2016 Postmortem

(45,319 posts)the fact that it targeted LGBT voters as well and without mention of the many posts made by Bernie supporters straight and LGBT that harshly criticized the content and the poster and his constant history of making such posts going back years on DU. I personally made many posts in that thread and gave the OP no quarter, and yet almost daily some Hillary supporter attacks me using that fucking OP which attacked me. It gets old, this working of a sore but if you are going to do it, be fair, do not affect that a single poster represents anyone other than himself and certainly not those who castigated the ever living fuck out of him for that OP.
I'm sick of it. It was an attack by a Straight White Male against African Americans and LGBT. That's fairly common on DU, actually.
I can link you to Hillary supporters making hugely antisemitic comments and claim that defines the lot of you but that would be shitty behavior. Fact is, many many of DU's most anti gay posters are currently 'Hillary supporters'. So are many LGBT posters. They do not define each other. The fact that some Bernie basher says 'gays have plenty of rights already' does not mean YOU are like that. Not in my world. But using the standards you offer up, it sort of does.
So now, go back to delivering your Straight White Opinion at us. That's what it is, is it not? Straight people were and are the entire opposition cohort to LGBT rights. So I rarely give them the right to preach at me unrelentingly as if they were something other than Straight White people. They tend to hide behind other people's candy.
