You decided to translate our jubilation into "gloating" as a means of saving face after picking the losing candidate. You complain as if Hillary's supporters have no right to rejoice because you lost. For whatever reasons trouble you, you're using our triumph in this incredible, historic victory, to feed your personal insecurities.

But here's the thing you've omitted in your angst ridden complaint, in order to "gloat", the Hillary's camp would have to maintain a critical interest in you as a worthy opponent; you are not, at least not any more. Since Hillary won the primaries, you are no longer an opposing adversary, and you're not some pathetic victim of injustice, but an ally in promoting DAemocratic policies to shape the future. If you're unable to join us, to work with us in defeating Trump and expanding Hillary's Democratic goals, then it's entirely a problem of your own making.
