In reply to the discussion: The Bernie Support bashing in this forum is disgusting! [View all]TheKentuckian
(26,314 posts)the election season underwater popularity wise and with even worse untrustworthy numbers who then one the primary was won went on some bogus "listening tour" for a dozen people strategically located in broom closets and confession booths around a few states while doing a press blackout (to then have her supporters turn around and wine about lack of coverage?!?), picked a super lame non attack dog VP, and closed the campaign with a vacation and lots of fund raising trips to California.
Then despite her opponent insulting, threatening, or disgusting about ever group of people in the country while displaying an almost incomparable lack of knowledge and an extremely poor temperament she gets creamed on the electoral map to the point of damn near losing Minnesota.
A candidate who's absolutely peak of their popularity over the course of a career was when she was seldom heard from and spent large amounts of time with at least an ocean between herself and the country?
The candidate who when they previously ran said that our eventual nominee was not prepared to be Commander in Chief but the fucking Republican was? The one who ran the 3am phone call ads that needs to be bubble wrapped placed in a force field and only spoken about in adoring terms and melts if the fucking truth is told about her?
Own your political malpractice and arrogant delusions that those 25 year baked in negatives could be hand waved. Even with millions of people like myself mainlining Fabreeze with eleventh million clothes pins coming home in a desperate effort to avoid a know nothing, white nationalist, far right conspiracy theorist, plausible rapist/definite deviant 3am Twitter tantrum having orange fuckwit she still lost.
I think it is more people like you being to blame than even Clinton herself she had every right to try fulfill her ambitions and reach for her dreams but you folks should have the distance and horse sense to say this doesn't add up and as much as we love you the sale is too tough when it is said and done and you are too weak a campaigner to climb out of the hole so we appreciate the service and continue to value your voice but we are going to have to run another horse in the Derby.
You ought to put yourself in the corner, quietly put on a dunce cap, and think about what the hell you could have been thinking about rather than trying to lash out and blame others for your own unforced errors that you and yours insisted on for years.
