5. You are absolutely correct.

Unlike GOPers, Dems are generally class acts.

Much as I - as a private citizen - can boycott and protest events such as the inauguration of a POS like Trump, it is customary for politicians on both sides of the aisle to show respect.

Hillary as the losing candidate (only due to the archaic EC and NOT by popular will) could possibly have been excused for not attending. But she was also First Lady during Bill Clinton's administration and is no doubt attending in that capacity.

As usual, whatever Hillary does, she will be - IMO unfairly - pilloried to high heaven, most especially by those who hate her and always have. But she is taking the high road and she and other Democrats in attendance are also showing solidarity with outgoing President Barack Obama.

Those who chose to criticize her actions can go f*ck themselves! The loudest among them likely never voted for her in any event.
