Re: Respect for others
by Elspeth Longhorn

You make good points here.

What I have noticed in this election is how much insults and shaming techniques are used against women to make them conform. These weird strategies are what the Obama crowd thinks will work. All of these strategies are built around trying to make Hillary supporters feel or look bad: if you're a Clinton supporter you're a racist, disloyal, a harridan, a shrew, a right wing tool, etc.

In the end, this strategy of trying to shame us or slander us is the LAST thing that will work. I don't vote for the candidate whose campaign tries to shame me; I run in the other direction. But maybe many of these Obama supporting women ARE the ones who can be easily shamed and, therefore, easily led. That is why they write silly articles trying to shame the holdouts, figuring if shaming worked to keep them in line, it will work with Clinton loyalists. Those poor deluded little things like Dahlia are still trying to be "popular" and don't understand those of us who stand and think on our own and feel no shame for it.
