Sigh. Nothing demonstrates the problem with the Democratic voters than to get angry after they fail.


Frankly, this is the sort of response he's rallying about when he calls out those who immediately pivoted to only "healing the divide".

Why is this about _democratic voters_? Not only can I call out (as does the original article) how this happened but inverted during the obama years, but it seems like a natural human reaction to be pissed off when something you so abhor takes power over you, and to shut that down falls into the same "going to ignore distasteful opinions I don't find appropriate" trap that contributed to getting us into this situation in the first place.

It's perfectly fine to be angry if your candidate loses, and to take actionable steps to make sure it doesn't happen in the future. This is called learning from mistakes, and to demonize it is... I don't even know what it is. Impractical or unrealistic, to say the least.
