2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Has anyone flipped who they are supporting due to our "discussion" here on DU? [View all]Hepburn
(21,054 posts)I originally started as a Hillary supporter -- a weak one -- but a supporter. After seeing the conduct of and the statements made by some of her supporters on the DU, I started to look at Bernie and found what they said was totally false. The more I looked at Bernie, the more I liked him. In the beginning, I contributed $25.00 to Hillary and I still have 3 Hillary bumper stickers in my in basket on my desk. Now, I have a standing $25.00/month contribution to Bernie and a Bernie sticker on my car.
If not for the nastiness of some of the HRC supporters -- not all of the, but several of them -- who regularly post ugliness about Bernie Sanders, I might not have done my investigation. Hillary is now a very far behind 2nd choice for me. So thank you to a few very vocal and nasty HRC supporters for opening my eyes to the candidate, Bernie Sanders, who supports most closely where I stand on important issues.
