(2,198 posts)She is being accused of blaming everyone except herself. That is a blatant lie. She has taken full responsible for HER OWN ACTIONS AND WHAT SHE DID DURING THE CAMPAIGN. But she also is pointing out the other factors that were at play in helping to defeat her. In this, she has been totally correct but some do not want to hear it. They would rather just say that she was a "bad candidate" part of the party " elites" out of touch with the average American (when, in fact, her entire campaign was focused on what needs to be done for improving the lives of average Americans). Russian interference, Mercer money, media perpetuation of fake news and virtually shutting off her economic message in favor of covering blowhard Trump's visceral bloviating all contributed to the Democrats losing the electoral votes in three critical states. Add to that mix the overt voter suppression carried out by the GOP at every level and you get sad, sad picture of our current situation.
