Right? Absolutely. That’s what should be going on. But that’s not what’s happening. Why? Because too many Clinton supporters are busy blaming everybody but themselves for their colossal loss.

Most disturbing and offensive are those Clinton supporters — notably not Clinton herself — who are trying to lay all the blame on Sanders. Especially loudmouth Peter Daou, head of Shareblue, who, in the true spirit of Donald Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE, tweeted out: “I’ll be crystal clear: Bernie Sanders has absolutely no business determining the course of the Democratic Party after the harm he did to us.”

Not content with one nuclear attack, he followed up with: “Until certain Dems get over the denial of how badly Bernie damaged Hillary’s public image, we will make little progress as a party.”

To which I call, “B.S.” That is, indeed, total, inflammatory nonsense. It’s based on the premise that the Democratic Party would have been better off if nobody had challenged Clinton in the primaries, if we’d had a coronation, not a contest. Imagine how boring that would have been.

It also ignores the reality of what happened in the primaries. Sanders didn’t “damage” Clinton’s public image. In fact, remember, he rejected his own staff’s recommendation by refusing to make an issue of her use of a private email server, which turned out to be the one issue that hurt her the most.

Nor did Sanders “harm” the Democratic Party. He actually helped both Clinton and the Democratic Party by stirring up new excitement in the primaries, bringing millions of young people into the party and making Clinton a stronger, more progressive candidate. Without him, for example, Clinton would never have opposed the Keystone XL pipeline or the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

And in the general campaign, nobody, with the exception of husband Bill Clinton William (Bill) Jefferson ClintonChelsea Clinton: Trump isn't building public confidence in a vaccine Hillary Clinton launching podcast this month GOP brushes back charges of hypocrisy in Supreme Court fight MORE, worked harder or traveled more widely on Hillary Clinton’s behalf than Sanders.

If, in the end, some of them, especially many millennials, did not, it’s not Sanders’s fault.

This is a critical time for the Democratic Party. Time for the party to do, as Sanders has suggested, what Republicans did after their wipeout in 2012: forget past differences. Pull together. Figure out what went wrong. And completely retool the party with new leadership, a new direction, new message and winning strategy for 2018.

Yes, the Democratic Party can rebuild. But it will never do so until the Clinton campaign first takes responsibility for losing this election all by itslef — and stops blaming Bernie Sanders.
