Was Hillary's loss the best thing to ever happen to the Democrats?

Yeah, losing the Supreme Court for a generation in exchange for fleeting electoral victories where they won't be able to accomplish a damn thing due to divided government sure was worth it.

But we get to see more blue on the map or something, so I guess that's enough for Atlas.

This, and also the millions of people who have suffered or will suffer or even die under Trump's policies.

Look, I got no love for Hillary, but the left coalition winning is always better,
1) because you get to enact left policies
2) because winning makes it easier to win in the moderate and long term, not harder

you can't play some ridiculous three dimensional chess that is impossible to play and never pans out the way you think

I want to add to my original post also that our planet is going to be destroyed and literally millions will die prematurely because of it, and while Hillary is evil overall and weak on climate issues, like virtually all American politicians, there is an ocean of difference between her and our climate denier in chief, and Hillary would have worked with the international community to combat or curb climate change at least to some extent, not turn the presidency into a platform for lethally pernicious nonsense and further destroy our world.

This issue without a doubt effects everyone; unfortunately some people were too childish to realize that being an adult means making the meaningful, correct choice between the lesser of two evils in order to make some gains and prevent further losses, not blow up the world because you don't have someone inspiring or morally pure to vote for and identify with.
