And now Larry Lessig is attempting to start a civil war. Awesome.

It’s been supremely disappointing watching the Dems choose a bad candidate, fall behind her like snuffling puppy dogs, and then attempt to avoid the consequences of their own inadvisable and kooky choices.

The election was conducted by the candidates with the rules as laid out. If the rules and expectations had been different, both would’ve run much different campaigns. It was no mystery that we had this thing called an “Electoral College” beforehand nor why there was a really high chance that Hillary Clinton would lose there while possibly winning the popular vote. Hell, this is why I said this and many other did too before the election — her strong areas in the primaries were precisely the ones where she had little chance of winning.

I am disappointed and saddened that Trump won. He’s not someone I ever would vote for.

However, I am even more disappointed and saddened that members of the Democratic party are now just as howling at the moon delusional and redistributive of blame as the worst of the right wing conspiracy theorists. It’s been at a remove sociologically interesting to watch how the narrative has shifted in mere days to some small measure of blame-taking to “We did nothing wrong and neither did the media! It was those rednecks and misogynist Nazis, including all the Dems who did not show up to vote for the most uninspiring, neoliberal candidate since ever! Nazis all!”

This means that nothing will change.

Good luck with starting that civil war, Larry. What the fuck.
