2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNo I do not HATE Hillary
I realize I cannot speak for others, nor will I deny that some others have really made a mess.
However, it seems easy to tar everyone who is not giving pure praise to Hillary as sexist. It has been done since 2008, and is revived now.
Some of us want Clinton to back the hell away from a centrist stance that has resulted in our party getting thrashed. Sadly, criticism is the one thing we have, and even some have to admit, it finally made her back off keystone and the tpp. We want a Democratic to win, and a sure fire way to lose is to follow the same pattern that had handed the GOP congress.

(11,833 posts)I think we just need to be ourselves and not worry too much about what other self-proclaimed supporters are saying.
I do notice some funny things. When Hillary says something more liberal some people go 'She's trying to copy Bernie!' And when she says something more moderate or conservative some go 'She's disgusting me by going so far right.' Others say she's 'camp weathervane.'
It's all kind of funny to me, as by most credible indicators she was a liberal member of the Senate and really doesn't differ much from Sanders except on some rhetorical phrasings of what they say they would like to accomplish. As for what they will be able to accomplish, I think regardless of who wins they'll be fighting on the same team and will both work to try and accomplish very similar things.

Irl Bernie supporters I know don't hate her but when they call her a republican I just shake my head.
I support her but I wouldn't be angry if Bernie was the nominee. It would mean the more dem voters wanted him to be nominated.

"Yes, we do agree on a number of issues, and by the way, on her worst day, Hillary Clinton will be an infinitely better candidate and President than the Republican candidate on his best day."
