It’s not that Hillary was colluding with Trump for an easy win. That every progressive who fought tooth and nail for her (Cory Booker, Michelle and Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Wendy Davis..etc) had somehow all collectively sold out on their beliefs and gone to the dark side.

The true scandal is something much older and time tested. Simply put:
It’s not easy to get people to show up to vote on public policy. Especially if that policy centers around cutting taxes for the wealthy, removing access to healthcare, and cutting services for the very poor. But it is easy to get people out to vote if you are unscrupulous enough to convince them that their neighbors are the cause of their suffering and that their champions are their enemies.

We are right to believe that there are hidden forces exerting influence in our democracy. There always will be because where there is power there will also be cronyism, rigging, and abuse. However, we have to not become so vigilant in searching for villains that we forget that history is also filled with decent but flawed public servants who are crucified by the very people they are trying to help.
