While I understand people’s frustration with Trump being elected, they must realize that he won fairly and should be judged going forwards. People wanted a change and that is what they got.

Totally agree. Your average rural voter really isn’t klanning it up or hunting down Mexicans. They’ve lived most of their lives in a homogenized community but although they might not be crazy about the influx of Latino workers at the big processing plant near town, but they’re also not crazy about the idea of the big…

Yes. That is exactly what that post was.

Hillary was a weak candidate. Completely competent but weak. Why? She failed to come out with a strong economic message. The white dudes in Middle America are not going to rally behind “women and children” and her neoliberal brand of multiculturalism (i.e. the American Dream is big enough for all of us). The hard…

...Clinton said in the course of a 30-minute conference call with donors that Comey’s decision to open a new investigation into the use of her private email server, just 11 days before Election Day, had prevented her from ending her campaign on a strong, optimistic note.

We discussed in my office how unfathomable it is that with all of the scandals and shit the Clintons have dealt with their whole life that she seemed to know absolutely NOTHING about damage control. She actively made the whole thing worse.

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…

anyone who nitpicks how to use the word gift and completely ignores everything else is the perfect representation of how weak Dems are. It’s perfect. Im kissing my fingers like a chef right now reading your comment

So announcing a relaunch of the investigation “stopped their momentum” and when he announced that they were dropping the investigation, it “energized Trump supporters”? ... What? Like, I know she’s incapable of any self-reflection and her supporters will never blame themselves for their staggering loss, but come the…

It might have swung a few votes, but there were much bigger reasons Hillary lost. People are sick of politicians, and they want change. Hillary campaigned as the ultimate regressive government insider, who was going to change almost nothing.

James Comey did not force her to make zero stops in Wisconsin, nor did he make her only pay attention to Michigan and Pennsylvania at the very end while focusing so many resources on Arizona and North Carolina. She lost because whomever came up with the campaign strategy was way off the mark and probably has no…

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…

According to her campaign’s own statistics, most people already had made up their mind before this occurred so that’s BS and she knows it.

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.

Oh fuck off. You chose to have a private e-mail server, and then you chose not to address it early on, which gave opponents something to bludgeon your campaign with all year. And then you totally ignored a huge swath of the electorate that was crying out for attention...attention that Bernie would have given them.

If Comey wanted to throw the outcome of an election, all he had to do was recommend charges against Clinton at his July press conference. Even if the DoJ would have declined his recommendation (verly likely), the damage would have been done. He didn’t, so blaming Comey for the outcome of an election, where 53% of all…

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.

I love Hillary, I voted for her without reservations, I cried when she lost.

People want to blame everyone but Clinton and the democratic party for the loss. Typical punching down instead of up. I wish dems would take responsibility for doing a poor job.

No. She lost because she was a shit candidate. Do you like war? Do you like to be told things that will never happen? Want a politician that waits until there is a majority consensus on an issue before she makes a statement about it? She is all that and more. Trump was terrible, worse even, but I see why people were…
