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

356. Again, avoiding the issue.....

We lost because we lost in states where the people you and others on here are fixated with have zero influence. Zero. The idea that Hillary lost Ohio, and PA, and Michigan because of the influence of Susan Sarandon and Cornel West rather than anything the party itself did or how they chose to campaign or how they chose to allocate their funds and resources and the assumptions that they relied on is absurd.

I criticize the party from within as someone who has voted for and campaigned and donated in in every Democratic primary, and for the Democrat in every general election since 1986. Including 2016. And I saw a lot of failures from within our infrastructure and with our tactics and with our approach that contributed WAY more toward us losing the election than some professor that almost nobody has heard of and an actress who hasn't worked regularly in almost 25 years.

Go ahead. Keep thinking that. Keep obsessing over has beens with zero influence and zero forums, and shun all responsibility from our party and it's leaders. Let's see how that keeps working out for us. It will be perfect because it requires nothing on our part. No change, no responsibility, no introspection. Just blame and projections. Why wouldn't we go that route.

Edit: Aaaaaaah. Never mind. I realize what's going on now. There is a "Don't keep refighting the primary" rule in effect so "Cornel West and Susan Sarandon" are code/shorthand for something else on this site and why I keep seeing such an obsession over them. Got it.
