I'm a socialist. I supported Hillary because I knew that Bernie was a media construction and didn't have a chance of winning. I liked the stuff he said, but it seems I wanted what he said he wanted more than he did.
I live in Texas. So, though all my friends voted for Hillary, most of the people I know voted for the asshole.
If we don't come to understand that any Democrats were played in the last election just as badly as republicans, we sill see nine scalias on the Supreme Court. Had the "Bernie or Bust" people voted for Hillary, or if the delusional jerks who voted third party voted for Hillary, or if the dupes who couldn't bring themselves to vote for "the monster Hillary" voted for Hillary -- if any of those had happened, we would not be in the mess we are now.
We won the election but lost the electoral college even with comey and the Russian high command and the fox propaganda machine working 24/7. We don't need to go off the rail. We can't get the deplorable insane people to vote for us. We just have to get the sane people to pay attention.
