(3,111 posts)I find it kind of sad that Hillary supporters are quite as condescending as they are. They like to think they have some kind of moral or intellectual superiority, which is never really proven in any way.
Angry? I am livid that the Democratic Party that exists right now is just as corrupt in their own way as anything else, when it serves no purpose and doesn't have to be that way.
And I am trying to tell any Clinton supporter that will listen, and there don't seem to be many or even any, that neither they, nor Hillary, nor the party, nor Democratic chances in November are served by pissing off a large portion of potential Democratic supporters. And that the solution is easy - run a fair nomination process and even bend over backwards to make it so and appear to be so.
A truly strong person, candidate, group of people would easily see that as the truth and act on it. Dog eat dog believers, not so much.
This is supposed to be one party. Look after those who feel disenfranchised, particularly when there is so little to lose. Hillary has done just fine in debates. Have more of them. Easy answer.
