(17,663 posts)When Obama was running the first time, my best friend cut me off because I wasn't getting in the bandwagon. I had no first choice at the time, but did have some issues with Obama from some of the research I had done. I just wasn't gung ho.
Well, apparently, that was a no no. I found out that my friend had glommed onto an Obama person which accounted for her distancing herself ftom me. It upset me no end.
I will tell youl that I quit contributing to Buzzflash because the anti-Hillary vitriole got so extreme that it made me sick. It was uncalled for. It's not the way to endear your favorite to a person who is observing and not decided. In fact, it's a turn-off.
I'm seeing the tension and hammering of a candidate to the extreme. I' m feeling that certain groups of people are making me feel like my former friend made me feel. It's uncomfortable and worrisome.
