I had a number of opinions during the primary, but at this point, I am highly invested in not relitigating the 2016 primary. We have a real chance to remake the party into something better now, and I think that is all that matters.
-To make the party better, an understanding of how it went bad is warranted.
"Bernie Bros" are certainly nowhere near the cause of the downfall of the Democratic Party. They were a stalking horse invented by Clinton-loyalist psychos to try to explain away the Sanders movement as one fueled by sexism rather than a sincere social democratic movement.

And this, Virginia, is why it is easier to say we need to move on from the 2016 primaries than it is to actually do it. Instead of reacting with consolation and conciliation (i.e. We're all in this together -we need each other) in the wake of Hillary Clinton's defeat, they vengefully and opportunistically launched a blame game, seeking to marginalize anyone who didn't support Bernie Sanders with the intention of launching a hostile takeover. So, I hope you understand the bitterness and hard feelings that reign supreme right now.Yeah, how dare people try to point out the reason why we lost?
