I hated Hillary in the primary |
|
and i still don't like her much. But i can identify with her policies and her political ideology just like anyone else here should. Every candidate makes mistakes, but after the primary was over it was time to start realizing that the reasons we where angry where probably more personal than political.
Hillary's post primary support for Obama was a bit less than enthusiastic, but its important to remember that she still came out and carried water for his candidacy. If the two of them really despised each other, then that must have been a real mountain for her to climb.
If they didn't, then we should seriously consider why we would. There are a few people who want to re-fight the issues. Maybe they feel that they didn't get a chance to win a given argument or that people here need some correction. In either case, its not going to help.
Hillary and Bill where huge in this party for a reason. Their contribution to this country was monumental. They balanced the budget and brought a measure of diversity to a homogeneous clog of previous administrative assholes.
Resist the desire to beat up on the Hillary supporters. Let them vent some and don't fight back. Hillary is still very important to many and i would suggest that we all wait a while before we stoke this fire again. We need unity, not to just be together, but because we need to work hard to get things back on track.
We can worry about our petty axes later.
