I don't want to stop the bashing of non-Clinton voters from 2016, but that's over and done with.

Right now we're FUCKED, and have to figure out how to deal with that reality.

we lost the race. For four years we have been counting to the day of another vote, hoping we made it and here we sit in Sept, just over a month before our vote. Remembering how we said SC over and over and over and privilege told us, meh. A handful of months shy. Ya, people are angry all over again.

I don’t understand how that isn’t already everyone’s reality right now. Doesn’t mean give up, it means the actions of a bunch of assholes put us in this position and some of us tried to stop it.

The opinion of the author is that Sanders would have a better chance in the general election. This article was about the primary.

Find me an article with the same view in October 2016 when HRC was our nominee and Trump was theirs and I’ll agree with you in shaming that author and those who supporter her.

He was working for the Trump campaign in more than one way (and as noted below, started openly supporting Trump after the 2016 election). Whether he is controlled by Russians, Trumpists, or is just an asshole without being paid to be one, I don't know.

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg is fine and the New York Times writes that she has "no interest in retiring." Justice Scalia isn't stepping down from the U.S. Supreme Court soon and will only contemplate retirement when he "can't do the job well." Anthony Kennedy is in "no rush" to leave the Supreme Court. Justice Breyer has no plans to step down but will "eventually" retire one day."
