In reply to the discussion: To the people who did not vote for HRC & still bragging about it. You are not an ally!. THREAD: [View all]Ninsianna
(1,349 posts)42. So do I and I've heard this.
I saw a lot of it DURING the GE where people were proudly bragging about not voting, cause they didn't get their way. During voter registration where they would just flap their hands and say, why vote anyway, it's all rigged!
The purity brigade was very much about this bragging. Where hand recounts were done, we SAW this in the people who wrote in invalid candidates and left the rest of the ballot blank.
The entire premise is factual. The denial of it is either "MADE UP" or done so out of ignorance, either willful or otherwise.

I don't care if I make them happy as hell & If that's so, then it is a defensive/offens mechanism.

Same here - I have seen no one brag about it, but hundreds of OPs just like this one

Those who enabled Trump to win are worse than those who enabled Hitler to gain power.

If one was trying to divide Democrats, one might want to make up a story like this.

Sure it could include lots of things. By accusing people of lying with no basis is very much

I know a self-described left wing progressive who is still happy that Hillary lost.

I don't see the point in these negative posts. I voted for HRC and I assume everyone at DU did.

I supported Hillary from the start, was not happy to see she did not win. I do believe as Democrats
