If you’re on the right, you’re evil, you’re racist, you’re stupid – you are a basket of deplorables. How do you think people are going to vote if you talk to them like that? When has anyone being persuaded by being insulted?
“It’s time to stop ignoring your opponents or worse, trying to silence them. It’s time to stop banning people from speaking in universities . . . engage in the debate; talk to people who think differently to you and convince them of your argument . . . being offended doesn’t work any more; throwing insults doesn’t work any more. The only thing that works is bothering, and doing something.
“The left have decided that any other opinion, any other way of looking at the world is unacceptable; there is no debate any more . . . stop thinking that everyone who disagrees with you is racist and sexist and stupid and talk to them. Persuade them. Because if you don’t, you going to get another four years of Trump.”

With that one flippant statement in a speech before (D) faithfuls, she polarized the nation and sealed her own and her party's fate. Her party may emerge eventually, but she is now toast, with little to look forward to but the discomfort of years of investigation and prosecution. Those few poorly chosen and revealing words will be stuck on her like glue until she's gone.
The left has no argument and no reasoning to win a debate with. That's why name calling is all that's left. How on earth can one convince a person who has read the Constitution and Bill of rights that liberalism is a good way to go?
See?
