12. Very first paragraph of the salon page that you linked to.

"or many Democrats, coming to terms with the unfortunate realities of the November election is still quite difficult, but new data shows that the argument many of the party’s leaders have asserted — that Hillary Clinton lost because her base didn’t turn out — doesn’t add up."
And the very first link on the salon page leads you to the McClatchy page I linked to. Obviously the Salon page is an opinion page as evidenced by the last paragraph.
"But the Democrats still have no real leader at the moment, and have not taken positions that embrace a populist economic message, or true progressive values. Their last leader Obama is instead giving a $400,000 speech to a Wall Street firm, accentuating the fact that Democratic elites continue to remain out of touch with real American voters. But polls continue to show that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is the most popular politician in the country, but many Democrats haven’t sided with Sanders’ single-payer health care system even though it resonates with the majority of Americans."
Kind of deceptive.
