Except we do know. The DNC put forth a boring candidate that failed to energize its voter base and shockingly neglected to campaign in major swing states. That’s why we lost.

A handful of computer scientists out of literally hundreds of thousands of computer scientists in the US alone are making this claim, and even they admit it’s not based on any real evidence, just an assumption.

The only “fake news” out there is the main stream media. They are getting called out and are now pushing the “fake news” bullshit. The left is done. This is the last grasps for power by the establishment(left and right). Fuck the fascists. Everyone on this site is still acting as a useful idiot for these guys. Trump…

This whole piece just drives home for me that there’s a sizable chunk of the population (both conservatives and progressives) that believes as long as no one says “nigger” there’s no racism.

Welp, nice knowing you Bill. Save me a bunk in the gulag.

Go de Blasio! I especially love this:

Seriously, him saying he would destroy the records before giving them to a deportation task force made me reel. we need more people talking like this.

Yup. And Bernie too.

Perhaps that the rub. The Democrats have never had an answer for the working class that they sold out.

No. Free trade is not a good thing.

Globalism and free trade were and are an effort by the rich to break local (national) trade unions. The Dems (Clintons and Obama) signed right on rather than stand up for the working class.

Newsflash: no one cares/pays attention to policy that necessitates the use of a drafting table and a fucking T-square to figure out.

Even if the Hispanic voting numbers are off, it doesn’t change the end result. A large portion of the electorate decided that the Democratic Party and its candidate were not for them. Trump offered anti-establishmentarian “change” (which you and I both agree is totally bogus and odious). We offered nothing. Hashtags.…

Haha, says the person who just compared the “alt-left,” which is not even a real thing to the “alt-right,” which is a term they use to describe themselves. Pray tell, what is this populism that is apparently the same on both the right and left?

It’s true. When DWS was fired for clearly using the power of the DNC for Clinton instead of all the presidential candidates and the down ticket candidates, Clinton immediately hired her. That was stupid. After Bush got in all sorts of trouble for having private servers, Clinton did the same thing. That was stupid.…

Uh, that’s not a definition, that’s a straw man. Define in political terms or give examples.

Would you mind defining “alt-left”?

I like when people say “populism is the danger” since its one step away from “democracy is the danger.” Hard to persuade people to vote for you when you will openly admit you don’t trust them.

lol

We HAVE to fight each other. The status quo did not work. Why?
