Yes, I totally agree that the DNC unfairly favored Hillary and by the way, that was the only thing the wikileaks were able to prove. Yes, I toally agree that DNC's favoritism toward Hillary was absolutely repudiable. But Hillary was still a highly qualified, intelligent, and well-prepared candidate. You shouldn't have overlooked that. It was very unfortunate that she had a lot of baggage and had very low favorability ratings. I know you'll say she has made many wrong decisions in the past or she hasn't been progressive enough. Those things are easy to say in retrospect. But no one who has been in politics for over 20 years and come out with completely clean hands. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions pleasing half of the country and disappointing the other half. This is what democracy means. You can't always or absolutely please everyone.

I know you are sure that Bernie would have defeated Trump. But how can you be so sure? Trump would have been yelling COMMUNIST at the top of his lungs had Bernie been the nominee. The gullible uneducated white folks that Trump was able to galvanize would have never voted for someone labeled a communist. To win a general election, you need more of a centrist candidate. I really think the BernieOrBusters got it wrong. They should have come together for the country, for the sake of preventing a conservative SCOTUS, for the sake of not undoing the progress that it took the country decades to make. No matter how much you hated Hillary how could you not vote against Trump? How could you not act against normalizing racism, misogyny, sexism, bullying, xenophobia, homophobia, white supremacy????
