From Elizabeth Warren's FB page last night [View all]

A year ago today, Hillary Clinton earned three million more votes than Donald Trump. She fought Trump. And Russian interference. And FBI interference. And an alt-right media. And in any other democracy on Earth, she would be President right now.

So let’s be really clear: We are not the minority party. We are the opposition party. A party with brains, a party with guts, and a party with heart.

And last night, we proved it.

For 365 days, everyone has had an opinion about what went wrong last year. The pundits. (“I always knew…”) The partisans. (“Of course this loss happened because they…”) Lots of political types certain that they could have done it all much, much better.
