I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.

Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.

Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.

But the DNC didn't care about the primary votes and shoved her in because "we need a female president" or some shit.

I genuinely believe your average person both wants a female president and badly does not want it to be Hillary.

I'm astonished you people have maintained this level of delusion after Bernie has lost twice.

He had his chance, twice, and the voters did not choose him, twice.

And in 2020 they bent over backwards to accommodate him, even delaying moving the first primary away from Iowa
