I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.

Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.

Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.

She didn't campaign in Wisconsin following the party conventions, and her weak campaign in Michigan and Pennsylvania lost her what had been Democratic strongholds. She didn't campaign in those states as much because she wrongly assumed she didn't have to, whoops.

Those are the three states that were key to her loss, and yes, one of them she didn't campaign at all in during the general election.

Well now that's changing the tone. From "She lost the EC in states she didn’t campaign in." to "She didn't go to Wisconsin". Something she literally regrets and talks about frequently.

Democratic Convention ended July 28th. That gives her 103 days to election day. Obviously she's going has to prioritize. You can blame it on poor strategy, but your malicious twist is silly.
