Hillary supporters will insist that the problem was that people were stupid and couldn't recognize how awesome she was no matter how many things wrong with her you point out.
I'm not saying that at all, I do get some of the issues. As I've stated numerous times, I was a Bernie supporter.
However, once she won the nomination, pushing the equally bad narrative might as well have been a pro Trump narrative, as they were not ever equally bad. Whatever her problems, they were nothing on what Trump will do to this nation.
So that message was false, and I'm completely pissed at the people who pushed it, since it appears that undecided voters who broke late for Trump were the final deciding factor. There were obviously many, many factors that resulted in this outcome, but if we need to own that Hillary was a shitty candidate, then other people need to own their mistakes too, and quit trying to wash their hands of blame. I have a few Bernie or bust friends who have since Nov 8th done nothing but try to shift blame. No, fuck that, I own my blame, they need to own theirs, while we register Muslims and deregulated fossil fuel and finish our slide into irretrievable climate change and CEOs run our government for profit openly, and our nation shrinks on the world stage, everyone needs to accept the part they played, because we have maybe, maybe one chance to fix it, if we are lucky. This may have been it, in which case it s doesn't really matter I guess, our grandchildren will curse us and history will condemned us.
