    In 2016 Democrats ran a widely disliked neoliberal through a heavily biased primary and wonder why they lose.

        She was shady. She was manipulative. I saw it firsthand during the Iowa caucuses of 2016 when she sent out a guide on “how to run a caucus” with a bunch of stuff that was intentionally misleading to favor an establishment candidate.

            Not suggestions, misinformation. Like it lied about how a caucus should be run, lied about what happens in a disagreement, lied about how delegates have to vote. Like someone in our precinct ended up calling the Iowa DNC to confirm that information that Clinton’s campaign provided was wrong.

        She’s generally dislikable. Calling anyone who doesn’t like her a sexist is an example of the attitude that continues to help the Republicans win elections.
