Permalinkblaming the voters for their loss rather than themselves. Instead of
asking what it is about themselves which drove people to someone like
Donald Trump, people like Bernie Sanders are saying they haven't gone
to the left far enough!

I have seen so many post-mortem opinion pieces where the Democrats are
blaming the voters for their loss rather than themselves. Instead of
asking what it is about themselves which drove people to someone like
Donald Trump, people like Bernie Sanders are saying they haven't gone
to the left far enough!
'Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.' -John F. KennedyI have seen so many post-mortem opinion pieces where the Democrats are

I studied group dynamics in college, and one of the psychological
outcomes of defeat is the group becomes less cohesive, more likely to
splinter and go their separate ways. And the reverse is true of a
successful group effort -team members on a successful project are far
more likely to work together on another project.
The Trump supporters that united together to defeat the looney left are,
to quote Marco Rubio: “the most diverse coalition of American voters in
modern history". As counterintuitive as it seem, the Trump victory may
actually have the effect of uniting the country more than dividing it.
