A prime example is the 2016 Presidential election. After President Trump’s victory, a percentage of left-leaning Americans blamed the Democratic Party, but for considerably different reasons. Some leftists faulted the DNC leaders, claiming that they rigged the DNC primaries in Hillary Clinton’s favor. People who share this belief furthermore stated that had Sanders won the nomination, Trump may not have won the election. However, at this point, the validity of this statement is impossible to prove.
Republicans and conservatives are also well-known critics of the Democratic Party. The former two groups have slammed their political counterparts for identity politics, sexism, racism, and a series of other offenses. Nevertheless, the Democrats have strongly controverted the aforementioned claims, stating that Republicans are accusing Democrats of what they themselves are guilty of.
As evidenced by Sanders, the condemnation of the Democratic Party remains ongoing. Leftist leaders have even slammed Hillary Clinton for publicly opining about the 2016 Presidential election. According to certain Democrats, her controversial statements are not helping their party whatsoever. This appears to be one of the few points where Republicans and Democrats remain in agreement.
