No doubt, she’ll need to throw herself into the work of the Clinton Foundation. They’ll need every lawyer possible to prepare for the FBI investigations on the horizon.

We will never know if Bernie would have won. Unlike Hillary, he at least was liked and respected. IMO, it’s past time the Democratic Party started truly representing working class people again and stop cozying up to entrenched big money interests.
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.
I don’t think it’s a question of fact so much as a question of emphasis. Were Comey’s shenanigans a critical component in the outcome of the race. Nobody’s going to say they weren’t. But any conclusion about those shenanigans that ends with any ultimate statement other than “I failed because I left myself open to…
Voter turn out was very, very low for the Democrats. A lot of people were saying that they would hold their nose and vote Clinton, but after the latest “scandal” with the emails, I could see them saying “fuck it” and staying home. My father sure did.
Agreed. This campaign basically deevolved into a dirt slinging match. I blame Hillary’s campaign for being weak. I also blame the Americans who didn’t bother to vote even in the face of the mess that is our next president. And there are many other reasons. We all got what we deserved, when we should’ve fought harder…
Yeah, with the benefit of hindsight, it really seems like there was more going on than the FBI’s 11th hour bullshittery. The polls went down, but the polls still had her with a solid lead, which turned out to be illusion.
Your wish is granted.
You live in a Democratic Republic. It is impossible to “throw away” your vote. Everyone is entitled to vote any which way they want to. That’s what makes it a Democracy. They have their own beliefs and their own values and they voted based on that. I’m sorry if that doesn’t align with your way of thinking about how…
You mean that the 15,000 people that weren’t gonna vote for her anyway can’t be blamed for Nixon in a Pantsuits’ lack of winning last night?
She ran a poor campaign full of arrogance toward “deplorables” and took her voter base for granted. Trump appealed to working people who are watching their economic futures get worse and worse. The offer to renegotiate NAFTA could have won him the election all by itself. Afa his voters being rabid racists and…
If you keep rinsing your toothbrush in the toilet and blame elves every time...
Oh go fuck yourself. Stein was a nonentity. Exponentially more Republican votes were siphoned away for Johnson. Clinton was gifted a rightwing spoiler and her trainwreck of a campaign STILL couldn’t capitalize on the advantage.
Oh fuck your attempt at controlling how people use their right to vote. If HRC wasn’t able to woo them, that’s on her. People have the right to vote for whoever they want and it’s a candidate’s job to convince them they’re the right choice. Period. Blame the Trump voters and the economic disparity that led them to be…
What we’ve learned is that the ‘polls’ are like using a foot long ruler that only goes to 8" to measure a room, then being shocked when the couch doesn’t fit. The ‘polls’ were wrong. Get better at this Democrats!
“ask Clinton herself why she never stepped fucking foot in Wisconsin this whole time.”
Don’t run a neocon disguised as a democrat and this shit wouldn’t happen.
This is the worst kind of argumentation. You see those Johnson voters? The ones that quadrupled Stein’s turnout in those states? They weren’t leaning Clinton. If anything, they siphoned off traditionally Republican-leaning voters. They weren’t disaffected Bernie Bros.
““But Bernie ...” Shut the fuck up. He lost. People didn’t vote for him then, why would you think they’d vote for him now? You were supposed to move on and do what’s best for the country, not whine your way into a fucking nightmare.”
