Hillary's secret army of supporters [View all]

(I'm a member in the secret FB group that this article references)


"We’ve collectively rolled our eyes at the use of US Uncut as a source by Bernie supporters, and have even had some frank discussions about biased sources that support Hillary, and how and when it is appropriate to use them.
We’ve talked about feminism, trans and gay issues, foreign policy — including some honest and emotional discussions around Israel/Palestine — and we’ve gently corrected one another sometimes.

We’ve even started talking about getting together on a field trip to the inauguration, or maybe on a get-out-the-vote trip to a swing state for a weekend in October.

Our group started out as a place for supporting Hillary, but it’s turned into a lot more than that. It’s a caring, vibrant community of people who look out for one other online now, who give encouragement, and keep things in perspective. We have our go-to people for bringing calm to the room when panic sets in, and we’ve rushed into action to help give an undecided voter at the polls a nudge toward Hillary."
