Remember when there was that flood of thinkpieces where someone went "I was once a Bernie Bro; I once, as they say, 'felt the Bern,' but then I realized how sexist it was to care about economics, and now I am proudly #WithHer, and if you are not sexist as well then you should be too! :)" and then when you looked into the authors' history they were all alums of, like, the Gingrich or Romney campaigns and worked at Goldman Sachs

No reason to bring that up really I'm just mad and would like a Frosty pls

Some gems from facebook

Some Idiot posted:

I don't think Hillary deserves the flack she's getting in this thread, but whatever. It's still happening all over America.

From the outside looking in, I despised the polarising nature of the Democratic primaries. This is something I've seen up front in Canadian leadership races, where leadership candidates will occasionally have to mind themselves from getting too personal, lest their create too much ammunition for the opposition to use against them in the next election.

I do blame in part, the Bernie-or-Bust movement. We know that many of those people voted for Trump because they had built up in their minds an image of Hillary as a villain.

And now we are still at the point where we can't talk about this rationally, where Hillary cannot even explain her side of the story without being accused again, of not taking responsibility. She is taking responsibility, but she's also allowed to explain in great detail exactly what she saw.

Course I still think Hillary's biggest obstacle was the fact that she's a woman. I just can't see past this one truth I've always seen in politics, that in the court of public opinion, scandal sticks to women, older women especially far more than it sticks to men.

Some Idiot continued posted:

This also speaks to another inherent frustration with politics, wherein it's one person's political record vs a guy who just has said a bunch of stuff. Inevitably, one gets challenged for all these difficult decisions they had to make while in office at high positions, and the other one can just shout loudly with nothing to be held accountable for.

obama didn't have the pledged delegate count locked up until may whereas clinton pretty much had an insurmountable lead after super tuesday

but that misses the point of why sanders ran and why he didn't immediately drop out after clinton basically had the nomination wrapped up

wasnt hillary's delegate count inflated by some fuckery in one state that obama didn't campaign in 'cause rules were broken

she wanted to get michigan and florida's full delegations seated

originally they were to have their entire delegation count voided but the dnc decided to give them a 50% penalty instead
