In reply to the discussion: What the hell is up with all this Hillary hate on DU [View all]Xyzse
(8,217 posts)53. It's easy to complain about a known quantity, hence the hate.
She has her defenders as well.
She has been in the spotlight for a long while, that creates a record of shifting positions due to circumstance.
Being a politician, particularly a Democrat opens one up for compromises which detractors from one's side can point to as being part of the problem and lacking credibility in an issue, when more often than not a decision at a particular time is based primarily on the current situation and information given.
Some can not forgive such things, and will point those out constantly, even if they work for the betterment in other areas.
For me, I can still consider her a net positive.
That is enough for me to vote for her in the general election, even if I do not support her in the primaries.
