    I know everyone dunked on this when it happened (including me) but in retrospect it makes me kinda sad.

    Like, I don't think she actually had any influence over how the election turned out. Her bizarre bad takes didn't hurt anyone, I don't think, except herself. I'd say she needs to go to therapy but she almost certainly is already. She's not poor, but probably not particularly rich either, and seems to have some genuine pain she's (failing to) deal with. Her anger just got redirected somewhere totally unproductive, aimed at the anonymous "Bernie bros."

    I guess I can't really put it into words, but it just seems sad.

      You might be right but after seeing so many bullshit articles and posts about how both B*rnie and Corbyn are traumatic I can't see this and think of it as anything other than pure cynicism.
