..pipe helped Trump, who crushed the entire republican field anyway. It's not even close. There are ample evidence that you and Bern's dismissive attack on Hillary (even after the primary was settled) helped Trump in his razor thin victory in general election.

Bernie campaigned hard for Clinton. Stop blaming other people for the failures of the Democratic establishment and do some introspection.

When I do introspection on 2016 I have to conclude my main fault as a writer was I wasn't hard enough on the Clinton campaign and how they bungled things. I really didn't give that the attention it deserved.

You also had a job. How did you discharge that job? You say: I was right and I should have doubled down. It is a bit astonishing that even in retrospective, you can't admit the slightest error. (Saying I should have been louder is humblebragging, not admitting error).

I did admit a big error: not being critical enough of Clinton campaign. If you go through my articles for 2015/2016, only a small fraction are even mildly critical. https://newrepublic.com/authors/jeet-heer …

So....doubling down on your butthurtness.

I'm not sure what doubling down means (or even buttheart). For most of 2016 I thought Clinton was a strong candidate and expected her to trounce Trump. I overlooked, ignored or was blind to flaws in her campaign. I wish I had done better & listened to her critics. Mea culpa.
