2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis Bernie supporter thinks criticizing Hillary for staying in her marriage is
flat out wrong. It's entirely her business and no one else's. It's not my place to even speculate on such a deeply personal issue. It always makes my stomach turn to see dems and liberals proclaiming she should have left him.

(70,204 posts)Seems like a waste of time debating something like that but I know why someone would engage in that.
Maybe that person has been through an infidelity situation and had strong convictions. It still doesn't make sense to give voice to that kind of thing but maybe it would help you understand.
Personally I think that a divorce would have dismantled a powerful and effective machine that continues to stomp all over progressive politics in the name of their corporate masters but what do I know?

also Bengazi and all the other RW talking points. As a Bernie supporter lets talk about the merits of our candidates not the BS.

That is something I could not understand. Why it is her fault and Hillary Clinton should be punished for choosing to stay married? That is her own private and very personal decision.

(20,166 posts)That's between Bill and Hillary.
It's none of our damn business and has no bearing on what I think of her as a candidate.

(12,165 posts)Everyone's relationship with their significant other - as long as it's working for both of them - is no one else's business.

(45,319 posts)and claimed that our lives were their business, it would make me the same as the people who made DOMA. I'd never want to be like those people.

(11,986 posts)...something about saying how accusers (like Cosby's) should be taken seriously rather than dismissed, though when people were accusing her husband of similar unproven allegations, those were to be dismissed rather than taken seriously. It's a glass houses and stones thing. Awkward. But not something that I think will affect voters' decisions. And I agree that however the Clintons handle their marriage internally is entirely their business.
