6-Corruption of the mainstream media-- allowing and encouraging supposedly impartial media people to become flaming shills.
7-Corruption of the justice system-- the DOJ and the USA's intelligence agencies.
8-rigging of the election system. The Democrats were out-rigged. They should have learned up elections over the last eight years and they didn't
Now, let's talk about who's to blame. I'm sure that the rabid Hillbots-- supporters of Hillary in the primary-- the people who were the nastiest attackers of Bernie Sanders and his supporters, will blame Bernie Sanders and his supporters, especially the tiny fraction who supported Jill Stein or who stayed home. Sorry dears, but you were either so intoxicated that you were going to elect a first female president or you just bought the propaganda that Hillary was the "most experienced presidential candidate ever" nonsense.
Either way, you ignored the reality that she is a toxically, morbidly flawed, dishonest, corrupt, historically despised candidate. You deluded yourselves to believe that because she'd been Secretary of State she had historic experience. The problem is, the majority of the people of America saw through her experience claims and believed what Bernie said, that her experience was bad experience, including her voting for the Iraq war.
So, first to blame are the Uber-Hillary supporters. They could have been awake and smart enough to, from the grass roots, bottom up, reject the DNC's massive selling of Hillary.
But next, and maybe even more, the DNC and the leadership of the Democratic party are to blame, collaborating with the mainstream media, particularly MSNBC and CNN, for rigging the primary and keeping the candidate who would have won by pulling independents-- Bernie Sanders.
Start with the DNC leadership and the vast majority of Democratic power holders-- all the Superdelegates who committed to Hillary before Bernie Sanders was even in the race. Some were bought by the Clinton foundation. Some were bought by corporations and billionaires. A small few were fools and cowards. Give Elizabeth Warren that small benefit of the doubt-- that she was a fool or coward and hadn't sold out. But be assured, she was a big part of Trump's victory. She should have supported the only progressive candidate.
There is only one way that the people who consider themselves Democrats or left of Republican can respond, and that is to excoriate, ban and purge ALL of the malignantly wrong, failed Democratic leaders. That should happen immediately at the bottom up grass roots level, with an uprising that throws out all the state and local committee people who rigged their state primaries to favor Hillary or to favor the House and Senate picks the corporate shills and power hungry fools at the top of the DNC pecking order designated.
