(718 posts)40. Me too.
I'm a very private person and only decided to start coming on and putting my voice out here online a little bit because the bigotry, lies, censorship, innuendo, and nastiness were just too much. I would watch what she actually said and did then I would watch it be warped through the most bizarre filters. It's really galvanized me to support her to be honest. It was also seeing what the berniebro mobs were doing and Sanders never really cracked down on them. I felt it was wrong to stay silent in light of what I was seeing, but this doesn't come naturally. It's more in my nature to stand back and observe.
