Recently I was debating Bernie/Hillary in a large FB page for teachers. My argument was that Hillary needs to improve on campaign finance in order to win Bernie’s millions of voters and unify the ticket. She cannot clinch without Bernie’s delegates.

The last comment posted on the thread said I was sexist and misogynistic because I was calling to “force” Hillary to change. They also said she shouldn’t have to change because she was in first place, that Bernie needed to change.

I was going to chalk this up as a someone so into Hillary that they seem to not care one lick about money-in-politics, and quick to label opponents with ad hominem attacks. But then, the whole thread disappeared. A check with the admins found FB removed it, not them.

What happened there??
