All I See Is More Slime Being Thrown @ Hillary otohara Dec 2016 #91

She deserves the blame for the loss... Begabig Dec 2016 #95

The toxic element of the Sanders wing deserves much of the blame, lapucelle Dec 2016 #127

Bernie folks voted for her in huge numbers, more than she would have had if he had not run. Dustlawyer Dec 2016 #142

I'm not disputing the hard work that many Sanders supporters engaged in lapucelle Dec 2016 #144

Openly gendered terms like..."I'm With Her"? MadDAsHell Dec 2016 #17

Way to tap into rightwing talking points! Nicely played. Buzz Clik Dec 2016 #23

My bad, you're right. Our physical characteristics ARE what defines us. nt MadDAsHell Dec 2016 #25

Pretty poor form to assume people voted for her because she has a vagina... JHan Dec 2016 #30

This is completely false mcar Dec 2016 #26

Talk about whining... MelissaB Dec 2016 #32

Link to where I said she lost because she's a woman or stop replying. BobbyDrake Dec 2016 #33

Project much? MelissaB Dec 2016 #41

You're the one not acknowleding what you won't see, not me. BobbyDrake Dec 2016 #50

Fail again, but keep trying. MelissaB Dec 2016 #59

Well, I think the people who let their side used sexist terms is what is offensive and divisive. BobbyDrake Dec 2016 #69

Insane. MelissaB Dec 2016 #77

Because that always works right? ismnotwasm Dec 2016 #86

Can't see what ya don't look at, I keep saying it... easier to blame than to try to understand. JudyM Dec 2016 #34

Some people here don't even try to understand. MelissaB Dec 2016 #49

Exactly right, Melissa. Apparently thinking like tRump: if you shout the same malarky over and over JudyM Dec 2016 #58

She came off as entitled and her negatives scientifically validated it BeyondGeography Dec 2016 #35

Tell us why her "corporate and Wall Street ties" BainsBane Dec 2016 #90

this is breathtaking- 'Why was it so horrible for Clinton to acquire wealth from speeches ' NRQ891 Dec 2016 #132

That was what she got paid for giving speeches. What is wrong with that? SunSeeker Dec 2016 #140

because many see it as a laundered bribe nt NRQ891 Dec 2016 #143

"Many" would be right wingers, like the poutrage over Benghazi and emails. nt SunSeeker Dec 2016 #148

I guess you're counting Bernie as one of those 'Right Wingers' NRQ891 Dec 2016 #149

Bernie is not a Dem. His bullshit personal attacks on Hillary were gleefully picked up by Trump. SunSeeker Dec 2016 #150

but you said the 'many' are 'right wingers, you didn't say 'not Dem' nt NRQ891 Dec 2016 #151

Yes, many are right wingers. That is an accurate statement. nt SunSeeker Dec 2016 #152

What was the quid pro quo? BainsBane Dec 2016 #154

I couldn't have said it better. duffyduff Dec 2016 #22

Pure supposition. Just because people dislike a candidate doesn't mean it's because of gender. JudyM Dec 2016 #36

It is fact. Sorry. n/t duffyduff Dec 2016 #64

There may have been legitimate concerns, and gender had nothing to do with it. Ardent feminists JudyM Dec 2016 #70

I would argue that "ardent" feminists ismnotwasm Dec 2016 #87

Gender is not automatically a factor in someone not voting for a woman. Particularly so if the voter JudyM Dec 2016 #93

No, but dismissing sexist barriers is not the hallmark of an ardent feminist either. ismnotwasm Dec 2016 #102

No dismisssal, in fact there has been widespread acknowledgement of that general state of things, JudyM Dec 2016 #106

and yet a whole bunch of women voted against her. Ligyron Dec 2016 #117

You really want Bernie's supporters to leave the party? Shemp Howard Dec 2016 #37

This post is addressed to the memes. FFS, reading comprehension much? BobbyDrake Dec 2016 #44

HRC left the GOP at 19, Elizabeth Warren waited until her 40s. Who's the progressive icon? BobbyDrake Dec 2016 #47

Oh so many example of hypocrisy--so little time. ismnotwasm Dec 2016 #54

The endless criticism of her clothes mcar Dec 2016 #125

So Sanders supporters can be labeled as "pathetic" and "sexist," but Clinton supporters can't be? nt MadDAsHell Dec 2016 #40

I think you've got that right. MelissaB Dec 2016 #48

That's not even a real arguement. It's nothing but a poorly-constructed straw man. BobbyDrake Dec 2016 #57

Who on the Sanders side said Hillary shouldn't run because she's a woman? liberalnarb Dec 2016 #107
