But people are stupid and they DID vote wrong. They had a choice and they chose wrong.

No, we voted for Bernie. He won the primary and for some reason Hilary was the candidate. That was the beginning of the end. We didn’t vote for Harris to be our candidate either. THAT is how Trump wins. The majority did not want trump either time he ran for president, but the DNC made sure he won by putting in their least popular candidate. It’s a dog and pony show. Both sides are working for the same people.

"Before won the primary" is a different reality from the one we live in. Even if you remove the superdelegates and only look at the ones decided by popular vote, Hillary won that primary.

I wanted president Bernie Sanders and voted as such. But I actually live in THIS reality and don't waste my energy whatabouting if an election had gone differently.

They're describing where the Democrats failed and how we got where we are today. It's a posthumous assessment. That's not whataboutism.
