NB: Trying to ensure that @HillaryClinton supporters frm marginalized groups aren't written out of history isn't "relitigating the election"

This is a tactic that is really beginning to wear on my last good nerve. Every time someone tries to center facts of what happened during the election into the conversation, especially facts around who supported Hillary Clinton and why, we are accused of "relitigating the election."
That is not relitigation. That is part of a Sisyphean effort to stop privileged people yet again rewriting history in such a way that writes women and marginalized men out of history altogether, for the express purpose of centering white men.
