Part of being an adult is accepting that sometimes you are wrong about things. You are wrong about Hillary. You are wrong about her supporters.
It is insulting when you rail on about how disrespectful those who support Hillary are to your chosen candidate while advocating for the disenfranchisement of the millions of people who voted for her.
Are those millions of people just stupid? Are all of them the "big money donors?" Or is it possible that the majority of Democrats believe in Hillary's vision for the country? Maybe that's why she got more votes?
Nobody is asking you to go home. We would very much prefer it if you continued to advocate for a positive change. That means working to defeat Trump, and working to turn Congress blue. We can do those things together. But first we have to let go of the fantasy that it would be more fair to somehow give the nomination to the guy that came in second. That is the grown up thing to do.
