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 have forgotten nothing and learned nothing, then.

As a rational person, I have to conclude that the campaign that lost the election had a bigger role to play in defeat than obvious scapegoats like Sarandon, Brie, etc. The campaign had one job.

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 …

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.

That is, again, a load of horse crap. You promoted the bullshit notion that Trump won't endanger abortion rights in this very thread, undermining her warning at the time. Undermine a strong candidate then do an "oops, she was actually weak" is shameless doubling down.

So your position is my trolling tweets telling right-wingers that Trump will appoint Peter Thiel to legalize harvesting baby parts had a bigger impact on election than decisions made by Robby Mook etc. to not emphasize economic populism. Amazing. Partisanship is a hell of a drug
