Team Bernie: Hillary Ignored Us in Swing States

[rainbows_]

Hindsight is 20/20, but members of Bernie Sanders’s team in critical swing states say they knew Hillary Clinton was going to lose well before Election Day-and their warnings were ignored

shhhh it was totally Russia that made her lose

totally

actually never mind it's angry white men that's the new line from Billy Boy as of like, this morning

we'll switch back to all the BernieBro's fault by two weeks from now

And in the meantime absolutely no one will be trying to rebuild, no one will be trying to organize and get a ground game for 2018 running, and everyone will be trying to get more donations so they can work with their buds at consulting and data firms

hey look though!! A capybara!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: why does it have to be either/or? I personally think it was a combination of factors, including the ones described in this post, the ones you just mentioned, Comey being an asshole, who knows what all else--including, yes, the fucking Russians. I think every one of those things played a role, and I think it's a vast oversimplification to say the loss was specifically due to just one thing, whether it's the "Bernie bros," DNC fuckery, or anything other ONE factor. And I don't think that acknowledging the contribution of any individual factor has to be seen as a negation of the significance of any or all of the others

I... completely agree.

But this seems to be a Thing(TM) for the current Democratic leadership and especially the Clintons. They just do - not - want to shoulder any blame for their own failure to win an easy election. I agree that the idea of Russia doing emails is worrisome, but Russia's emails have very little to do with Clinton's group's own choices and what they did or didn't do. And I just feel like... obvs. we aren't going to rely on the GoP to GAF about progressivism or class issues so the DNC really, really needs to do some soul-searching. Which if they fixate on how everyone but Clinton did Clinton wrong... is not going to happen.

I hope Bill and Hillary fuck off going forward.

And Obama can fuck off after Jan. 20 as well since he forced her onto everyone, KNOWING how awful and out of touch a candidate she was.

Obama sold his soul to the Clinton's back in 2008. I wonder what his Presidency would've been like without their influence on his cabinet picks, among other things. There is no love lost there, the leaked Powell emails confirmed it.

I don't understand why Bill Clinton is allowed outside the house, like

“Looking out from the Clinton bubble, the outcome always looked good for Hillary,” said one Clinton surrogate. “Inside that bubble, she’s infallible. Many in that bubble have also privately admitted being there was the ticket to a gilded future.”

It was in their interest not to listen to bad news.

Their belief in the "greater good" fucked the whole world over. Thanks for that.

Every time I hear anything about 'The Greater Good', I am reminded of this:

Waiting for the Clinton apologists to spin this one in 3...2...1...

Also, the smear job they are doing with Keith Ellison is gross af.
