The glass ceiling isn’t the only thing Hillary Clinton shattered this week. She may have also fractured her own party. After adopting the most radical platform in DNC history, some Democrats worry that the party is about to learn a hard lesson about its extreme social stance. The incredible shrinking tent is having a major effect on the base, which warns that the country is nowhere near Clinton’s fanatical approach to abortion.
Justin Giboney, a Clinton delegate from Atlanta didn’t hide his frustration on the document, which he described as “reaching a point of irresponsibility.” “It’s one thing to say sometimes [abortion] is necessary,” he told reporters. “It’s another thing to say it’s a social good.” Others, like young medical student Christina Healy, feel like pro-life Democrats have been betrayed. “It feels like we are being pushed out of the party, but not for a good reason.”
