Funny, I've received several warnings over the past few months from DU, saying my posting privileges would be revoked since I was making critical and negative comments towards Democrats, yet posts like this get to go through.

Some of us supported Bernie, not only because we agreed with his policies and liked him, but because we were genuinely concerned that Mrs. Clinton would have problems with getting elected. We're not all Bernie Or Bust voters, and to say that it was Democrats who cost Hillary the election, is pretty insulting.

Besides, I still tend to believe she really did win the Electoral College AND the Popular Vote, but that there was Russian hacking on Election Day, which fixed things for Drumpf. I know.....pure fantasy, but I honestly can't see how she, even with the baggage she was carrying, got beaten by that Buffoon.
