killers. The 'benefit of the doubt' card issued to Obama no longer exists. No one in this Party, not Obama, not DuBois, none of them apologized for the public denigration of LGBT at Democratic events.
So I'm voting for Bernie. Because Hillary opposed my rights for far too long. Bernie never did. I don't expect Hillary folks to understand that.
