some can't and going with the "democrats have shut their doors to working people" narrative because it suits their agenda...

... progressive than Fuck Mouths

in any state by every citizen?

This was a coup.

they were modern day Joe McCarthy hearings .... republicans are political terrorists

... going to be lax about responses to GOP bullshit.

Just saying its wrong doesn't get the proper narrative and attention, I'm think there should be a fake news sights against the GOP so we can get the word out

helped chart the course of his career. Cohn was Joe McCarthy's chief counsel at the infamous hearings.

..... had no chance of being President.

Absent those factors we could be having discussions regarding campaign strategies, likeability, etc. Given these factors actually exist, other forms of speculation are essentially worthless in my opinion.

... by showing mostly white people being disenfranchised by their voter suppression efforts.

That would be slick

but the assholes control the narrative...

One Hillary's email non-event was more important than dozens and dozens of Trump's far more serious issues.

The media either got played, or played all who watched. Either way, it worked.

"According to the University of Southern California (USC) study, the 2016 US Presidential election has been influenced by chatbots interacting with social media, also called social bots.

The study concluded that 19% of the 20 million Tweets in a five week period just prior to the election were created by social bots."

So, from Oct. - Nov., about 3,800,000 Tweets were by chatbots.

A Russian chatbot actually passed the Turing Test in 2014. {See the techseen.com article.}

And we know, officially, Russia interfered with our election.

The KGB (of whom Putin was one) were masters of deception, misdirection, and sowing of dissent among allies. "Divide and conquer" has been a valid strategy since before the Romans used it.

... issue emails than all the issues combined

But she won the popular vote by like 2.5 million+ votes. Two things that don't seem to make sense when put together

... of an election.

Look at the 10 "swing" states... how many of them have implemented VS measures

fielding a vulnerable candidate to that list!

take down Dems, and treat them as a lesser party. Republicans get away with everything, pretty much. Dems not so much.

I'm not saying Hillary shouldn't have won or that any of the other factors didn't affect the outcome, but she was always vulnerable, including among democrats and independents.

Up the email server in the first place. Yes Powell did something similar, but Clinton should have known how it would look, especially given the preexisting reputation the Clintons have.

Yes Republicans would have gone after after her after her on something, but things like Benghazi didn't stick. Without the email server, Comey wouldn't have had anything to investigate.

... server isn't opinion either but as part of a MAJOR factor relative to what Comey did its not even close.

Clinton's email server infraction was solved as a non crime ... Comey's letter has NOT been solved as a non crime, was sent out 11 days before a national election against agency rules and BOTH side agree that it played some part... how big of a part is in dispute and doesn't matter ... that it played a part means its fucking disgusting in and of itself.

Comey's memo sets a horrible precedence now; any agency head can now just say they're investigating a candidate days before an election and point to Comey as a reason why the shouldn't be prosecuted.

also

Clinton's server is not a agreed upon factor of fact that affected the election but many would say its the M$M covering it 3x more than any other issue being a factor... so email server is a factor that IS in dispute.

It came out of his investigation of Weiner, not Hillary. He didn't event see the emails before sending out those letters. He would have figured out a way to violate the Hatch Act based on some other Trumped up bullshit if not the emails.

And if Bernie was the nominee, Comey would have investigated the loan Sanders' wife procured that ended up tanking her Vermont college...or some other thing. Republicans always find something and play it up.

... the dispute is how much of a factor it played.

losing elections in the future.

are the noise she and her team were supposed to be able to mitigate by being professionals.
