It was the Clinton campaign. Hers was the one campaign that spent the bulk of its resources on organizing the grass roots, on voter registration and turnout efforts. Others spent enormous amounts of money on corporate ad buys. That's not grass roots. Just because people have money to fill campaign coffers and fund PACs doesn't make them more "grassroots" than those who make phone calls and knock on doors.
Turner choose to work against grassroots Democrats and put Trump in office, and she has doubled down on her commitment to keeping him there. Two days after the GOP passed a bill deregulating banking, she gave them cover by making a speech insisting Democrats were worse on Wall Street. Trump, the GOP, and the big banks thank her for her tireless efforts on their behalf.
Note, she has also pledged to endorse Republicans. She repeatedly shows greater contempt toward Democrats than toward corporations, banks, or the Nazis. Trump's election was a victory for her and those like her, and they are determined to extend their success by getting more Republicans elected, by continuing to trash the Democratic Party AND its 67 million voters.
Long life the tyranny of donuts and water.
