You'd have to be incredibly naive to believe that by using #ImWithHer, Hillary supporters aren't priding the fact that they're supporting a female candidate. What else would be the point of that hashtag? Why not #ImWithHillary or just a statement of support for Hillary based on policy or any reason at all? It's also not surprising considering Hillary and her supporters have played a game of dirty politics, accusing Bernie, the most progressive candidate with an excellent record on women's issues, and his "Bernie bro" supporters of being misogynistic

Wait, so the American media is intentionally lying to voters and attempting to mislead them? A North Korea tea

And I judge you for supporting Hillary and having Death of a Bachelor in your NP. At least listen to one of their good albums like Pretty. Odd. or Vices & Virtues.

No honey. No. The WINNER - the person who has won - is, under DNC rules, the person who achieves a threshold of delegates, including superdelegates who have publicly or privately committed to a candidate. Superdelegates. Don't switch. She has won, by all but one definition of the word (that being waiting for Sanders to drop out or the convention to occur) and the title is accurate as a matter of pure fact.

I find that hard to believe when half of her supporters scream, "MADAM PRESIDENT, MADAM PRESIDENT!!!!" every chance they get and include the honorary name in their member titles.

It's just marketing omg. #ImWithHer is catchy and preys on the eagerness for a woman to be President, yes, but also refers to the only woman in the race at all and is just generic support for Hillary. Lord.

But see, this is actually incredibly insulting to me because I and many others in that thread have had extensive discussion about policy, about voting records, about experience, about everything. I don't know if you're just not around for them? But we've had them. I work for her campaign. A lot of us have put an incredible amount of time into making what we feel is the best decision for the future of our country. To say we haven't, to imply that other candidates' supporters are more intellectually and politically engaged and we only support her for her gender? That's just not fair or accurate..
|
Yet, according to you, all of Trumps supporters are racists.
Salty.

Some people are excited that the US is finally coming very late to the point of being willing to elect a woman as its leader IF she is the most qualified. That doesn't make it the reason they support her.

Because slogans are meant to be catchy and simple. What is this hashtag you'd want? #ISupportHillaryBasedOnPolicy?

I...
Like, people can vote for whoever they choose, obviously, but can someone who is homosexual explain why they would vote for Trump? Do you understand that you would be voting for a candidate that will literally take actions that will hurt your rights and make your life more difficult? Or you know it but don't care...? Just please help me understand.

The director of MSNBC elections coverage was literally just on live national news explaining this and explaining that some superdelegates wish to remain anonymous even when they report that support to news outlets. It's not my job to source this at this point, it's common knowledge and it's just how it works (but anyone who's been watching MSNBC tonight can back it up).

We are proud to be supporting a female candidate  not the same as voting for her simply because she's a woman. She just happens to be the best candidate by far.
