Up front, I am a BIG Hillary supporter. I have a Hillary hat, stickers, I've hosted a house party and given probably $250 so far to help elect her.
And I've got a rant too. Hillary works day and night toward gaining the Democratic nomination for president. She has a great team working for her.
Just looking over the way she is interacting with DailyKos and YearlyKos tells you she will NEVER write off a single vote or give up on winning over a single supporter.
She has been a vocal defender of DailyKos when it was attacked by O'Reilly and I don't see any other candidate doing that. Why not? And why aren't people on DailyKos calling out their own candidates on this?
Hillary will, I think, win the nomination. She will do it with the support of a broad coalition of supporters. I sincerely hope DailyKos readers and diarists will be among that number.
It would seem to me that if a progressive site can't get behind any one of the Democratic candidates, that site will look pretty irrelevant. Sure, we're here to voice our opinions and show support for our chose candidates. I'm doing that now.
But, the very nasty and rude comments about Hillary are beyond the pale for me. It feels like many hold onto a hatred for her that actually surpasses that of Bush. I can't understand that. I don't dislike a single other candidate. I just like my candidate and her politics the best. Why is such vitriol out there?
I really hope those who have such anger and dislike will reign it in and return to discussions about policies, positions, etc.
There you have, one more rant on DailyKos.
