Don't blame the voters.  Blame the losers.  They had all the advantages Trump lacked: vast amounts of money, GOTV operations and every flavor of expert, and they still managed to lose.  They simply sucked.

I blame the voters. The Democrats offered plenty. They didn't have the best possible candidate, and didn't pay enough attention to the Rust Belt and other red-state places. Of course. But I still blame the voters. We could have had a very good president, much better than she was as a candidate. The voters couldn't see that. They wanted the freak show instead. Well, 77,000 voters in 3 states did, for an electoral college win, that is. I am very well aware of whom Americans vote for; I've studied that, remember? Americans often simply do not vote properly; that is, when they bother to vote at all. It's always the peoples' fault if the wrong choice is made. That's democracy.

It's not the job of the voter to sell a political agenda.  That's all on the politicians.  The Dems have sucked since the DLC took over in the '90s, and they only gotten sores with time.  I thought BHO would be the change agent that reset their thinking, but obviously not.

We can agree on that much. Democrats need to do their job, and haven't done it as well as they could have.
