Hillary Clinton-loving Facebook group Pantsuit Nation abruptly disbands, enraging members

The underground feminist voting group that urged Hillary Clinton supporters to storm the 2016 polls in pantsuits abruptly launched it’s disbanding Thursday, leaving its 2.8 million helps blindsided.

Pantsuit Nation, a Facebook-born movement supporting the first female Democratic presidential nominee, suggested its on-line neighborhood it might be defunct sooner than the tip of the weekend, The Post has found.

The group made headlines in the middle of the 2016 election for empowering Clinton lovers to tug on an affect go nicely with to stable their vote.

“I stepped away from my day-to-day involvement in this community last year, but I have stayed here reading your stories, appreciating what you have built and maintained against all odds,” founder Libby Chamberlain wrote in a put up breaking the data to the group’s lots of of hundreds of members.

“Earlier today, the organization that now manages the group announced that Pantsuit Nation will be shut down within the next two days.”

Supermajority — a feminist political group — took over Pantsuit Nation in 2019, three years after Chamberlain had created the members-only Facebook group.

At its high, the Pantsuit group flaunted 4 million followers, which has since dwindled to a modest 2.8 million.

The shrinking membership may probably be accountable for the sudden dismantling — Supermajority’s interim authorities director said they’ve been dropping the Facebook net web page with a view to focus on totally different avenues to increase female voter turnout.

“Over the past several weeks and months, we have taken stock of our work, particularly focusing on our success in 2022, and developed a strategic approach to best position Supermajority to build women’s political power in 2023,” Taylor Saditch suggested the group in a press launch.

The announcement comes decrease than six months after Supermajority touted essential success on the 2022 midterms. The group took credit score rating for serving to to usher in a report number of women voter registrations, a November press launch reveals.

The exact goal for abandoning the online web page is unknown — even the moderators have been left in the dead of night until the announcement was made.

“I do not have the details as of why?” wrote moderator Itale Watie. “As all of us moderators logged on and found instantly that now we have been being let go….tomorrow.

“None of us could ever imagine our exit like this, when we worked so hard to build a platform of truth and transparency. I know ya’ll (sic)want answers but as it is, none of us have them and we are doing our best to receive answers from the powers that be.”

Supermajority promised prospects it may defend the seven-year-old group nonetheless might be pausing new posts, suggestions and reactions on the net web page starting March 18.

But the group has allegedly already made strikes to silence its outraged viewers.

Several prospects often called out Supermajority workers for allegedly deleting posts speaking out in opposition to the selection — posts which have been solely allowed onto the situation after approval by moderators they appointed — and refusing to approve larger than 400 member-made posts to the feed.

Many questioned why Supermajority couldn’t hand the reigns over to the lots of of hundreds of followers so the members — who’ve carved deep friendships with one another via the years via the online web page — could proceed to learn from the on-line neighborhood.

“This community has been pivotal in amplifying voices that I would have never heard elsewhere,” one member wrote. “To hear that Supermajority is shuttering the group not only isn’t in keeping with the principles they espouse but is yet another occasion when marginalized voices are once again silenced.”

“They drop Pantsuit Nation, I drop Supermajority,” a member said. “I joined PN community very early on and it saved my sanity after Trump was elected. I am not interested in Supermajority, which has always struck me as more of a lobbying group than a community.”

Members complained Supermajority was ignoring their pleas and turned to the group’s basic Facebook net web page — which boasts decrease than a third of Pantsuit Nation’s followers — to unleash their ire.

Supermajority, Chamberlain and a lot of different group moderators didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for the comment.
