I hear you, and that’s a fair thing to discuss, but what’s being discussed in this particular screencap is the smear campaign that occurred prior to the general election.
I also think it’s important to note the following, since you’ve mentioned this topic:
An “Obama Boys” strategy was used in 2008 by Clinton supporters. (source)
A higher percentage of Sanders voters backed Clinton in 2016 than her voters backed Obama in 2008. (source)

5 AM after election day was a pretty gut-twisting time for me.
At least you learned from that mistake
In 2016 no one actually thought trump was going to win…
