(12 posts)I supported Bernie, but when he was out I voted for Hillary. But I didnt like it. And I understand those who were angry about being expected to vote for a candidate who they saw as part of a corrupt system. Hillary-supporters were not willing to make it easy join their team, and their bad behavior hurt Clinton by driving Bernie supporters away.
I voted for Hillary, but people like you made it very difficult. I endured crowing and taunting from pro-Hillary friends. I didnt un-friend a single Hillary supporter on Facebook, but I was ignored and Un-friended simply for objecting to continuing insults and slurs directed at Bernie supporters. I wasnt nasty, I only asked that the winners be gracious. They would not be.
Your candidate won the nomination. Once that happens it is ON YOU to be gracious. Those supporting the other candidate are understandably angry and hurt and disappointed. It is ON YOU to welcome them in, even coax them in.
And yet still I see topics like this, hating on current and potential Democratic voters to the left.
The Democratic Party lost the election. Hillary lost. Her supporters lost. The mood of the country was completely misread and the campaign was poorly run. Blaming those who did not vote for Clinton is laughable. The Democrats job was to convince those voters to support her. They failed. You failed. And, frankly, posts like this one just makes me wonder why I voted for Hillary myself because it reminds me of the nasty, divisive crap that went on among Democrats.
In short: You lost. She lost. Blaming others wont change that, and, in fact, makes it more likely that Democrats will lose again.
