It helped me understand something about myself. I remember I went to visit a friend and she asked me if I was upset that Hillary lost. The first time I was asked I said no losing is part of life. It happens. (I do believe that. You can’t dwell.) She then asked if I would vote for Obama and I said that I couldn't. When asked why I said he seems weak. (And he has yet to disappoint.) Well what I didn't know then was that I was upset. But it had nothing to do with losing, it really didn't. I just could not grasp why I was so upset. Well eventually after doing more searching and examining of the self, I realized that I was in agreement with many on the PUMA sites. I was approached again by the same person and told that it looks as if I was angry. I still could not admit to anger because anger makes you seem irrational. I am not irrational. I do not rely on emotion to guide my life, but I do have passion. And while passion and emotion are similar, they are still different. And yet I was angry. But I WASN'T angry at her losing, I was angry because of how she was treated. It wasn't so much the common "Hillary's a man eater attacks". It was even after all was said and done, they did not show her (or her supporters) proper respect. The woman has done amazing things in her life, and continues to do so. No she’s not perfect. (They are all politicians; I’m not delusional) Still you have to admire that despite being attacked constantly and running her campaign in the red, she won. She won. She knows it, That Which Shall No Longer Be Named knows it and everyone knows it. It takes a lot of strength, character and determination to have everything against you and still come out on top. I would have taken more comfort had the race not been so one sided. The media should have done its job, and not been so desperate to increases their revenues by featuring That Which Shall No Longer Be Named so much. Heck, I might have entertained the idea of voting for him. I will not support That Which Shall No Longer Be Named. I studied him and examined his life and more importantly his voting record. I'm not convinced. My friend wants me to support him because she's tired of Republicans. That's all. Frankly, I'm not that desperate to put a democrat in the white house. Writing this has been therapeutic. I'm going to have flesh this out later. Thank you for this. It helped me understand something about myself.

Thank you for your articulation. I too watched, listened and read very carefully throughout this primary season. Kept myself very aware of ALL that transpired. And what I know for sure (to quote an Oprahism) is that my eyes, ears and mind did not deceive me. I witnessed the very same things you write about here. And I too will never, ever forget. Mainly because so much of what was said and written about Hillary, and done to her, was so utterly disrespectful and wrong. And, frankly, as the primaries progressed, I still found it very difficult to believe/understand how and why it was allowed to continue. It's a true testament to Hillary's strength and courage that she was somehow able to rise above it all. God bless her. And God bless all of us who have supported her. Thank you, Ani!

We csnnot allow the MSM, the DNC or anyone to get away with pretending this did not happen the way it did. There is no way MILLIONS of people, men and women, would have had such a visceral reaction to this bias and misogyny if it were just about "my candidate didn't 'win.'" Liberty Belle –

Many thanks.

I know what it is to see similar things in the workplace, life, etc. Re: women being belittled, put down, passed over for promotion, threatened (did I leave out sexually harrassed?)- you name it. Will need to re-read this to let more of my own feelings out in reflection. Anyway, know a lot of us can relate to what you've tapped into here, and appreciate your putting it into words. Meanwhile, FYI - got back from church this a.m., and please know I say extra silent prayers for Hillary, her family, supporters, and this country. Ani,
