A grassroots organization of Hillary Clinton supporters has announced plans to march in Denver on the same day the New York senator is set to address her party’s faithful during the Democratic convention there.
The march will take place on August 26 and is being organized by 18 Million Voices Rise Hillary Rise. The march will be accompanied by a festival in downtown Denver and additional coordinated marches across the country on the same day.
Clinton, who garnered approximately 18 million votes in the long Democratic primary fight, is scheduled to speak at the convention on the 88th anniversary of the date American women were granted the right to vote.
Since Clinton announced the formal suspension of her presidential campaign, the Obama campaign has gone to great lengths to promote party unity. Clinton and Obama appeared together at a campaign event in Unity, New Hampshire; the Obama campaign recently announced that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will be holding two fund-raising events to help retire Clinton’s campaign debt; and Clinton is scheduled to campaign on Obama’s behalf in key states.

That is, without a doubt, my biggest gripe (and I'm going to sound very unprofessional when I debate this) about The Clinton Campaign. Not only did she claim to have had the popular majority (and I want to she where she got her numbers), but asked all of her Extremely Biased voters to protest at Denver to keep her in the race. She could have just said "I have had a great run, and I need time to consider my options. Thank you all of my wonderful Board and Loyal supporters." She could have bowed out with dignity and still looked respectable (and for a while, at the end of the primary season, I was under the impression that she was staying in the campaign becasue if she went all the way to the last primary her supporters would respect the full fight and graciously accept Obama as their nominee).
Now, the supporters are still Pro-Hillary and Anti- Obama, and, speaking as an Obama supporter from the beginning. Yes, I would have been frustrated if Obama didn't stick it out until the end, but if he had lost, do you think I would be doing this? What gives them the right to do it? (Yeah, first amendment, I get it). But if the situation was flipped, wouldn't they say we were "Crying about a Long battle and the Best candidate won, it just wasn't meant to happen."
It's hypocritical, and I find the whole act (using the simile) "Like a bunch of Five year olds throwing a tantrum". Doesn't this just make Hillary look worse in the end. Like she's a sore loser?
Will some pro-Hillary voter who supports this idea please explain it to me?
(Again, I sound unprofessional, but it really urks me.)
