In reply to the discussion: Most Powerful Endorsement Yet-Travon Martin's mother endorses Clinton for president [View all]MellowDem
(5,018 posts)More like a show of disgust that this is who the leader of the Democratic Party is, and who I will have to rely on to implement any changes I want to see. When I say I will be sick voting for Clinton, I don't mean to take a swipe at those who would feel happy to, I'm just expressing how disgusted I feel with the candidate myself.
I may disagree with those who think Clinton is the best choice, or on how "disgusted" or not I should feel supporting her, but the feeling of disgust comes from her being a corporate warmongering race baiter, rather than her supporters or endorsers. The political reality is such that I don't hold that against voters, there's not much choice at all, and many people vote for who they think can win.
I was a huge Obama supporter in 2008, I volunteered for his campaign and was paying close attention to the primaries, and I remember her race baiting very well, and nothing made me madder during that whole election season. I can't forgive her at all, and I don't think she's changed a bit, if it would help her, she would race bait again.
