What I have learned about the election on DU

[BainsBane]

107. You must feel gratified

That she lost so you get to say I told you so. Now if you can only figure out how to keep the inferior "third way defenders" from voting, you can have the party you always wanted. The GOP is working diligently on doing that for you. The people they target are the very "third way defenders" you hold in such disdain-- because ultimately it was the subaltern that delivered Clinton the vast majority of her votes in the primary and the GE, like we have for every other Democrat in recent decades.

I do find fascinating the complete lack of interest in policy in the many posts like yours I've read. People throw around terms like third way with no concern for what they mean in terms of policy positions or what our nominee actually proposed. It's unfortunate that those who continually malign Clinton and the 65 million Americans who voted for her never bothered to read her policy positions. It's easier to throw around labels anyway. Who cares if it bears absolutely no relation to 2016 or the positions Hillary ran on. Certainly not you. You're very good at media memes though. And really, that's all that matters in post-truth America. I don't pretend to be in fashion. I care about substantive policy, not slogans. I don't claim to have my finger on the pulse of the low information voter. I make my own voting decisions based on a candidate's preparedness, competence, and how substantive their proposed policies are. I plan to continue doing so. If that prompts you to see me as the enemy, so be it.

You didn't keep your mouth shut. You've made similar insults many times before. That approach was widespread during the primary, yet you all are still amazed Sanders lost. It still hasn't occurred to any of you that insulting voters day in and day out doesn't increase one's candidate's prospects. I guess it would be different if I were a racist Republican. Then I might be worthy of respect, but being a life-long Democrat makes me a "third way defender" and beneath contempt.
