One Bernie supporter to others OP/ED

[CapnAwesome]

I always find it curious how people support Trump.  Apparently LGBT rights, women's rights, and the first amendment (don't forget, Trump wants to limit freedom of press by opening up libel laws) don't matter to Sander's supporters.  All that really matters is defeating the establishment.  I suppose they should have supported Trump from the beginning if that's all that really mattered.  Policy isn't important, so long as the big bad Hillary is beaten.  

People always bring up things outside of the control of candidates.  Things like Saudi Arabia.  It's beyond the influence of Hillary Clinton to change how things work in Saudi Arabia.  Refusing to accept money for her charitable foundation on that basis is a ridiculous expectation.  Do you really think it hurts Saudi Arabia if Hillary refused to accept their money?  It wouldn't.  You wouldn't see any changes, because it wouldn't hurt them one bit.

What matters is how Hillary would govern this country.  She didn't name a VP who wanted to jail gay people for applying for a marriage license.  That was Donald Trump.  She didn't call for punishing women who got abortions.  That was Donald Trump.  She didn't call for opening up libel laws.  That was Donald Trump.   She didn't call for a database on Muslims, that was also Trump.  I don't see how any reasonable person could want a person like that to be President.  Especially if they supported Bernie Sanders.

*Bold is added.

I hear people say this sort of stuff all the time. "I don't understand" Really why are you celebrating not understanding other people's points of view? It's like a celebration of your own ignorance. Go on a pro-trump forum and learn. It's not that hard. People say they don't understand why people are voting for Trump like it's an intellectual strength or something.
