    We deserved better. We deserved bernie. I blame hillary clintons ambition and the dnc at the time for trying to force her through. Bernie would have beaten trump the first time.

      If you’re trying to split the difference between finding a specific contemporary individual to blame versus blaming an inherently flawed democracy that contains the seeds of its own destruction, you could do worse than the DNC top brass of the last decade.

      Government full of actual Nazis. Clearance Thomas fireselling Supreme Court decisions. Blame Hillary Clinton.

        I blame her because they put their thumb on the scale of a democratic process. The 2016 primary race was very contenious. The clinton campaign not only used their insider connections in the dnc to directly help her campaign (they are supposed to be agnostic in that process), they also ran a toxic campaign that put off nearly half the base. So much so that a guy like Trump could win in the first place.

        I blame them because they were so fucking reckless in their pursuit of power that they lost to these clowns. The real choice was bernie or trump, and when bernie was no longer an option, people went trump
