I think the failings of the Clinton campaign have been discussed a decent amount. I mean people on the left seem to be tripping over themselves to criticize her.
Seems to me want people don't really want to talk about is the fact Clinton, besides her flaws, besides her shortcomings, still got ****** over really bad. And I mean ****** over on a level we haven't seen in recent history.
By Comey, by Russia, by the media in the final week.
That may be true. Still, her team, and her loyalists that include large blocs of the left, have been pushing narratives to overlook her shortcomings. Grasping at anything from: sexism, third party voters, the electoral college, white lash, bernie bros/Bernie himself, Putin, voter suppression, Comey, the FBI at large, mainstream media, fake news, the list goes on.
Most of those probably have some merit, and are worth some discussion, but with the frame that the reason Trump won is because 1 Clinton and her team, then everything else. Their hubris carried into how they ran the campaign and overall strategy. Their ground game, data, and algorithms were just too much for us plebs to understand. They bought their own bs and did not believe they could possibly lose, which is why they couldn't concede that night. There was probably one guy that brought up the possibility in a meeting and got laughed out of the room.
They are now essentially one step away from asking for an electoral revolt based on the ramifications of their own incompetence, a few weeks after selectively leaking out mischaracterized "possible evidence of vote machine manipulation" which Stein would later carry for them. They will continue to dodge accountability and light bonfires under anything necessary.
