I don’t know what pisses me off more- the fact that Trump won or the fact as soon as Trump won, we get “should have nominated Bernie”, hey here’s an original thought, maybe if you wanted Bernie to be nominated, he should have ran a better fucking campaign. I’ve come to like Bernie more but please do not insist we should have ignored the will of our party’s voters by nominating someone who wasn’t even in our party until last year and was far from a perfect candidate. You got the most progressive DNC platform of your lifetime and just because a seventy plus year old from a lily white state wasn’t the nominee doesn’t mean you get to bitch.

It’s already begun—a friend just forwarded this facebook post from one of our more obnoxious local bros—makes me want to barf—or clock the asshole.

None of the smug establi-Dems wanted to hear about enthusiasm gaps or wooing millennial voters … instead of trying to win over the Sanders bloc they were “preaching down” to us and scolding us to “get in line.”

This. Is on. Y O U … and I was saying it all along. You hitched OUR wagon to a deeply flawed candidate we ALL knew rarely polled north of 49%.

I’ll be accepting apologies and acknowledgements from y’all in this thread or in person or personal message if you prefer to do so in shame and under cloak of privacy.
