OK - just to be clear I am talking about the primary elections to select the Democratic Nominee, not the general election. Just the primary.

(114,904 posts)In any case, I think respecting both supporters and critics is a good idea. I don't assume that her supporters are anything but sincere in their beliefs.
This morning alone, I have been called, by her supporters, a basher, a hypocrite, and insincere by multiple posters.
Are there posters on both sides who do this shit? Sure. And I won't say that one side is worse than the other, but since her announcement I have noticed that her supporters seem emboldened to lash out at virtually any criticism of her- particularly now that Skinner has endorsed her.
I am not a hater. Hillary supporters are not mindless adorers. That's the premise I'd like to see people start from.

(37,428 posts)...and especially not on the same schedule. It's very early in what we should remember is supposed to be a political promary rather than an anointing.
I'll be gritting my teeth, but eventually I'll muster some enthusiasm for our nominee. Most of the rest of you will probably follow an analogous path according to your own priorities and principles.
Lock-stepping is for conservatives...and even they look like cat-herders right now.
