2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Sanders supporters: Do you hate former Secretary Hillary Clinton? [View all]last1standing
(11,709 posts)31. I don't think she actively wants to harm me or my loved ones.
But I do believe that when the choice comes down to it, she will make an informed choice to further her interests at the expense of mine, even if my interests are dire needs and hers are merely the desire for the accumulation of more wealth and power.
As I stated in another thread, she had no problem coming out for marriage equality - as soon as it was absolutely safe to do so and not a moment sooner. I don't think she wants to hurt the LGBT community, but she wanted the presidency and it may never have occurred to her that real people were dying and losing everything they ever owned because of her lack of support.
Again, I don't hate her, I distrust her greatly.

I didn't intend flamebait. I hoped to demonstrate that most DUers don't hate her.

Hating is a right wing pile of shit. Disagreeing on policy is not hating.
