Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)"We didn’t know where Hillary’s votes were coming from bc they didn’t feel it was safe" [View all]
Joanne Castle Miller had a great tweet about HRC voters not feeling safe in publicly supporting Hillary because of being harassed by haters (I urge everyone to read it):

But, this Reddit thread by HRC supporters discussing that piece is a fantastic -- and sometimes sad -- read:

One comment that I loved:
We are so proud of California. Wow. I am reading all sorts of posts about "what? Barbara Lee's district went for Clinton? BERKELEY went for Clinton? what?" Well, this thread explains it, doesn't it?
I'm beginning to think that, instead of being worried about having to hide being a Clintonista, I could enjoy it by imagining myself as a subversive, slinking around looking innocent while awaiting the opportunity to cast a dastardly vote again!
Masquerading as a middle-class, middle-aged woman is the best cover, isn't it? because I have become invisible.

OP
Some people bully, intimidate, and threaten. Other people peacefully and quietly vote.

Because my social group are adults, Bernie Bros aren't a huge part of real life for me.

They are now so pissed that in a week they will no longer get to dominate this board.
