(51,579 posts)Can't we just prefer one candidate over the other with no hate involved?

(10,044 posts)Change hate to "distrust," "suspect," "tired of," "dislike the baggage of," but "hate," NO
I wish her well. She has worked hard to what end I don't know.
I don't particularly want to see Bill as first lady...
cyberswede
(26,117 posts)I suspect most DUers don't hate her at all, but I thought I'd ask.

(154,021 posts)And quite divisive shit
cyberswede
(26,117 posts)nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)that is a promise.
The scabs from 2008 are now off and we nave new deep wounds.
That is the damage being done.
So with that. divisive flame bait.
cyberswede
(26,117 posts)You'll point to what?
I don't have any wounds from 2008, so I don't understand what you mean.
When DUers claim that other DUers hate Clinton, I think they're incorrect. I certainly don't hate her, and I assume most other people don't, either. So, I thought I'd find out.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)the divisions after the highly divisive campaign of 2008 never quite healed. Now those wounds are deeper.
I know that I have been called some lovely things, so with that I will call it. This is divisive shit and should stop. It is not going to stop, I do not expect it. But it will leave even deeper wounds.
And with that, have fun with your OP

nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)I was not the only one to see this as divisive.
Have fun
For the record, at this point I am starting to dislike a particular group HERE ON DU beyond just disliking them. And it has to do with the divisive shit they keep doing.

(26,117 posts)last1standing
(11,709 posts)She never stood up for marriage equality when we needed her. She isn't standing up for reigning in multi-national corporations, she isn't standing up against fracking or Keystone XL. She won't stand up against TPP or other trade agreements that cost jobs and limit our ability to regulate corporate abuses.
Hate has nothing to do with it.
cyberswede
(26,117 posts)I just don't think she gets what it's like for regular Americans - how the transfer of wealth & power to the 1% really hurts everyone.
last1standing
(11,709 posts)But I do believe that when the choice comes down to it, she will make an informed choice to further her interests at the expense of mine, even if my interests are dire needs and hers are merely the desire for the accumulation of more wealth and power.
As I stated in another thread, she had no problem coming out for marriage equality - as soon as it was absolutely safe to do so and not a moment sooner. I don't think she wants to hurt the LGBT community, but she wanted the presidency and it may never have occurred to her that real people were dying and losing everything they ever owned because of her lack of support.
Again, I don't hate her, I distrust her greatly.
Tierra_y_Libertad
(50,414 posts)To me she's just another ambitious, professional politician who is ready to do anything to WIN!!
Call me proactively indifferent.
GoneFishin
(5,217 posts)And I think the advisers who surround her are the same. Once the campaign is over her interest in helping the voters will move to the bottom of the list, or maybe fall completely off the list.
And as for liberal voters, the party will move their concerns into the column reserved for "retarded dirty hippies".
SamKnause
(13,996 posts)direction she wants to take this country.
I don't feel she represents the needs of the people.
I think she is more interested in pleasing Wall Street, CEO's, the MIC, and
corporations.
cyberswede
(26,117 posts)the status quo, and how radically things need to change. I don't blame her, most politicians don't get it.
Arugula Latte
(50,566 posts)She does make me cringe, though.
PeteSelman
(1,508 posts)I dislike her politics and I think she's only in it for personal gain but I don't hate her.
cyberswede
(26,117 posts)They are malevolent.

(11,709 posts)There may be something Freudian there.

Arugula Latte
(50,566 posts)Very interesting.

(17,196 posts)longer think she's best for us. No hate involved - just found a better candidate.

(5,402 posts)The pragmatic recognitionthat HRC has compromised herself beyond any hope of representing the people is something other than hate. It's a bit like recognizing when you can no longer trust a sibling because she is addicted to drugs or traveled too long down a path from which there is no return.
Hate? No. Profound sadness for her and her supporters and a commonsense commitment to support a true representative of the people? Definitely.
Bernie is one of the good guys.
tularetom
(23,664 posts)I sort of dislike her but more than anything else I pity her.
She isn't presidential material and from the sort of joyless way she conducts her campaign you can tell her heart isn't in it.
She just does not look comfortable with being a public person.
RufusTFirefly
(8,812 posts)I don't even hate Cheney or Putin. I try very, very hard not to hate anyone. Hate, when aimed at people, does absolutely nothing beneficial.
I do hate push polls, however.

(34,195 posts)Is this to entice Sanders supporters to say something bad about Hillary?

Do I hate Hillary. No I do not. I disagree with her on crucial matters that are important to me.
cyberswede
(26,117 posts)PatrickforO
(15,162 posts)that she has neocon/neolib tendencies. I intensely dislike her stance on TPP (she's a creator of it, along with other 'free traders').
But I don't hate Clinton the person. Not at all.

(45,806 posts)I am supporting Bernie because he supports almost al the changes I'd love to see made to our Country, but I also recognize that it's going to be a tough uphill battle for him to win the Dem nomination. If he doesn't win, I have no problem supporting Hillary and will do so with all the gusto I can possibly muster.
Laffy Kat
(16,555 posts)As a Democrat I will vote for the Demo. candidate. I prefer Bernie but am not inflexible. Also, terrified of what will happen to the country under another Repub. president.
HeiressofBickworth
(2,682 posts)I have a choice of who should be the Democratic Party nominee. Although I admire her accomplishments, I don't agree with some of her policy positions so I am supporting Sen. Sanders. If, however, she becomes the nominee, I will definitely vote for her in the general election. No hate involved at any level.
