2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: It kills me to come to a gathering place for democrats [View all]Hekate
(94,691 posts)....is so hard to understand? The actual VOTERS CHOSE HILLARY. She will NOT be the President, for a whole variety of factors not related to the FACT that most people voted for HER.
The EC: holdover from the days of slavery, giving disproportionate power to low-population rural states
Voter suppression: how many hoops do YOU have to jump through to register to vote and to actually cast your ballot? In red states they make it damn near impossible for retirees, college students, and POC to be able to vote, and those are all likely Dem voters
FBI Director Comey: it is now acknowledged that what he went public with just before the election was pure garbage
The private server: was much more secure than the government one, and previous SecStates also had them. So does Jason Chaffetz, RW pit bull
Vladimir Putin: Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch. Since when does any American take their information/marching orders from a totalitarian dictator?
25 years of lies and smears against Hillary by the VRWC were resurrected in time for her campaign, and were maliciously repeated by embittered lefties and millenials too young to know how it started
And despite this shitstorm, HILLARY GOT THREE MILLION MORE VOTES THAN TRUMP. AND DESPITE DOING THAT, HE WILL BE PRESIDENT AND SHE WILL NOT.
Do not, repeat, do NOT tell me she was a bad campaigner. Look at the evidence.
