Which people? I’m one of those people who voted for her in the primary and the general, and donated hundreds of dollars (enough to hurt a little bit). If you want to page through my boring-ass post history here, you can see that I’m one of those people who argued vociferously with Bernie Bros.

Yeah, no kidding they didn’t hold Trump to the same standards.

Okay, so it was just some bullshit you were spewing then.

I dunno, to be honest. So far I think I can get excited about Keith Ellison, but he’s not someone I can imagine running for president. It’s a good question and I wish I had a good response; I do think the party has some blame for the fact that we haven’t built a stronger field the past few years.

I guess I don’t really have any idea what it looks like when someone tries to disguise their handwriting.

It doesn’t say that, I’m just trying to understand the quality of the writing and the fact that they wrote “MRS. tELi”.

Unlike Hillary, he at least was liked and respected.

The fact that the party basically handed her the nomination because it was her ‘turn’ was a concession to her feelings and wasn’t based on any calculus of her electability or her capability to govern. (And her only real opposition was some guy who isn’t even a member of the party.)

Okay. You’re free to cite some sources for the claim you’re making.

Okay, well, we ran a candidate who is only marginally more likable than the lifelong conman who is famous for firing people on TV (at least according to opinion surveys).

Is it supposed to have been written by a five-year-old? Typical high school students wouldn’t have quite that kind of difficulty with a pen. But then, a little kid wouldn’t get the idea to say something that horrible, whereas a high school student probably would.

I don’t take heart in the thought of the party being taken over by Bernie supporters, because he would have done even worse than she did in a general election.

That looks kinda suspicious.

Yes. That is exactly what that post was.

We ran a candidate whom everyone hates and when she lost, our response has largely been to get angry that people failed to get on board with her.

Let’s run candidates who don’t constantly do bad things that we then have to constantly explain away.

I’m pretty comfortable guessing that it was explicitly against the rules at the time, but even if it wasn’t, so what? Trying to get around the government’s security practices should be against the rules. She shouldn’t have done what she did. Just about anyone who did something like that at a regular job could expect…

Yeah. And it’s just not surprising that a lot of voters would get turned off by this. The fact that the other guy is way, way, way worse doesn’t sway low-information voters on its own.

You’re really dumb.
