There is a difference.
Try not to paint all of us with a sexist brush while you're smearing us. Thanks.

(8,133 posts)talk about politics. Many comments here sound very mysogynistic and vitriolic. It's been very eye-opening to me. How can these people be so emotional and "Hate" someone they don't know?

(6,282 posts)Nor did I say I hated Clinton. But I do think she would be close to my last choice of all Democrats we could have chosen from.

(20,176 posts)That's my foregone conclusion of a Hillary nomination.
I wish she'd do us all a favor and realize she doesn't want the nomination for the job.

Come down off the perch maybe just for a short while.

(47,803 posts)or take everything critical of Clinton as being "negative" and "insulting"

I do get fired up, I;ll admit, because I get passionate about this stuff.
(One night at a family gathering my bro and I had a political argument into the wee hours that got really loud. My mother came downstairs with this horrified look on her face like "Boys! Stop it! I'm worried about what you're going to do to each other." He and I just looked at each other and laughed.)

(37,573 posts)If not, do not expect people to give up until Hillary reaches the magic number.
And even then, they might still be trying to flip super-delegates, especially in states that Bernie won.
There was an editorial cartoon in my past. It showed Ted Kennedy as a boxer, with Carter having defeated him. And Kennedy says to himself "I know when I will get him - when he is talking to Cosell."
As I recall, Kennedy, even though he had lost, fought all the way to the convention.
Which certainly did NOT help in the fall election.
When Hillary does win, I hope her supporters can be magnanimous even as I know that is one hell of a lot to ask after the last few months.
We need all the help we can get, particularly as the M$M has returned to their Clinton-hating ways.

Margaret Thatcher was the UK's first female prime minister. She also wasn't a good person.

(20,453 posts)Bernie's not about to leave the campaign. We press on.
Maryland may be hard, my state of Pennsylvania will be a fight that I'm prepared for, and we have to keep on chugging EXACTLY as we've been doing all along. California, we are not leaving you behind. Why would we?
Some of the HRC supporters here are ready to have orgasms and wondering if Sanders supporters know what reality is, but they're just going to have to delay their satisfaction. I'm thinking as fucked up as most of their group seems to be, we'll keep getting this kind of shit from them.
Reality is that the Democratic party left the Democrats hungering for democracy, and Bernie Sanders is the first candidate in too long to return it.
If I had to support "the first woman president", I sure the hell would have a higher bar than Hillary Clinton. And, that's the truth.

(7,318 posts)The ONLY reason the statewide count is in Clinton's favor is because hundreds of thousands of Sanders supporters were barred from voting for him due to Party rules.
Her campaign will have to face the repercussions of such a yuge, yuge block of voters being frustrated by their desire to vote in the primary.
What a way for a candidate to have to win a state, by counting on their party to suppress the vote.
These are just facts. It's ok for Clinton supporters to acknowledge them instead of saying his supporters are whining by pointing them out. She will be facing those facts if she makes it to the GE. It will be interesting to see what that block of voters does.
