Hillary hate

From Salon (Stalking, gaslighting, threatening violence: The abusive shape of Hillary Clinton hate):
...No one is questioning Clinton’s citizenship. Rather, the misogynist rhetoric toward Clinton has taken a different, more gendered form. Unfortunately, it’s a form that is starting to uncomfortably resemble the tactics that abusers use to assert dominance over the women they target.
It might seem heavy-handed to point that out, but it’s not like Clinton’s right-wing haters are overly concerned about subtlety. And while most do manage to not yell “get back in the kitchen” at her, “lock her up” is a thinly veiled version of the same sentiment.
Abusive men use four general strategies to dominate their female victims: limiting their freedom, stalking and surveillance, gaslighting and threatening or even using violence to keep them in line...

I will be so happy when this election is over. I can never remember (in my 62 years on earth) an election being so un-fun. Honestly the process i remember involved real debating about issues and potential ways to address our nations many problems. I just feel no resolution after this process.
What a relief it's over! Thank you Hillary for running an excellent campaign and thanks to Rob for his great advocacy!
There was nothing wrong with her campaign. My "advocacy" of course had no influence on anything or anyone, unlike your blog...oh, wait, you didn't provide a link to your brilliant blog!
