Hillary Throws Shade at Bernie: 'Fundamentally Wrong' About Democratic Party

166. Whataboutism.

That year's contest had some rough moments, but nothing as damaging as 2016. Yeah he said "You're likable enough, Hillary" during a debate. He also repeatedly slammed her vote for the Iraq war. But the race was closed in early June when Clinton dropped out as Obama led by less than 200 delegates. She didn't then throw half-hearted support behind Obama. She offered a full throated endorsement and campaigned hard for him. Because she understands the importance of electing Democrats. At roughly the same point in time, Clinton lead Sanders by 771 delegates, including superdelegates (and by almost 300 pledged delegates), yet he refused to get out of the way. He kept bashing the party and our nominee. His supporters started harassing people and things started turning violent prompting fears of a 1968 repeat. While mildly condemning that behavior, he tried to justify their anger saying the Democrats weren't being fair or transparent. When he did drop out, his support was tepid at best.

I hope Hillary goes on to speak about this every opportunity she gets and I hope the Democrats are never stupid enough to give money to some outside spoiler who whines about party establishment except when it has benefited said outsider for the past 25 years.

Enough is enough.
