An All-Caps Explosion of Feelings Regarding the Liberal Backlash Against Hillary Clinton

[wildeyed]

COMPLETELY RIGHTEOUS RANT!

Can you imagine how absolutely infuriating it must be for Hillary to have to work so hard to be likable, but strong? Hip, but above the need to be seen as cool? For everything she says to be perfect because she'd be crucified otherwise, meanwhile Bernie Sanders could say pretty much anything he wants and it would be seen as the goddamn revolution? I'm so infuriated on her behalf. Because what you like about Bernie, what they like about Trump, she doesn't get to do that. She doesn't get to be all wild hair and yelling. Do I wish different? Of course. And the first female president would go a long way toward making that difference possible.
So since Hillary cannot yell, since by the virtue of being sane and not a white man she is forced to be the biggest adult in the room, just like Obama has had to for eight goddamn years, I will yell for her.

1. even when Hillary talks just a bit louder she is criticized but who the fuk cares?

She is a leader who has directed the Dept of State...what has bernie ever directed??

3. He can't even control his supporters. nt

7. It should be an interesting revolution! Are they all going to scatter in different directions??

Wait until the Anti-bankers find out that the Free-collegers just want to get free MBAs and make a bunch of $$$ working for Merrill Lynch!

He has never led anything in his life. He's never even had a job!

14. Oh, he was the mayor of a wide spot in the road, so he has Executive Experience!

Yeah, yeah...Sarah Palin was also the mayor of a wide spot in the road, and you know where THAT gets us!

2. Now this is a great point to make, two humans speak, one shouts all the time, the other

one occasionally, guess who gets criticized, the one who shouts occasionally. What is the difference between the two, one is male and one is female. WTH, why is it different when the female shouts occasionally and the delivery is bad, I am very unhappy with Woodard, for him to bring out that Hillary has a poor delivery and not to mention the fact Sanders shouts all the time, no, not even equal treatment. I am getting over the bunch at Morning Joe, they should end every session they advertise for Sanders and Trump, paid for by Morning Joe. Yes both Trump and Sanders claims not to take anything from others, they are both taking from MSNBC, it is a corporation.

4. think of skipping all media myself

Can't take all the subtle and obvious slights towards HRC from all of them. The adjectives they use are always a kind of put-down. They don't realize that it makes us double-down on our support of her. The more they ask is she dishonest, the more we know it is not so!

11. I have been doing that for months.

Ya, I’m there…

Hillary Makes History in Iowa, Media Pretends Otherwise

“…Hillary Clinton did what no woman had ever done. As Esquire’s Tom Junod noted, people forget what a trailblazer Hillary Clinton was and is. The first First Lady to become a US Senator and then win re-election. New York’s first female senator. The first woman to ever win a binding primary (in New Hampshire). She went on to win 22 of them in 2008. She also won 18,000,000 votes, more than any candidate in primary history. A successful Secretary of State, and now, the first woman to win the Iowa caucus. This cannot be repeated enough. Yet, as the Meryl Streep of politics, Hillary Clinton’s many achievements and long tenure in the public eye work against her, making some treat her successes as failure if she doesn’t present a perfect score….”

6. I get so angry when Bernie talks like he invented everything.

While HIllary was in the Senate they voted the same 93% of the time yet he trashes everything Obama and Hillary worked so hard to accomplish. I loathe him

[fleabiscuit]

10. I saw him in a video on MSNBC news the other day.

He actually said he wants to rip apart the Democratic party. I'm aghast that groups about him are allowed on the DU.

9. Did anyone see that toad Bob Woodward today on Morning Joe?

I don't watch, but saw the clip via Twitter. He literally said Clinton is too loud.

12. Woodward has been a shrill for some time. What infuriates me is Hillary

is placed on a higher standard than anyone else. She can handle it fine, but to me it is a form of sexism that permeates our Society

Everyone should be treated the same

[Starry Messenger]

13. They should, but sexism is a pretty easy weapon to lift.

People usually get away with it if they want to go there. She can handle it, but I admire her for running, knowing exactly the insane barrage of weaponized misogyny she was heading into.

15. That's badass

And spot on!
