Hi, this is a photo of Hillary Clinton the morning after the 2016 election, wearing purple (as is her husband) to symbolize national unity, red and blue alike, and declaring:

"Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead." 1/ https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1329554227350429706
Hillary Clinton said we owed Trump "an open mind and a chance to lead" after he spent his a campaign calling to "lock her up" and for "the 2nd Amendment people" to stop her from appointing judges.

He had also promised to claim her victory, if she won, was rigged.
Hillary Clinton's quick concession, even when millions of votes remained to be counted (in a much closer election—77,000 votes in three states) and in which she would win the popular vote by 3 million, was still met with claims that she was a sore loser.
Hillary Clinton wound up having far more reason to doubt the election than Trump did, considering that more than a dozen intelligence agencies said Russia targeted and attacked our electoral system to help Trump.

She still do that, though. Jill Stein led the recount efforts.
The fact that anyone is trying to compete Trump's blatant attempts at overthrowing the results of an election he lost by 6 million votes (and by the same electoral college margin he won by in 2016) with a coup attempt aimed at tossing out Black votes? Preposterous both sidesism.
