not my words...thoughts?
To the candidate who thought she had it in the bag lol:
You and your cabal at the DNC/DLC, Center for American Progress, Podesta Group et al illegally tipped the scales in the Democratic primary to pass you the throne despite it being clear that the Progressive Left is the major viable arm of the Democratic party. Yet you still refused to beg the Left's forgiveness and completely change your corporatist/war-mongering ways and secure our support, requisite to win the general. No, you spat in the face of the Left, appointed a Wall St. crony in Tim Kaine (the man was so useless that you won the state he governs by less than Obama's margin in 2008) when simply adding Bernie to the ticket would've won a resounding victory. Bernie alone would've wiped the floor with Trump and nothing could convince me otherwise. Further note that women did not come out in droves for you and neither did the youth vote, again when contrasted with Obama's performances.
The black vote supported you in the primary but when more information was disclosed of the generationally detrimental impact of you and your husband's crime bill of the 1990s and how you facilitated in the creation of corporate prisons, a large segment of voters seemed to have stayed home. What does this say about you and your history of cronyism/war-mongering? Your failure to allow light to shine on your errors (disclose your dumb emails and Wall St. tapes immediately - voters are much more forgiving than you think; proven by the citizenry's ability to overlook Trump's disgustingness) and sheer tone-deafness to a populous that would rather Russia allegedly commit espionage than be dragged into further unjust wars and horrific trade agreements that disenfranchise the Rust Belt (an area we on the Left should shred you for losing for us a generation at least) was shocking. And to top it all off, you and your supporters have left us to fend off and deal with decisions from a Supreme Court that will inch by inch whittle away at the rights of minorities to vote, invade women and other people's privacy and gerrymander the political landscape to ensure the Republican party's viability for at least two generations to come.
For that alone, you and all those comprising the center of the Democratic Party owe the country an apology and should slither away from "public service" and hopefully from anything to do with politics (God knows each and every one of you will find employment as some filthy lobbyist/political consultant by tomorrow morning) and allow the Progressive wing to fix the country. Today is not a sad day but a day of recompense. We let this happen.
He will serve a short term. I'd be surprised if he even has the will to finish one term. The hope is by then, a Progressive candidate will be thrust on the scene to truly represent the ideals of all Americans (even the many who voted for the first time and saw Trump as the better evil than Clinton). Even the super power that we are sometimes requires a wake up call. That day is here.
