(1,151 posts)If you really cared about the Sanders movement you would look at what went wrong and how to fix it because it wasn't supposed to be about one election, right? But a lot of lefties simply do not want to face the fact that their political instincts are in dire need of recalibration, and that a lot of their political tactics are more about grandstanding and asserting their purity than about achieving change. I don't know where this crap came from, maybe it was picked up from Republicans because that's how they approach defeat, it's never them, it's the voters or some other outside factor.
The sooner you admit that "the left" is a fucking shitshow the sooner we can get to work on fucking fixing it. Hillary won EVERY marginalized group, and she actually won people making under 30k after the first few states. Instead of blaming other people and then whining whenever people point out why it happened, start thinking about why it happened and how it can improve for future campaigns and movements.
