    If your political platform or candidate cannot withstand Hillary's book tour.... perhaps your platform or candidate is the problem.

        All with a brain and eyes to see is blaming multiple factors which yes, include a populist indie spoiler who rode on white male resentment

        You see I thought he rode the resentment of establishment politics. I'll be voting for Nina Turner in 2020 who is neither white nor male.

        Criticizing public officials & media for poor/harmful choices is our civic duty and is the only way they will improve.

        Well, for starters her two examples stating Bernie copied her policy ideas. Bernie was 1st in both. The infrastructure plan 10 months prior.

        He didn't have an infrastructure policy before HRC. He backed a spending bill. Not the same thing.
