My dude, Obama was a once-a-century charismatic talent and he still oversaw the loss of 900+ state legislature seats to the GOP in his tenure

You got over it but didn’t learn from it, clearly, as this election was even worse than ‘08 in terms of divisiveness. Old women were useless in this election because they helped elect Donald Trump. Hillary supporters here tried to smear leftists as idealistic whiners who were singularly white while young people,…

Then why did you vote for Trump? White women vote for Trump and they threw a fucking hissy fit in 2008 unless we’ve forgotten PUMA already.

A big part of why she lost, and that Democrats don’t want to admit, is the whole email thing. Even if the FBI found no crimes, the public and Bernie supporters found what they saw as evidence of her rigging the primaries. Whether people reading this accept that it was true or not doesn’t matter. They believed the…

millions of millenial women who voted for him over Hillary were erased by the fuckass Bernie Bro phrase. That paid dividends didn’t it?!!

That totality of people who didn’t vote for her and did vote for Obama don’t hate her because she’s “unlikable” or a woman. Remember, Obama got 10 million more votes then she turned out in 08 and 5 million more in 12. The 5 million people who stayed on in ‘12 aren’t the racist, misogynist bastards your looking for,…

Sanders did visit Black Churches:

The notion that Bernie Bros caused her to lose is an unprovable straw-man.

Feminism at its best. A woman who has been a hardcore, authentic leftist her entire life deserves numerous posts on this website and severe mockery because she dares stand in the way of the Saint.

Ugh, thank you. I think Jez hurt Hillary’s chances more then helped them. The people who liked the Saint Hillary treatment she got were already voting for her. And Jez and fans’ tactic for wooing third party voters was to shame them and be super condescending. Which, shocker, backfired.

Okay, well, we ran a candidate who is only marginally more likable than the lifelong conman who is famous for firing people on TV (at least according to opinion surveys).

yup im just an idealistic, privileged youth who’s dreams of a progressive Dem party are worthless. I will soon see that neoliberalism is far better for the world and the only reason it is failing is because it is being failed

Yes. That is exactly what that post was.

True, but there are more registered voters now than there was in 2008 or 2012. As a percentage of total possible voters turnout was down this year.

We ran a candidate whom everyone hates and when she lost, our response has largely been to get angry that people failed to get on board with her.

it’s a good thing i totally said that, right? Fuck Donald Trump. But fuck you all for helping to nominate such an AWFUL candidate that was the only one capable of fucking up this cakewalk election. 

I’m pretty comfortable guessing that it was explicitly against the rules at the time, but even if it wasn’t, so what? Trying to get around the government’s security practices should be against the rules. She shouldn’t have done what she did. Just about anyone who did something like that at a regular job could expect…

She lost because she is a terribly unlikeable loser who was gifted the nomination because it was her time. The red flag should have went up 8 years ago when she lost to a nobody with the middle name Hussein that made it clear she has absolutely no charisma and again this year when she was consistently polled as one of…

Those are things that were known to come along with having Clinton as the candidate. It didn’t have to be her, and I’m not just talking about Bernie. She was a top down candidate.

Nah, she still would have lost.
