    And her opponent is a misogynistic chauvinist who mocks people with disabilities, diddles children, cheats on his wives, openly talks about sexually assaulting people, has open ties with Putin and Kim Jong-un, honestly I’d be here all day if I tried to scratch just the surface.

    Yet voters were okay with him over a milquetoast career politician. She was held to a much higher standard than Trump ever was, hell she still is given that she is somehow being blamed for the farce that is Trump. Why don’t people blame him instead?

      She never made a real attempt to meet the voters where they were. Bernie and Trump are both populists, and that was what the people wanted. They wanted–and still want–someone that makes them believe that their candidate will fight for them. Trump excites his base, because they feel like he’ll punish the people that they hate.

        LITERALLY. Didn’t visit Wisconsin during the entire campaign.
