Hillary Clinton has taken responsibility for her loss: she said openly that she had made mistakes in the campign. She's said it repeatedly. Apparently she has not said it enough for those who have a weird, twisted desire to see a woman flogged in public. She ALSO said what we all know to be true: that Russian interference and Comey played a significant role in her loss, significant enough to essentially have caused the loss. And this must be true, because even a MAN has confirmed it (one by the name of Nate Silver).
But no, the misogynists want more, more, more. Flog her, beat her to a pulp, brand a letter on her forehead, throw rotten tomatoes at her, burn her on the stake... And when that is done, then we can turn our attention to other women, like Elizabeth Warren, whom Lakoff (that venerable progressive) has recently called "shrill." Let the new onslaught begin. Burn the witches.
Oh, sarcasm thingy...
