Hillary's secret army of supporters

[ehrnst]

(I'm a member in the secret FB group that this article references)


"We’ve collectively rolled our eyes at the use of US Uncut as a source by Bernie supporters, and have even had some frank discussions about biased sources that support Hillary, and how and when it is appropriate to use them.
We’ve talked about feminism, trans and gay issues, foreign policy — including some honest and emotional discussions around Israel/Palestine — and we’ve gently corrected one another sometimes.

We’ve even started talking about getting together on a field trip to the inauguration, or maybe on a get-out-the-vote trip to a swing state for a weekend in October.

Our group started out as a place for supporting Hillary, but it’s turned into a lot more than that. It’s a caring, vibrant community of people who look out for one other online now, who give encouragement, and keep things in perspective. We have our go-to people for bringing calm to the room when panic sets in, and we’ve rushed into action to help give an undecided voter at the polls a nudge toward Hillary."

2. I understand why supporters created a Secret Group.

Facebook was a pretty toxic place, and enthusiasm for Clinton was discouraged.

That has changed, mostly, in my neck of Facebook's woods.

3. I've been off FB for over year because of it.. unreal.

I hope to go back after the convention and start posting Hillary news.. I always was political too with President Obama.

4. Once the Convention is over, it should be much better.

7. I'm going above ground once the convention is over.

Way too much squabbling on my FB page. The underground group has been a sanctuary.

8. Enthusiasm for Clinton wasn't "discouraged". It was viciously attacked to silence us.

And that for self-proclaimed Liberals who you would've thought would have done the exact opposite.

9. I know. I was using understatement.

5. I am one of those thrilled and enthusiastic HRC supporters!

Really resent that people tried to squelch our voice and enthusiasm. I think am still resentful about it.
But proud and ought to remember we won the primary and winning the general!
And we have an awesome nominee, and we prevailed. There I feel better!

To HRC supporters:
