""She gave us Trump," disgruntled Sanders supporters like to say. No, Trump's win is the result of many things, and we would do better to try to unpack them with precision and a view to complexity rather than scapegoat Clinton or her campaign."

If you take that reason away, "She gave us Trump" which also implies that the Democratic party did also, you take away the force behind "The model of the Democratic Party is failing". All of that discounts the involvement of the Russians in our election, the public FBI investigation into Clinton while having a serious private Trump investigation, gerrymandering, the media and the simple fact that more people voted for her and for Democrats in most elections. Clinton loosing is not a referendum on the Democratic party and it does not give power to the far left to the point that we need to bow our knees and take being called republican lite without fighting back from sections in and out of our party. The Democratic party is not republican lite, we are not corporate shills, we are not war mongers. We are the party that does the most for most Americans to make a better life and country, period.
