    Yep.

    I have a graduate degree, been left/progressive my entire life. Only in the past few years have I been told, to my face, that I’m a bigoted ignorance stupid piece of shit. It’s almost as if the left has gone off the rails and basically thinks anyone who won’t vote for them should f off. And they wonder why they don’t get votes or population.

    I used to be proud to be a Democrat. Ever since Clinton I’ve been ashamed and all the party has done is double down on their stupid sexist bullshit.

    I remember talking about how clinton was a bad candidate and was going to lose in 2016. all i ever got in reply was ‘you’re a sexist piece of shit’. yeah, god forbid i be critical of clinton’s shity campaign, and her crappy policies that alienated huge swaths of america.

      Plenty of us also criticized Clinton, we just recognized Trump was that much even worse and we’re willing to hold our nose. Because we care about getting our policies and will settle for closer to it, we aren’t going to go for whatever merely says theyll fuck over the powerful when we know the policies won’t actually hurt them.
