[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Of course, I don't.

[cyberswede]

12. Me neither. nt

[Vinca]

2. What is the point of this poll? It seems you're going for a certain response.

Can't we just prefer one candidate over the other with no hate involved?

[cyberswede]

11. Of course. I read on DU that Sanders supporters hate Clinton, so I thought I'd ask.

Maybe someone's collecting names?

[PatrickforO]

54. Why in the heck would she collect names?

To what end?

[short circuit]

3. Don't hate her person, but hate her politics

Nuff said.

[cyberswede]

14. I don't even hate her politics. I just disagree on some issues.

[Kali]

4. nope

don't hate her supporters either.

[cyberswede]

13. Me neither.

[hrmjustin]

5. I hate repuublican moles.

[Ed Suspicious]

55. So do I.

[fadedrose]

6. Wrong Verb

Change hate to "distrust," "suspect," "tired of," "dislike the baggage of," but "hate," NO

I wish her well. She has worked hard to what end I don't know.

I don't particularly want to see Bill as first lady...

[cyberswede]

15. I read on DU that people hate her, so that's why I used that word.

I suspect most DUers don't hate her at all, but I thought I'd ask.

[TheFarS1de]

7. This shod be pulled . Nothing but flame bait .

[sabrina 1]

10. Yes, any op that implies that Democrats on this forum 'hate' candidates simply because they do

not agree with them, should be locked. You are right, just flamebait.

[cyberswede]

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

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. More flame bait

And quite divisive shit

[cyberswede]

16. I didn't intend for flamebait. I was hoping to demonstrate that most DUer don't hate her.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. From now on I will point to it

that is a promise.

The scabs from 2008 are now off and we nave new deep wounds.

That is the damage being done.

So with that. divisive flame bait.

[cyberswede]

21. Not sure I get what you mean.

You'll point to what?

I don't have any wounds from 2008, so I don't understand what you mean.

When DUers claim that other DUers hate Clinton, I think they're incorrect. I certainly don't hate her, and I assume most other people don't, either. So, I thought I'd find out.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Ok, I will translate it

the divisions after the highly divisive campaign of 2008 never quite healed. Now those wounds are deeper.

I know that I have been called some lovely things, so with that I will call it. This is divisive shit and should stop. It is not going to stop, I do not expect it. But it will leave even deeper wounds.

And with that, have fun with your OP

[cyberswede]

23. Pointing out that DUers DON'T hate Clinton will cause deeper wounds?

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. Read the responses you got

I was not the only one to see this as divisive.

Have fun

For the record, at this point I am starting to dislike a particular group HERE ON DU beyond just disliking them. And it has to do with the divisive shit they keep doing.

[magical thyme]

9. I don't trust her and don't like many of her policies.

I try not to hate anybody.

[cyberswede]

17. Me neither. nt

[last1standing]

18. I don't hate her, but I also don't trust her to advocate for my interests.

She never stood up for marriage equality when we needed her. She isn't standing up for reigning in multi-national corporations, she isn't standing up against fracking or Keystone XL. She won't stand up against TPP or other trade agreements that cost jobs and limit our ability to regulate corporate abuses.

Hate has nothing to do with it.

[cyberswede]

29. To me it isn't even trust. I believe she means well.

I just don't think she gets what it's like for regular Americans - how the transfer of wealth & power to the 1% really hurts everyone.

[last1standing]

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.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. The opposite of both love and hate is indifference.

To me she's just another ambitious, professional politician who is ready to do anything to WIN!!

Call me proactively indifferent.

[GoneFishin]

27. I think she is jockying for a new job, not looking for a way to help the country.

And I think the advisers who surround her are the same. Once the campaign is over her interest in helping the voters will move to the bottom of the list, or maybe fall completely off the list.

And as for liberal voters, the party will move their concerns into the column reserved for "retarded dirty hippies".

[SamKnause]

26. I disagree with her policies and the

direction she wants to take this country.

I don't feel she represents the needs of the people.

I think she is more interested in pleasing Wall Street, CEO's, the MIC, and

corporations.

[cyberswede]

30. I think she truly cares about people, but I think she doesn't get how effed up things are under...

the status quo, and how radically things need to change. I don't blame her, most politicians don't get it.

[Arugula Latte]

28. I don't hate her.

She does make me cringe, though.

[PeteSelman]

32. Hate I reserve for the Cheneys, Walkers and Cruzs

I dislike her politics and I think she's only in it for personal gain but I don't hate her.

[cyberswede]

35. Yes, I'll admit to hating those assholes, too.

They are malevolent.

[last1standing]

33. LOL! The posters who "hate" Hillary are her own supporters!

There may be something Freudian there.

[ibegurpard]

45. do people not realize

That everyone can see the voters?

[Arugula Latte]

63. Well, well, well.

Very interesting.

[MoveIt]

66. Darn they were busted!

I'm sure they'll say it was a "protest vote" Who else from the recent political landscape is cool with electoral fraud?

[bigwillq]

34. I do not hate her, although I strongly dislike her (nt)

[cherokeeprogressive]

36. I have to know someone who's done me terrible wrong in order to hate them.

I gots not a bit of love for her though.

[840high]

37. I loved Hillary in '08. Now no

longer think she's best for us. No hate involved - just found a better candidate.

[Android3.14]

38. Of course not. She's simply damaged

The pragmatic recognitionthat HRC has compromised herself beyond any hope of representing the people is something other than hate. It's a bit like recognizing when you can no longer trust a sibling because she is addicted to drugs or traveled too long down a path from which there is no return.

Hate? No. Profound sadness for her and her supporters and a commonsense commitment to support a true representative of the people? Definitely.

Bernie is one of the good guys.

[tularetom]

39. No, I don't hate anyone

I sort of dislike her but more than anything else I pity her.

She isn't presidential material and from the sort of joyless way she conducts her campaign you can tell her heart isn't in it.

She just does not look comfortable with being a public person.

[RufusTFirefly]

58. Me neither

I don't even hate Cheney or Putin. I try very, very hard not to hate anyone. Hate, when aimed at people, does absolutely nothing beneficial.

I do hate push polls, however.

[left-of-center2012]

42. Huh? Say what?

Is this to entice Sanders supporters to say something bad about Hillary?

[cyberswede]

43. No. I was hoping to demonstrate that Sanders supporters don't hate her.

Edit to add: I'm a Sanders supporter myself.

[MisterP]

44. she's got a lot of blood on her hands: I can't choose any option

[MrMickeysMom]

46. Here's a new twist… Bullshit that is Divisive

[cyberswede]

50. What's divisive are all the accusations that Sanders supporters hate Clinton. I think most don't...

so I asked.

[dionysus]

47. nope. dislike her as a politician. i bet if i go to hang out with the clintons for a day we'd get

along just fine.

[John Poet]

48. You left out "No, but I'm starting to hate

some of her supporters."

[AgingAmerican]

49. I think she's fine but I like Sanders better

nt

[Luminous Animal]

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

Do I hate Republicans. No I do not. I disagree with them on near every policy that they promote.

Do I hate Hillary. No I do not. I disagree with her on crucial matters that are important to me.

[cyberswede]

53. I agree. nt

[PatrickforO]

52. I do hate her wishy-washiness on some issues, the fact that she's a poll driven candidate, and

that she has neocon/neolib tendencies. I intensely dislike her stance on TPP (she's a creator of it, along with other 'free traders').

But I don't hate Clinton the person. Not at all.

[cyberswede]

56. Me neither. nt

[daleanime]

57. Have you ever hated former Secretary Hillary Clinton in the past?

Do you plan to hate former Secretary Hillary Clinton in the future?

Do you just like typing former Secretary Hillary Clinton?

[cyberswede]

59. You must have missed this:

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is a man who has always advocated for the underdogs, for women, for minorities. And so it’s exceptionally ironic and troubling that his campaign is being hijacked by priggish, self-satisfied, angry white progressives. The elitist, misogynistic kind whose myopic priorities are pot laws and the privacy of their emails. Oh, and their zealous, rabid hate for former Secretary Hillary Clinton.

[daleanime]

62. I would never do such a thing....

by accident.


Now, on purpose, that's a whole other thing.

[napi21]

60. Of course not! I not only like her but I respect her and her abilities.

I am supporting Bernie because he supports almost al the changes I'd love to see made to our Country, but I also recognize that it's going to be a tough uphill battle for him to win the Dem nomination. If he doesn't win, I have no problem supporting Hillary and will do so with all the gusto I can possibly muster.

[Laffy Kat]

61. I am fine with both HRC and her supporters!

As a Democrat I will vote for the Demo. candidate. I prefer Bernie but am not inflexible. Also, terrified of what will happen to the country under another Repub. president.

[HeiressofBickworth]

64. At this stage of the process

I have a choice of who should be the Democratic Party nominee. Although I admire her accomplishments, I don't agree with some of her policy positions so I am supporting Sen. Sanders. If, however, she becomes the nominee, I will definitely vote for her in the general election. No hate involved at any level.

[olddots]

65. To me Hillary became a pop star and I didn't

She won't hang out with me anymore because she made and I didn't .Stupid analogy but its all I have ,I don't hate but she hurt me.

[WI_DEM]

67. Why even ask such a loaded question?

[cyberswede]

68. Because I read on DU how Sanders upoorters hate Clinton, so I thought I'd ask.

This article made me wonder:
