(116,617 posts)There is a difference between learning and browbeating. I think that the body of your work in this forum with your nightly observations and questions indicate that you have moved from the former and into the latter. When you feel obligated to include a statement that "I'm not bashing the nominee," then the reaction I have when I read that comment is to believe the opposite.
The election is done and Clinton allocated the resources logically based upon the polling available. Looking in hindsight to say that she should have been more vocal on a particular issue or she should have campaigned one more time in a specific state which would result in winning the election is speculative, counter-productive and insulting to the people that worked on her campaign and voted for her.
There is very little left to learn about what happened in the general election, save perhaps the extent that the Russians manipulated the system and we are pursuing the leads of that investigation. That issue alone should be the impetus for Democrats to unite and prevent if we want to return to the White House.
