Just in case you didn’t know: whataboutism is a real thing, it just hasn’t been a signature feature of American politics until recently.

To be honest, that was one thing I also didn’t like about Hillary’s campaign during the general election. She didn’t seem to be running so much for herself as she was running against Donald Trump. I liked her much better when she would talk about what she was for rather than when she talked about why Trump couldn’t be allowed access to nuclear codes.

Troll is as troll does.

 
I did like Hillary, but I was annoyed that she didn’t focus more on herself and less on him.

Whataboutism != negative campaigning.

I suppose not, but either way it’s still pointing fingers. There’s far too much of that that goes on.
