    All Democrats had to do back then was have someone else run other than Hillary - ANYONE else would have done just fine.

    My father, who was openly fascist long before it was “ok” in right wing circles and thinks anyone to the left of Hitler is a Communist, said prior to the 2016 election that if it was Trump vs Bernie Sanders, he would vote for Bernie. The only person who could convince him to choke back the vomit and vote for Trump was Hillary.

    Since 2008, I had been saying that the left wing refused to understand how hated Hillary is. She should have never been within 1000 yards of the nomination. You don’t need to like what the right is saying, but we should all at least listen, if only to know what we’re up against.
