In reply to the discussion: Clinton's opposition to the TPP is insulting [View all]EndElectoral
(4,213 posts)Clinton has a history of supporting major trade agreements such as NAFTA and the TPP which haven't really translated down to helping American workers, which is why Unions such as the AFL-CIO have been so staunchly against such deals.
People who feel this is Hilary Hate generally do not want anything negative said about their candidate. I get it. They staunchly believe she would make a good president, but the constant refrain of the slogan Hillary Haters is the reaction of a person who simply doesn't want to engage in a discussion about a significant issue in the campaign and has resorted to a form of name calling.
If this is their defense against the OP-Ed then it might be better to post - "I don't care what she has done in the past. I believe her now, and if she has made mistakes, I believe she has owned up to them and has evolved on those issues." This at least is a genuine reflection of your belief how she'll contribute going forward, rather than blaming someone here for posting a legitimate concern about an issue she has a history with.
