Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: I can't tolerate the bashing of Hillary here [View all]Erin_Petrovna
(13 posts)18. Very disappointed. Saw it on the FB page too
When DU was hacked on Election Night, I thought I could commiserate with my fellow Dems on the DU Facebook page. I was startled to see so much hate for Hillary and smug "Toldja it shoulda been Bernie" comments. I support the site because it is really the only game in town. But I refuse to be herded into a "safe space." Hillary stepped aside when President Obama won the 2008 primary. Her supporters then came into the fold. I'm tired of fans of Sen. Sanders telling me not to blame them for the ascension of Trump because "they wanted Bernie." Well, he needed to win the primary for that to happen. He didn't. They're rubbing our noses in this hideous loss and I'm not going to stand for it.

I just juried an out of rules post. Don't know if it was removed, but definitely against the rules.

no, that is a false narrative. Propaganda is a very powerful tool, and the media used it

Bash back. Don't let the vulture pick at the party in an attempt to increase their profile.
