[QUOTE] “She and other people who have gone online to defend Hillary, to explain why they supported her, have been subject to vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane often, not to mention sexist, to repeat.” Mr. Clinton, growing more demonstrative, added that the liberal journalist Joan Walsh had faced what he called “unbelievable personal attacks” for writing positively about Mrs. Clinton.[/QUOTE]
I admit the bernie fanbase can be a bit hostile, but that isn't a valid criticism of him, since the same can be said for every canidate ever.
Remember , according to most internet tabloids you are sexist if you don't vote Clinton
does anyone have anything nice to say about hillary? every defense i've seen for her is "BUT YOU'RE SEXIST!!!" fucking hell
Basically, they seem not able to find much to critique him on, so they try this.
[QUOTE=Article;49697867]“ ‘Anybody that doesn’t agree with me is a tool of the establishment,’ ” Mr. Clinton said, mocking what he described as the central critique of Mrs. Clinton by Mr. Sanders.[/QUOTE]
"Anybody that doesn't agree with me is a tool of the patriarchy." See how that works?
Dear god, argue him on his policies, not his followers.
Why even report on this? He's clearly massively, massively biased. It's not like his support is some kind of surprise or insight.
The fact that she (and Bill) pulls this card for everything is frankly embarrassing. Someone who was secure in their abilities wouldn't probably pull it even for flagrant sexist remarks when running a presidential campaign. It's a baseless smear campaign and I sure as shit hope the voters are smart enough to see that.
The Ad Hominem's are strong with the Clinton's.
This happens all the time, many people get vicious when it comes to defending their candidates.
It's true, I'm just trolling. I don't really care about better healthcare, better civil liberties legislation, better distribution of wealth, better taxing, any of that. [I]Totally.[/I]

Wow, reported.
[quote=Steinem]Steinem made her comments in an interview with talk show host Bill Maher on Friday, suggesting some young women were backing Sanders in an effort to meet men. “When you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,’” Steinem said.[/quote]
[quote=Albright]"They’re going to want to push us back," she continued. "It’s not done and you have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember, there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other."[/quote]
[quote=Hillary Clinton]“Well good grief, we’re getting offended by everything these days. … Honest to goodness, I mean, people can’t say anything without offending somebody. She has a life experience that I respect. I admire her greatly,” Clinton said[/quote]
As it happens Hillary & friends are trolls as well.

She has experience in politics.
I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that even Hiliary would roll her eyes about.
they knows she's absolutely fucked if they're trying this tactic
also, while she tries low blows on Bernie, he responds with this (i have posted this before)

Whenever this happens she seems to go halfway but never actually commit. Like she doesn't want these statements directly attributed to her, but is afraid that saying "I don't think that's necessarily true, and it's not why I'm running for president" will end up costing her support. So she just doesn't react.

Come on guys; you can't deny this. I mean, sure you can say that about really any political candidate, but some people here on facepunch are pretty crazy. They call her "shillary", "cunton/clitton", calling her things like a "psychopathic bitch". I think the sexism thing is just a talking point, but you can't deny that some bernie supporters have been pretty fucking vicious online. Comparably, I haven't seen anybody saying nearly as vicious things about bernie sanders, just that they don't believe he'd be a good leader.

Hillary Clinton has been campaigning for universal healthcare for a long time. That was her project as first lady.

Somebody who doesn't have any outward opinions and just goes along with trends and therefore pretends to be progressive makes her better than any Republican candidate.

"Shillary" isn't sexist nor has anything to do with her gender. It's about her being nothing more than a paid shill for corporations.

Maybe because she's a money hungry, flip-flopping, terrible politician.

Like I said, I think the sexism thing is just a talking point. I don't really buy it. However, you have to admit that while Bernie Sanders is great (as a Clinton supporter, I like a lot of what Bernie Says), but a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters just fucking suck
