I don't think DU was. I don't think the USA was. I truly have no idea what you could be talking about. Anyone writing like the Salon article was an illiberal arsehole. We knew it then, and we know it now. He hates Hillary Clinton, and did all he could to stop her being elected. Look at this hit piece from Nov 2015: https://www.salon.com/2015/11/30/more_like_reagan_than_fdr_im_a_millennial_and_ill_never_vote_for_hillary_clinton/

It was obvious to anyone that Trump would be a disaster; we knew he loved killing people (look at his wish for the Central Park Five to be executed, even after their exoneration). There was no area in which he'd be better for anyone (apart from millionaires and despots) than Hillary.

It's not 'unfair' to drag it out; the question is just whether it's worth it. Since Bragman's still an apologist for Trump, despite claiming to be a Sanders supporter, I think it is, so that we're reminded what a piece of shit he is, and know to never trust him:
