RIP "coronation" and "her turn." Sad BS memes finally pass their expiration date.

144. I'm not disputing the hard work that many Sanders supporters engaged in

to get Democrats elected or the fact that they predominantly voted for Hillary on November 8. I took several bus trips from NY to PA in September and October to register voters and canvass for Hillary and senate candidate Katie Mc Ginty. Several of the people I worked with (including two on my four person team) were Sanders voters in the primary.

There are several factors that contributed to the loss. I think the primary factor was Comey and the way the press covered his October 28 letter. We had a rogue element of the investigatory arm of a department of the federal government actively working to undermine a presidential candidate and issuing threats and ultimata to the head of the FBI. Where was our vaunted free press on this? Sniffing around for a sex angle that they could snicker about on the air because Anthony Weiner was tangentially involved.

In the end, however, it was the Stein voters and the no shows who could have made the difference, and there was a certain toxic element among them. It's stunning that some of them have come around here to actively gloat. It's mind mind boggling that some of them think that their actions have strengthened their own or Sanders' standing on the political landscape.

Democrats, including Clinton, Obama, and even Sanders himself begged them not to do this. They did it anyway. People who make threats and then carry them out cannot claim the moral high ground. They are not heroes. They are not right. They are ruthless, self-important narcissists. They deserve the contempt of the people who counted on them to do the right thing for the common good.
