Hillary and by extension many leftist women in the face. We just suffered a resounding Non-defeat, winning the popular vote by 3 million and loosing due to political technicalities. We have yet to recover. I am being Really Really turned off by this continuous Anti Hillary Misogyny from the left. I will not be in a party that hates women and does not understand that I will not support any man who does not support women. If this keeps up we will certainly loose the election in 2020 to Trump, thanks once again to the Non-democrats splitting this party.

There are lots of people who like Bernie Sanders AND Elizabeth Warren more than they like Hillary.

I have seen much worse directed at Harris, Feinstein and Pelosi, our active Senators who are fighting daily for us.

Russian hacking?

Poor campaign decisions vis a vis WI/MI/PA?

James Comey?

A candidate who had huge negatives outside the Dem base, even before the campaign began?

Any one of those things could have made the difference.

Sanders was not the problem, unless you feel Clinton should have been anointed. He waged a civil campaign, and I think he went easier on her, compared to how rough Clinton was on Obama in 2008. And Obama went on to beat McCain, who I think was a much tougher candidate to beat than Trump.
