327. You don't have to placate Hillary supporters. Just stop calling them names

and saying things like "they are spoiled 4 year olds having a tantrum."

Stop insulting them for having been supporters of HRC, stop name-calling, and start to recognize that they have had valid reasons for being upset with how HRC and her supporters have been treated by too many other candidates' supporters.

I haven't taken sides in this campaign, but I have observed a significant amount of sexism and or misogyny among the Democrats. Some Dems think that the solution is to minimize the problem or even pretend it doesn't exist. I think we'd be better off to acknowledge it and work toward changing it in the future.
