    “Before won the primary” is a different reality from the one we live in. Even if you remove the superdelegates and only look at the ones decided by popular vote, Hillary won that primary.

    I wanted president Bernie Sanders and voted as such. But I actually live in THIS reality and don’t waste my energy whatabouting if an election had gone differently.

      They’re describing where the Democrats failed and how we got where we are today. It’s a posthumous assessment. That’s not whataboutism.
