No, Hillary is not being Shoved Down Our Throats

[stopbush]

The kvetching from the BSers is really getting tiresome. Their man has lost, and they should deal with it.

I'm tired of hearing that Hillary is being "shoved down our throats" by the establishment. Really?

Sanders has spent much more on TV ads than has Clinton. He's gotten more free media exposure than any candidate in the race besides Trump. His every fart is spun positively by the cheerleaders at MSNBC and elsewhere. He has benefitted by not being properly vetted or subjected to negative attacks the way Hillary has for the past 25 years. Most stories about Hillary are negative, or they come laden with caveats that are based on RW lies, while Sanders benefits from the bullshit "little engine that could" spin.

As far the the Dem establishment, they have been more than evenhanded with Sanders, giving him the kid glove treatment, elevating him to a level on par with Hillary, even though he can't touch Hillary's experience and record for getting positive things done, as First Lady, as Senator and as SoS. Party primary rules? He knew those going in. He agreed to run by those rules. End of story.

AND YET - she has received 3-MILLION more votes than Sanders. She leads him in pledged delegates by 290+ votes and in super delegates by 500+ votes. How can that be? Could it be that Democrats LIKE Hillary better than Sanders, no matter how much the MSM, the RNC, the RWNM and Sanders himself attacks her character, her motives and her judgement? All things considered, yeah, that's what it is: Democrats can see through all the bullshit. We know Hillary. We've known her for decades. We trust her BASED ON HER RECORD. We want Hillary as our nominee.

Time to grow up and quit the whining that Hillary is being shoved down our throats, or being coronated, or being elected by the corporate elites. She is winning because millions upon millions of rank-and-file DEMOCRATS are voting for her to be the standard bearer for the DEMOCRATIC Party. Not the Independent Party, or the Democratic Socialist Party, or any other Party that is NOT the Democratic Party.

She is our nominee, the Democratic Party's nominee. That's the math. That's the reality.

And thank the stars for that!

1. K&R, good post and to the point.

2. The more people "get to know" Bernie, the less they like him, apparently. And his FEC legal issues …

... probably aren't helping either.

to lecture and censor when the lecturing doesn't go as expected...

Nothing is fair in BS world! So good am not of that world for so many and varied reasons!

4. Jim Clyburn just gave the reason on MSNBC

He said "Bernie is not a Democrat. Hillary has been a Democrat for all of her adult life and no one will be switching their support from Hillary to Bernie."

15. I'm not sure why they act so surprised when people stay stuff like that.

Gee, long-term Democrats are supporting long-term Democrats over a Democrat of convenience.

Oh, the scandal!

14. "Shoved down our throats" has long been a GOP tagline, which makes it an interesting choice

On the GOP side, it's usually spouted by homophobic dopes, of course. They seem a little obsessed with stuff getting shoved down their throats. Oh, and getting bent over by everybody.

From the Sanders fans, it's all part of denial, as far as I can tell. They can't logically accept that Clinton is getting more support, and it can't be because she's more popular or that people think she's the better candidate - it has to be something else.

It's the media's fault for propping up Clinton, Clinton's fault because, well, she's Hillary, Elizabeth Warren's fault for not kissing Bernie's feet, the planets aren't aligned, or whatever. It's never their candidate who might be part of the problem, and it's certainly never the fault of his supporters. They write posts indicating that nothing is their fault and get 150 recs.

The funny part is that the media has been bashing Hillary Clinton and pushing every ridiculous "scandal" and conspiracy theory for 25 years. It takes some serious willful ignorance to not see that.
