I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.
Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.
Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.
What malicious twist? The well-documented fact that part of her campaign strategy was to make it seem like the craziest and most extreme Republican candidates represented Republicans? She wanted them to lose the middle because people would see how nuts they were. Well, she got what they wanted, and now being totally crazy is associated with Republicans, but turns out people loved it.
It's not a "malicious twist" to be able to admit that she did this to herself and us through bad campaigning and wrong focus. I blame her incompetence for bringing us Trump as much as I blame the incompetence of Trump voters for voting for him.
Or is the real issue I'm not allowed to call her incompetent because sHe'S tHe mOsT qUaLiFiEd cAnDiDaTe wE'vE eVeR hAd?"
She fucking lost to a diaper-wearing reality show host with orange fucking skin and syphilis. Fat lot of good those credentials did.
