In reply to the discussion: Sure Hillary Made Mistakes But The Election Was Still Fraudulent & Stolen We Damned Well Know It. [View all]sacto95834

Loosing candidates don't write books about why they lost an election. Usually after the concession speech they get off the platform and return to their former jobs and keep a low profile or they find a new way to channel their energy - ie, Habitat for Humanity; climate change, or just being a rich private citizen.
If HRC had just left the platform, nobody would expect her to offer any explanation about her loss. However, for whatever reason, she has chosen to write a book. If it's helpful to her as closure, fine. Have at it. However don't be surprised if you get push back for what you write about, especially if you name names.

Bernie was a losing candidate and you didn't complain about his writing a book. How come?

I like this OP, but I'd like it better if it didn't open with "sure she made mistakes."
