Even though I'm supporting Bernie Sanders I've had to defend Hillary a few times from Bernie supporters.
Even though I'm supporting Bernie Sanders I've had to defend Hillary a few times from Bernie supporters. While I didn't put my thoughts as collectively as this article does, I have made similar points here and there throughout the interwebz.
It all boils down to walking in another wo/man's shoes. Until you've lived their life, experienced their hardships, it's pretty ignorant to call people names.
Unless it's Trump. He's fair game. Or Cruz. Oh, hell, unless it's any or the wackados on the Right.

It is funny that you would defend this woman who has stood against civil rights in the 60's, stood agains MLK. Who was thrown off of the Watergate commission for being less than honest, and let's face it, she is always getting cough up in a lie every turn of the page.
As a registered Democrat in the state of California, and a member of organized labor in good standing, I'm voting Bernie or I'm voting Republican.
Not.
You sir, are an idiot. Go and get educated.
** who we can agree is the least progressive Democratic candidate,
Every Democratic candidate for the past two decades has acknowledged this threat and promised to take action. The Republicans have only offer to repudiate any international deal and to go further and abolish the EPA and stop climate research. If I had a vote I would vote on that issue alone.
To call Clinton a sociopath and a "monster" and then not acknowledge the genuinely scary narcissistic and psychopathic nature Ted Cruz, theocrat and genuinely fucked up guy, let alone the Hitler-esque demagoguery and thuggish hooliganism of Donald Trump strikes me as a wee bit ridiculous. I support Bernie Sanders for the nomination but will always prefer a Democrat, even a Clinton, over the swill that the Grand Ole Party is offering, especially as it is currently in the process of self-destructing.
