I thought the subject was about how NOT to have somebody like Trump in power, which naturally means examining EVERYTHING that led to somebody like Trump ending in power, which certainly includes looking at how and why did the other party in the power duopoly system in the US field such a horrible candidate that she lost against somebody as bad as Trump.

Of course if your "subject" is not "how best to beat/avoid a Trump president" and instead is "the electorate should be subservient to the choices of 'my Party's leadership'", I can see how it would seem to you that I changed subject by not going along with the whole "the choices of the DNC are above challenge by the riff-raff" view.

Party loyals never challenge the choices of those they see as their betters - the Party leadership - and instead blame the masses for not going along with them: it's never "how can we better make sure people want to vote for us" and always "people are horrible for not voting for us".
