Outside the Democratic convention, opposition to Clinton makes itself heard
PHILADELPHIA — Republicans who dislike Donald Trump were mostly discreet at last week’s nominating convention. They grumbled in private conversations, expressed their unease through hand gestures, or jeered a procedural call by party brass.
It’s noisier on the left.
The progressive brigade that refuses to march behind Hillary Clinton is loud, proud and in the streets at the Democratic convention. What was ostensibly a march for climate change Sunday included plenty of T-shirts for her primary opponent Bernie Sanders, for the Green party’s Jill Stein, and little discernible trace of support for her.
In fact, there appeared to be a greater number of anti-Clinton protest signs like, “Not With Her,” and “Never Hillary,” in a visual demonstration of the challenge ahead for Clinton in uniting progressive voters.
