74. I Don't Care What Obama Supporters Think of Clinton Supporters, Or Anyone Else, For That Matter
With the people who really decide who the nominee will be, Obama was selected before the first vote was cast by the rank and file, as surely as Bush was selected by SCOTUS.

I and others watched the party and the press behave as if no other candidates were in the race but Clinton and Obama, while John Edwards nearly won the Iowa caucus.

I and others have had to view the systemic campaign to propagandize female voters into thinking it would be wrong! Wrong! to vote for Hillary Clinton on the basis of gender, while the entire Democratic electorate was encouraged to vote for Obama on the basis of his skin color.

As someone who chose - with my head - to back Clinton after my preferred candidates were forced out, I have absolutely zero concern with the opinion of Obama backers -

Don't berate me with exclamations about how he hasn't reached 2024 delegates yet

- Backers who make it so fucking obvious that you don't give a shit about even maintaining the illusion of a democratic process this cycle.
