(5,272 posts)fairly say, and he doesn't appear to be saying otherwise, that it was Clinton's hard work over the years making those connections that gave her those advantages in the election. She earned those, but they existed. Whether or not a democratic socialist ever had the opportunity to earn those same inroads, I think you will have to agree, has not been a possibility in corporate America. So it was an opportunity she had and capitalized on that was never there for Sanders. That doesn't mean that her fight in a man's world to get to the top of the game wasn't an admirable one. That doesn't mean that her getting the whole establishment behind her bid wasn't impressive. But its a hell of a thing for an outsider to surmount.
Second, I'm not demanding that Clinton go out there and take responsibility for her loss, though I know others are, and as I posted in my follow up, I think to a degree that is totally unfair. My response to the above post didn't have to do with whether or not I need to hear Clinton own anything, it was about what was actually being said and how somebody was trying to make it say something else entirely.
