Stein, Sarandon, Cornel West and their ilk own this.

351. I am being very sarcastic.

These people are set up as boogeymen, in an effort to absolve the actual people in charge of the party and the campaigns and the elections of any responsibility. And it's absurd on it's face that the people being mentioned, who are the personification of "coastal elites" would have any effect or impact on voters in rural and rust belt states.

Yeah, sure. Cornel West bears all the responsibility for us losing Ohio and PA, but the DNC and HIllary's campaign managers and media strategists and the people with all the money in the world at their disposal and whose only job it was was to get her elected have zero responsibility or culpability.

It's the type of response and behavior I get from my children when they do something wrong or fail or whatever, and then we try and talk about it and learn from it. "But......Johnny did worse than I did.........but the teacher wasn't being fair......" or whatever else.

The thing is that I don't see anybody saying that the media and other negativity and perception of the party doesn't influence things and have a negative effect. But I see A LOT of people saying that the party itself and the people who were put in charge of this election bear no responsibility.
