Just ask a Hillary hater *exactly* what it is about her they hate, and you'll mostly just hear some blubbering...then silence.

Those who vote based on the most superficial of sentiments (e.g., looks, lack of penis, or...gawd forbid...voice level) are not qualified to mark up a ballot. Unfortunately, such right is accorded them and a vote is basically wasted.

It's so damn embarrassing, at times, to be an American.

I hope you continue to publish calls to apologize to Hillary. Until we reckon with how she was systematically sullied over and over to create an uneasy feeling about her character and how that is misogyny, women will continue to be stymied in the quest for equality. I see it and feel it in how all women are treated with an uneasiness. I hear it in my male family members who have said to me, there was something not right about her. If it's a vague uneasy feeling that you can't name, it's internalized misogyny. Women are not immune to having internalized the prevailing cultural uneasiness with women. We need the press to openly examine their contribution to sabotaging HRC as reality as Comey did. Please continue to call for an apology. I'll continue to talk to the good men in my family. It's a step toward equality.
