The Forgotten Hillary Clinton Voter

The Forgotten Hillary Clinton Voter: A Profile Of The Not-So-Silent Majority

"... the media ran piece after piece on Trump voters casting them in a sympathetic light, favoring hot takes about so-called “economic anxiety” over the very real anxiety of the Clinton voters fearing for their future. Ignored by the media and bombarded by taunts from Republican family and friends, Clinton voters took refuge in online groups, looking for reassurance that the world they had help build hadn’t been destroyed.

The Resistance was born from this banding together, forged from the fire to fight back for the country they love. Instead of celebrating a broken glass ceiling, they had to pick up shattered dreams of equality and soldier on together. Who were they and what did they care about? These were the people Rantt News wanted to give a voice to.

Instead of seeking to shed light on the over-reported on Trump voter, we at Rantt News decided to spotlight the majority. We opened a survey soliciting Clinton voters who’d be willing to answer a few questions. Why did they vote for Hillary? How did they feel about living under a Trump Presidency? What did they think needed to be done to move forward as a country?"

I don't forget and I don't forgive and if the DNC runs anyone but a registered legitimate Democrat in 2020 or any other time for anything else, I won't be voting or I will write in Hillary Clinton.

And yet, according to our survey respondents, it seems there is no resume solid enough, no political pedigree pure enough to overcome sexism and misogyny in America. Much of the dismay our survey respondents expressed stems at least in part from this singular conclusion.

I cry for what we have lost...a future.

Make no mistake, millions of us were effectively called bitches and worse from within and without our party for daring to want a competent female president. Where she would have went, we would have followed, and a lot of male authority would have been upended along the way.
