She’s doing this as a blame game, blame everyone else for her incompetence and to whitewash her history knowing most voters have political amnesia. She and the party needs to be reminded at every opportunity that we have not forgotten who they are and what they’ve done

The very mention of Hillary Clinton’s name, for instance, drew no fewer than two separate rounds of applause. Clinton, Harris noted, had mentored her on the campaign trail.

“I think this campaign and this book is more of an example of how you can win, or how you can get close to [winning],” Don, a 31-year-old New Yorker, told me. “This was one of the closest elections in this century… so it almost happened.” Others considered it solely a matter of sexism and racism. “I think by that all accounts, we want to keep women down as a society, and unfortunately, she was a consequence of that,” said Stephanie, a 36-year-old New Yorker.

What an empty vessel to pour your hopes and dreams into.
