What it means for a Millennial to be "In Her Corner" by Trevor LaFauci |

[Walk away]

".......I've found that having an opinion contrary to your peers can make you a literal target for those who disagree with you. I've ended up on a "hit-list" of Hillary Clinton supporters courtesy of an anonymous Bernie Sanders supporter. I've ended up having my professional information shared thanks to Markos Moulitsis' inability to control the rabid Bernie Sanders supporters who have infested his Daily Kos website. I've found multiple new friends on Twitter who feel that I'm either a paid Hillary shill, a paid David Brock shill, a Hillary troll, a Hillary bot, a piece of feces engaged in coitus, or something in between. I've learned to ignore phone calls and text messages from numbers I don't recognize. I've seen my progressive peers harassed at their places of employment. I've seen progressive heroes like John Lewis, Dolores Huerta, Planned Parenthood, The Human Rights Campaign, Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank, and Elizabeth Warren attacked for their views. I often fall asleep at night contemplating if these things are even worth fighting for and I've only been at this for five months.

Hillary Clinton has had to endure all this for twenty-five years.

That, that, right there is why I will continue to fight for this woman. Because for twenty-five years she's endured these kind of attacks on herself, her family, her friends, and her own progressive heroes. Republicans and Bernie Sanders aren't saying anything that hasn't said before. It literally took Donald Trump ten seconds to come up with the "Crooked Hillary" monicker. That's the idea that Republicans began planting in 1992 and our media and Bernie Sanders and his supporters have bought it hook, line, and sinker. Today, Clinton has to fight a three-front war: her Democratic opponent, her Republican opponent, and the mainstream media. Yet despite all that, here she is, just over a week away from officially becoming the first female presidential nominee of a major political party in our nation's history. To quote Joe Biden, "That's a big f'ing deal!"......."

1. While I'm sure my friends wouldn't turn on me if I came out and said I was for Hillary

Though there's one who really dislikes her (largely because she's been influenced by conservative views and when I was supporting Bernie I was using Bernie's perceived purity as a wedge to slowly change her thinking), stuff like this combined with the fact that I was SO VOCAL for Bernie before makes it really uncomfortable to say "Hey I voted for Hillary and here's why".

9. I too supported Bernie earlier and just mailed my ballot in CA for Hillary this past week.

I look forward to casting another for her in November.

10. It's really amazing how I went from "begrudgingly" for Hillary after being let down by the Bern

to slowly warming up to her, to actually really excited to have her as my Madame President for 8 years. What I was hoping for from Bernie I now see in Hillary, except that my expectations are more managed. We have Republicans to defeat after all.

Also you guys are really really nice. You know, my last post in the Bernie group was about one of my friends who was in tough times, so tough she literally attempted suicide by drinking nail polish. I thought I would find empathy there. I was wrong. They just threw some campaign sites at me and didn't bother. Ironically she wholly believes that Hillary is corrupt and doesn't care about people like her, and while I'm not gonna try to convince her (yet), I think the movement that's building with Hillary will be the start of something that can reach out to her and many others like her.

11. OMG I hope your friend is okay and getting pro help. Depression is a real problem

and struggle for so many.
It's good she has a friend like you who will help and be there for her through this.
Elections are elections but the life of a friend is priceless.

[forjusticethunders]

13. She's better now but the thing is

The stuff that led to this point is definitely political; up until then she was overwhelmed because she was barely getting by; she and her wife (who is trans btw) were on disability but they had that CUT, not to mention they couldn't afford to get Obamacare from the exchanges because they live in Texas and Perry blocked Medicaid expansion (they'd qualify for sure). Add the fact the shitty job situation and the need to pay for schooling and there you go.

To me, the right wing damn near killed my friend, and god knows how many other people haven't made it. That's the big picture I see politics in.

14. So many people like your friend's lives are literally at stake this election.

We must win and defeat Trump

2. you have our support here for sure

zealots are zealots for a reason...and its no excuse to be evil, say evil, do evil....if you can't win on merit than there is something wrong with your own outlook and take on things

3. Just read! Great read! with lots of links to debunking all kinds of stuff that came up

4. If you get a chance, stop by TPV and thank Trevor....

He is such a wonderful person and a great Hillary supporter. He deserves all of the encouragement possible

[Her Sister]

6. Walk Away I don't have any way to do that! I am pretty private so I don't have accounts like twitte

twitter and so on! I just got myself an account to be here in DU! Because saw what was happening in the primary and thought HRC and HER supporters needed to know they were right even if the world was completely TROLLING them! The trolls were wrong! and WE ARE NOT ALONE! (haha!)

I keep debating myself if I should un-privatize myself! lol! Because I'd love to communicate with TPV, Al Giordano's twitter, Daily News Bin, Blue Nation Review, and Go Blindly! I do have an old-account in Salon.com from long ago so go there and chip in once in a while!

Loving everyone keeping the love and respect for our candidate!!! I read them but not communicate back! Please if you don't mind , tell them they have helped many! and we appreciate them so much, cannot express! They keep us informed, strong and sane!

PS: If you want, you can quote me there!

7. If you have a Discus account you can already go there. If not, I will quote you...

and thank him.

5. HRC is the solution for the infestation. K&R

8. Most of my friends support Hillary too

Particularly the wonky ones who have been politically involved for some time. But in my political science classes, nearly every single Sanders supporter was a VERY vocal Sanders supporter. I knew a few other Clinton supporters in the class and we were quieter because we didn't want to spend the next 45 minutes being attacked by 19-year-olds who peppered most conversations with random "Feel the Bern"s. It just wasn't worth it.

But we Clinton millennials exist. We just don't want to be harassed.

12. It isn't just those millennials that support Hillary, but also a lot of other Hillary

supporters. They don't feel the need to be in someone's face declaring their support for Hillary.

Those that feel that need tend to have a lot of insecurities in my experience
