7. Then everyone can stop blaming Democrats for something they have no control over.

"Yes, we have to 'move on' -- if that means we need to work on creating a better future. But if it means that we should stop dissecting, analyzing, and critiquing how the disaster of 2016 happened, I don't agree. The fact is we should be 'relitigating' the past all the time. It's called examining history. It's called exposing mythology and unearthing truth. It's called speaking truth to the power that was, and that still, unfortunately, is. So, media pundits: stop shutting up those of us 'relitigating' the election. Be worthy of your profession. It's not your job to decide when the past is a closed book. It's not your job to recycle lazy narratives. Do your job, even if it means owning your own failures." -- Susan Bordo

Nothing is "over and done." Don't tell us what to do.
