To do that, we actually have to confront what went on, that isn't about refighting the primary it's about accepting reality about what these opinions were based on, how they were that easily lied to, and how we fix the situation that led people to be so uninformed about things like how government works and how to identify lies, so we don't keep going forward with a deeply ignorant electorate that doesn't know things.
It's wrong to ignore how these few were so duped into staying home, wasting their votes or conned into supporting third parties they know nothing about and have no vested interest in.
To get a clear picture, we need to open our eyes, not just continue the false narrative that it was all about the candidate herself. That's simply not true, the polls and the 66 million people who voted for her expressed that this was not the case.
