Lena Dunham says that she has received “more hostility” for supporting and campaigning for Hillary Clinton than she has ever gotten from the American right.

“I have received more hostility for voting for a qualified female candidate than I have ever received anywhere from the American right wing,” she said at a Clinton campaign event at NeueHouse in Hollywood.

“The fact that other members of the Democratic Party have spoken to me like I was an ill informed child for voting for someone who represents everything I think this country should be is outrageous.”

Dunham noted that she’s received the “vitriol” via her Instagram feed, where she has posted photos as she campaigned for Clinton in primary states.

She said that she reached a “tipping point” last week when one commenter wrote to her, “Bernie Sanders has done more for feminism than Hillary Clinton has.”

This thread has made me grapple with a difficult question: who do I dislike more, Dunham or Clinton? I don't think I'll ever know.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Lol, looks like no one likes you Lena!

 

[Torrid]

Well, if it's on your Instagram feed then...

Also, her example is pretty funny. That doesn't sound like vitriol, just a dissenting opinion from a faceless internet figure.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

All this and charming too. That's what I call a keeper!

Bernie Bros are going to Bro, Bro.

I believe it. I have received the same treatment as have columnists, and reporters who were liberal and backed Hillary over Bernie.

The best was when Paul Krugman offered a slight critique of Sanders policy proposals and their feasibility. And Bernie Bros went on offensive calling Krugman an idiot, a shill, a nobody and saying they are so disappointed that someone they respect is "shilling out". To them it seems that Bernie can never be wrong and his word is that of "God".

It was amusing because in the months prior these same idiots praised Krugman when he wrote columns slamming GOP economic policy and supporting in theory some of what Sanders says.


In short I believe her. Trump fans have not attacked me at all and the Trump fans on this forum are quite nice.

Lena Dunham IS an ill-informed child. Her endorsement of any candidate carries about as much weight as a houseplant's.

what, exactly, has Hilary done for Feminism?

not divorce a husband that banged over 20 sidechicks?

I'm being serious too, the fact that she was most upset by that part, is absolutely hilarious

That's not surprising to anyone familiar with how socialists/communists go about effecting change. And Bernie attracts the socialists/communists more than any other candidate.

Well, she must be a real women that supports Clinton huh?

Wonder how the fake women, and young women who vote for Bernie because they are just chasing boys feel about that?

That tipping point was a pretty civil criticism. She should avoid sherdog

Accused a victim of rape, of being a liar?

Bernie virtually cant win and will die soon. So this is all moot.

Bernie bros, or Obama boys?

She has quit Twitter about three times because she can't handle people calling her a child molester when she tries to get self-righteous on people.

I laughed at this harder than I should have

 

[ripskater]

Then the Trump fans need to step up their game.

Based on the war room threads, I'm not surprised.
