35. I think it doesn't matter what demographic you fit, if you don't support Clinton

they are going to paint you as a sexist misogynist pig. It is the easiest way they can back people into a corner and try to make them feel guilty for not supporting (or anointing) their candidate.

Then once it is over they are going to try to bully you into supporting Clinton. Don't expect them to suddenly turn all sweet for party unity. They act like psychotic people screaming down anyone who opposes them (both on DU and on Facebook).

Fuck it, I personally don't care anymore. I have already decided how I will vote in November if Sanders is not on the ballot.
