Hillary Clinton continues to blame others for her failures

Over the course of nearly eight years, Hillary Clinton has been entrenched in continual post-election analysis of the 2016 Presidential election. She has consistently dwelled on the same subject, despite major events that have since taken place in our nation, rendering 2016 a distant memory. It is time for her to move on, yet she remains fixated on exploring blame and creating new excuses for her defeat by Donald Trump.

Clinton is actively seeking out scapegoats to account for her loss. In her latest analysis, she has turned to women as her targets, attributing their abandonment to their loyalty to the old Clinton adversary, James Comey, who reopened the investigation into her private email just before the election, branding her actions as “extremely careless.”

In an interview with the New York Times, Clinton stated, “But once he did that to me, the people, the voters who left me, were women.”

She suggests that these women were unwilling to take a risk on her because as a woman, she was expected to be flawless, while they were more willing to take a chance on Trump despite his numerous imperfections because of his gender. She insinuates that these women were swayed by societal expectations and failed to see her as a viable candidate.

Clinton has a long history of assigning blame to various entities. She even authored a book in 2017 titled “What Happened,” where she initially took some responsibility for her loss but then went on to blame factors such as Russian interference, the media, Bernie Sanders, and even Barack Obama for not doing more to support her.

Despite Clinton’s attempts to shift blame onto different groups, the reality is that she displayed overconfidence, neglected crucial states, and lacked likability during her campaign. Her inability to appeal to a broad base of voters ultimately contributed to her defeat.

Her fixation on her loss mirrors the behavior of the very man she criticizes, as both demonstrate an unwillingness to accept responsibility. Blaming women as a collective entity for her loss fails to recognize that women are diverse individuals with differing views and reasons for voting the way they did. The women who supported Trump were not avoiding electing a woman to the White House but simply did not connect with Clinton as a candidate.

If Clinton wishes to blame a woman for her loss, she need only look in the mirror.
