Keep litigating the 2016 primary (despite this site's clear objection to doing so)?

Keep blaming the Russians/James Comey/the media/third-party voters/non-voters/electronic voting machines?

Buy Hillary's book? Donate more money to Democrats who haven't come out in support of single-payer just yet, or those who might be willing to compromise on a woman's right to choose?

Frankly, none of these things seem to be the key to winning in 2018 or even 2020. Maybe I'm missing something, though.
