(5,390 posts)of those bogus claims lately and from posters I used to respect. This Op was in response to some hateful claims, yes it came from a man but the message is still the same. Many women did respond to the poster who was the most vocal in calling Sanders a sexist and we were met with hatred and dismissal. To have someone of my own gender treat me as a lesser than, is far worse then if it came from a man. I'm tired of being called not a real Dem, a bagger or libertarian, not very unifying.
I know that Clinton supporters want this to be over now but it is not.
I support Sanders staying in until the convention because I and almost half of the party want a voice in our party platform.
Sanders has made a difference in the direction of our party and in my opinion that is a good thing.
It has forced Clinton to change a few of her views on things like the tpp, fracking and income inequality.
We would like to make sure that our party knows that we don't want to go back to business as usual.
