12. Uh, Dubya was part complicit media, part FL voting shenanigans, part Lieberturd, part SCOTUS.

Lieberturd moved Gore away from the Clinton positives and dragged the party to the center-right.

Trump was a complicit media, Russian Interference, Comey's October Surprise, voter suppression, Republican Small State strategy and an undercurrent of toxic masculinity, white fragility and sexism.

Neither Bernie or his supporters turned Ohio as deep-red as Texas (losing 10 Obama-won counties), nor did they turn WI, MI or PA (strangely, each by a 1% margin).

Blaming some mythical "extreme left" for Hillary's loss hangs ALL Democratic voters. We need to look at the real reason behind her loss, and that's the money and players behind Trump.
