So I guess Clinton and the DNC contributed nothing to this loss.

104. The most heart-breaking thing I learned

is that it is a genuine, costly hardship for some people to vote because in certain places the system has devised clever (but legal) obstacles that prevent them from exercising their franchise. I got a good look at exactly how privileged I am. I respectfully suggest that the author of the Huffpo screed do the same.

When the author of the Huffpo piece belittles the ground game, he is belittling me. I was the ground game. The author should be examining how Trump managed to win without ever setting up anything resembling an organization.

I guess it helps to have a propaganda arm in Breitbart News, a complicit MSM that covers rallies and ignores policy speeches, pundits who criminalize mistakes and normalize outright sexism and bigotry, and unprecedented meddling from an FBI director and a foreign government. And even with all this, Clinton got more votes than anyone.

It just seems odd to blame Clinton's "arrogance" for the loss. I know that this critique plays well in some circles and that some in those circles were secretly rooting for a Trump win as some sort of vindication of their own entitlement, but it doesn't help all those people who found it onerous to vote, made their best efforts nonetheless, and counted on the privileged to get over their snit and do the right thing.

I'll say it again.

I was the ground game, and I'll stack my efforts to fight the good fight in the interests of my country and my fellow countrymen and women against the author's any day of the week.
