2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: In its first endorsement ever, Planned Parenthood endorses Hillary Clinton. Do you stand with them? [View all]DemocratSinceBirth
(99,962 posts)228. I asked an innocuous question...
This is the third time I am alluding to a thread that explicitly stated that Clinton supporters were also Harper supporters and were disappointed that Trudeau's Liberal party won. When a Clinton supporter earnestly decried the charge it was met with glee because the original poster made them upset. If my memory is correct it had hundreds of recommends.
That was magnitudes worse than my lil poll and the Recommends let me know what the people who recommended it think of me and my friends.
I am just providing balance.

I certainly disagree with the endorsement but I'll still contribute to PP.

It's not a "calumny" to point out that ALL Democratic candidates are just as pro-choice as HRC.
