So I’ve seen a trend here. I wrote a diary raising a concern about an October surprise a la Julian Assange/Trump/Putin. There were many helpful comments and responses.
I also was accused of being a BoB troll by more than one person. And I saw this same accusation on another post by Newbie54. Neither of the posts were critical of HRC.
There has so much unfair criticism of Hillary that I can kind of understand people being protective of her. BUT, save your fire for someone who is going after her. Even then, be careful about the troll accusation as a way of dismissing and shutting down a different point of view.
I voted for Bernie in the primary, but it was a tough decision. Because I don’t hate Hillary. Never have. Don’t understand people that do. I admire her and have cringed at the way she is demonized. There are also folks that have supported Bernie, gone through a phase of demonizing Hillary, and are in the process of coming around. A process to be encouraged, not shut down.
We want to invite in and welcome those that have made (and are making) the shift from supporting Bernie to supporting Hillary, yes? And HIllary is competent and tough. She doesn’t need to be rescued from her new supporters.
