2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBaseless accusations of misogyny are finally in the open!
We all know that there are misogynists in the world, just like there are racists, Islamophobes, homophobes, ageists, and ....
Anti-Semites.
But here's the reality: Not every Hillary supporter who knocks Bernie is an ageist or anti-semite and not every Bernie supporter who knocks Hillary is a misogynist. In fact, the number on this board who fall into any of the above categories is so minuscule that they're not even a blip on the radar.
So let's be clear in calling these baseless accusations of misogyny against DUers what they really are.
They are nothing but shameful attempts to censor and stifle opposition of an extremely flawed candidate. And the easiest way we can tell that she's extremely flawed is that every time someone posts a thread calling out something they don't agree with her on, someone jumps in crying "misogyny."
When was the last time someone accused a Hillary supporter of being an anti-Semite?

(10,786 posts)Clinton and her surrogates constantly attack by and/or while playing the victim card. Doesn't your bleeding heart bleed for poor, poor disempowered Hillary?
Anybody who has the gall to publicly express her or his political disagreement with Clinton or her supporters is by definition mean-spirited, racist and sexist. This the only consistent line of attack Clinton and her supporters have, and they are sure sticking with it.

(11,709 posts)She knows how to attack but thinks she's too special to get hit back. Many of her supporters feel exactly the same as we can see when they cry "misogyny" every time someone counters their lies with a fact about NoHope Hillary's checkered past.
I no longer see a reason to allow them to bully us.
