Oh my God. Congratulations on being 16 years old and pouting. He ‘used’ the DNC because he votes with them like 99% of the time and because it’s the only viable path to victory in our country. Also, don’t know if you’ve read anything in the last two months, but the DNC absolutely sabotaged him from the very beginning.

So you’re ‘kinda over’ all the progressive values that he’s been espousing for 30-40 years? Jesus Christ, dude. Fuck off.

It’s possible to be deeply humiliated by a lot of things.

“Talking to the working class” doesn’t mean “appeasing racists”.

I think it’s worth saying. Taking them for granted was their greatest hubris in this election.

Of course Bernie would have won; does anyone doubt that Bernie would have kept the working class white men in Ohio, WI, PA and Michigan that voted for Obama twice but then switched to Trump? WI, PA & MI were the whole ballgame and they’re Bernie territory. We could have had President-elect Sanders instead of that fat,…

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.)

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.

IMO the Democrats got crushed for several reasons:

Prioritizing Hillary Clinton’s feelings over the people who will die as a result of this election is how we got into this mess in the first place.

Those are things that were known to come along with having Clinton as the candidate. It didn’t have to be her, and I’m not just talking about Bernie. She was a top down candidate.

If Comey wanted to throw the outcome of an election, all he had to do was recommend charges against Clinton at his July press conference. Even if the DoJ would have declined his recommendation (verly likely), the damage would have been done. He didn’t, so blaming Comey for the outcome of an election, where 53% of all…

You’re right...the timing was bad. Comey should have brought charges in July when the Democrats could have changed courses.

I’m so pissed that James Comey forced her to set up her own email server, in defiance of the rules.

I love Hillary, I voted for her without reservations, I cried when she lost.

People want to blame everyone but Clinton and the democratic party for the loss. Typical punching down instead of up. I wish dems would take responsibility for doing a poor job.

I don’t think it changed the mind of anyone who voted on Tuesday but I would suspect it affected voter turn out for her.

I hated this episode, but I think that’s the point.

Nah, the Dems and the DNC took the AA and Hispanic vote for granted. She didn’t even visit Wisconsin once during the campaign. These are the people that she needed to turn out to win. They were begging for a reason not to vote for Trump and she never even showed up to give them one. They have no one to blame but…
