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.

Did she make Trump President? No. Did she give him way more opportunity to win than he would have had otherwise? Yes.

But it also seems ludicrous to suggest the only reason he got through the republican primaries was because of Clinton’s deep and friendly contacts in the right wing traditional and social media wings.

Yeah it's really easy to argue when you just make up shit and don't actually listen to what the other person said. I literally didn't fucking argue that, chucklefuck.

This kind of response is literally why I made this post. Because it doesn't matter what we say you people will argue with a fucking strawman anyway.

Calm down kid.

I literally didn’t fucking argue that, chucklefuck.

but acting like her campaign didn’t have an impact on Trump, and that her campaign centering him isn’t also part of why he ended up the nominee is acting like she never had any influence or impact at all, is also not true.

Arguing that Clinton's campaign is a large part of why he ended up the nominee is a little silly.
