There’s a ton of sexism directed at Hillary Clinton online, but most of it isn’t coming from BernieBros

The depths of the Internet are a festering hellhole of racism, sexism and generalized harassment. Without the social constraints imposed via face-to-face communication and aided by the anonymity that many forums provide, people are free to say most if not all of the terrible things they are thinking.

Especially on Twitter, many of those terrible things are about politics, which means that a lot of garbage is directed at Hillary Clinton.

Since Clinton is currently in a primary campaign against Bernie Sanders, it’s sometimes simply assumed that online discourse in the context of the former Secretary of State is limited to supporters of one of the two Democratic candidates. This assumption is…faulty, to say the least.

There are an awful lot of Republicans posting as Democrats. These imposters are there to post negative information about one or the other Democratic candidates. Their M.O. is to act like they are hard core democrats.

Republicans are freaking Hillary supporters out. I listen to progressive radio while I'm in the car and frantic Hillary supporters are blaming Bernie supporters for any page that appears on Facebook. Good job, Rs! Found a way to split Dems.
