The media did her no favors by painting her as a landslide winner throughout. One has to wonder how many of her followers chose to stay home rather than endure the long lines. Also she was so despised by most of Bernie's followers many not very mature. I could venture to guess many of them also voted for Trump.

can you blame them?

I think her expectation was that Bernie's followers would just fall into line after she won the nomination, ala her supporters did for Obama in '08. But, with all the controversy around the entire nomination, those people felt abandoned by their own party, so they made their voice heard loud and clear by NOT going to the polls to endorse her, or even worse, they endorsed her opponent.

Obviously this is all very fresh for the country, but the Democratic party should stop looking at factors outside of their own party to blame for their loss. IMO, this was a self-destruct on their part, and it should further prove that people don't always vote for whomever their party props up in front of them. Also, the fact that Democrats immediately started to question or insinuate that Bernie would have won easy, speaks to how divided the party was.

lastly, the Libertarians and Gary Johnson didn't help out the Democrats either

Bri I agree to a point, but the larger issue for her, if you listen to exit polling and remove all of the minutia - this was simply a change election and she was clearly representing 4 more years of failed economic policies with no clear vision of what her plan was, or how she was going to implement it.

It was, quite literally, all platitudes and Trump bashing.

The exposure of the DNC fix against Bernie, and more importantly the fact that this shill went on the stump for her even after they screwed his supporters, kept them away and disillusioned.

For the record, Bernie would have been obliterated by Trump. It would not have even been close.

They didn't help Trump either - but they are vital to the process if we are EVER going to get away from a 2 party system. A candidate has to win over the electorate - folks that are blaming Gary Johnson/ Jill Stein for President Elect Trump in my opinion are severely misguided.

Yeah the dem establishment voter was not going to the polls for Bernie and the Never Trump camp wouldn't do their pearl clutching routine since Bernie isn't part of the false left-right neocon warmonger circle.
