AND ALSO THIS MESSAGE FROM OUR HIGH PRIESTESS  

Your claim that “this was not a close race” is bullshit. This was a very close race. Any election in which one candidate wins the popular vote and the other wins the electoral vote is by definition a close race.

I just really needed to share this since I can’t talk about it with people I know in the real world.

People voted in the primaries you giant fucking moron, and she EARNED MORE VOTES THAN BERNIE. She wasn’t gifted with shit.

Hillary’s candidacy meant a lot of things to a lot of people— many of them women who have been consistently passed over in their professional lives in favor of less qualified men. It seems really shitty to mock people for feeling badly for her, much less to make the ridiculous assertion that such feelings are the…

“My opinion is factually wrong, but I’m going to stick to my guns anyways and double down on some pontificating regarding a subject I clearly know nothing about.”

Orly? that’s what Bouncing Betty’s response is to you? prioritizing Hillary’s ‘feelings’? how about a demand for some fucking justice.

You got that right. The FBI never investigated W. for his private email server. Or the 22 million emails “lost” by his admin.

No, people didn’t know Russia would release things to harm Hillary’s campaign or that Comey would go against protocol and it blows my mind people don’t care or think Hillary deserves it. They and the FBI purposely interjected themselves in the election (which worked) and people don’t give a shit. Amazing.

See, here’s the problem - it wasn’t against the rules at the time. It is NOW, but that fact doesn’t matter because you don’t bother to pay attention to the facts. Our country belongs to the low information voter.

So we should just ignore the fact a federal agency director took the unprecedented step of interjecting himself a week before the election? It was a nonissue that he made into one and it worked. Her poll numbers plummeted after that. Same with the Russian hacks which conveniently helped Trump. But yeah, let’s ignore…

Fuck Comey. He was definitely a contributing factor.

I definitely think Comey’s choice to send that letter played a role in why she lost the electoral college. What he did was unprofessional and inexcusable.

While it’s entirely true that this was a likely reason, it doesn’t address the core and most important fact: the reasons it could have such an impact, and that’s about globalisation and the failure of society and government to help the rural transition.

I hate to publish my text exchange with nanny again because it felt creepy enough the first time around, but she told me flat out she voted for trump because of “the new Hillary investigation”. People don’t actually read and gather facts anymore. Votes are easily swayed by misinformation gleaned off Facebook.

I suspect you’re correct. Sonofabitch should lose his job and pension.

Of course it hurt her. He completely fucked the campaign over. It was obvious from the statements he made before that it just KILLED him that he wasn’t able to legitimately bring charges against her. I was so filled with rage when the news broke on the 28th and so confused. It was definitely enough to plant some…

Now I just want to hug her all over again.

I don’t think it changed the mind of anyone who voted on Tuesday but I would suspect it affected voter turn out for her.

And now he’s the only thing standing between AG Rudy Ghouliani and reforming the FBI as his secret police.
