If Hillary propped Trump up and lost, they’ve learned nothing because in 2022 Biden repeated history by propping up Trump as a worthy contender, welcoming him to a rematch, leading to another spectacular loss. These Democrats deserve to lose. They screwed us over and over.
After losing to Trump in 2016, there was no introspection on the part of the Democratic Party but instead HRC used a discredited opposition research paper her campaign and the DNC had paid for (the Steele Dossier) to claim Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election.
Ultimately there was no smoking gun but there was also no introspection on the part of the Democratic Party.
In 2020, Bernie's campaign began with momentum but as it became clear Sanders would emerge as the Democratic Presidential Candidate Obama called on Democrats to coalesce around Joe Biden.
And the "Russia, Russia, Russia" hysteria that consumed so much of the corporate press for the next 2 years, blotting out any calls for that introspection, began as narcissism-serving spin by Clinton herself. From "Shattered," by Clintonite journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes:
...the necessary implication being, of course, that presidents--if they're Clinton--have the godlike ability to "end racism" and "end sexism," and that talk of actual real-world progressive policy that could assist in striving for those goals should be disparaged.

During the campaign Hillary pivoted to "wokeness" to attack Bernie Sanders as not having enough POC support.
"Would breaking up the banks end racism" - HRC
And Russiagate began.

We were all very tired of Trump by 2020 and he lost by some 7 million+ votes.
Biden went on to support and arm a genocide in Gaza that ultimately sunk his successor (w/ no primary).
Genocide wasn't Brat.
Back tracking on trans rights, abandoning their pro immigrant stance and calling for the "most lethal" military wasn't either.
You probably won't find this analysis too many places on Bluesky.
Instead you'll hear how Harris ran a perfect campaign and voters are actually the ones that failed her.
