Not wanting to hear about growing up, and big boy pants, etc., yet evidencing such a high level of chutzpah at the same time . . . .
I could see me becoming decidedly un-nice about this fucking bullshit. Particularly in regards to that same chutzpah crowd holding Hillary, Podesta, Mook, Brazile, Wasserman-Shultz totally blameless for the rout of their own making.
Just limiting the response to spouting off about the 'big boy pant' thing seems VERY, VERY tepid indeed, and way too much to ask for considering what is really needed.
False equivalency, plus strawman. No one ever said that all of the American people must accept the results quietly. NO ONE.
The call was always for the opponent to accept the results, which she has, and for a peaceful transfer of power at the top, which there was.
The "common" people on either side were always free to protest whatever the outcome was.
