(1,947 posts)They need to be the victim. They need to be the victim because it is hard to explain how someone running for president the last 12 years is having trouble with someone nobody knew about. At least only the hardcore followers of politics knew, but the majority did not. They need to be the victim to explain how they will nominate the first woman president for the democrats, but will lose in the general. They need someone to blame for the loss they know is coming and be damned if it will be her. She sets such a high standard of trust that we all must fall in line. If there is a things such as the Bernie bros, there is also a thing such as the Hillary hags. You can't have it both ways on every issue, just because your candidate does. Hillary hags are a silent group who never examine any of their candidate's shortcomings, they believe that "no we can't" should be the new democratic slogan, while supporting corporate wars. They are silent, for they are obedient to their corporate masters. They are prone to outbursts of poutrage, but they get over that once she adopts yet another position from the Sanders platform.
