I want the Hillary supporters to tell me why they would support a hypocrite like this.

There's a huge overlap in the people screaming that everyone should stop being mean to Hillary and the people that kicked off a purge of gay people on here. The same people all changed their avatars to rainbow flags and stuff when it came time to yell about gay rights in Russia.

When BLM protested Sanders they were all about BLM and Sanders should be ashamed of himself for...I dunno what they were going on about that he did wrong when he dealt with BLM protests, but now that BLM is protesting Hillary, it turns out black lives only matter when they're useful.

They're yelling about free stuff and entitlements and insisting Henry Kissinger isn't that bad a guy. There is literally no bar you can set that they won't manage to crawl under.

People tend to support politicians they see themselves in.

Are often killed. Its heartbreaking to see anyone advocate sending them back.

it's equally disturbing to see her supporters continually finding ways to excuse her for this sort of stuff - it's like is has become an ingrained reflex learned during her husband's admin that they just can't shake. there's undoubtedly been baseless attacks against the Clintons from the right but... come on.
