Not black.
Demographics of Trump’s base implicitly showed Rust Belt states were absolutely in play, at least to the extent that shoring up support there was a better use of resources than trips to states she only had outside shots at winning (Iowa, Arizona). Wisconsin elected Scott Walker—more than once. Feingold was trying to…
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.
Apparently it was their turn to be stupid after the Rs did the same thing with both McCain and Romney -- two also-rans in previous attempts to win the nomination who apparently won later because “it was their time”.
Blame nearly every single person with any power in the Democratic Party [...].
For the life of me I’ll never understand why the democrats cleared the decks to anoint a candidate who had already failed miserably in 2008 and who revealed herself to be isolated and utterly out of touch with the electorate.
Nah, the Dems and the DNC took the AA and Hispanic vote for granted. She didn’t even visit Wisconsin once during the campaign. These are the people that she needed to turn out to win. They were begging for a reason not to vote for Trump and she never even showed up to give them one. They have no one to blame but…
They got there my friend - they just didn’t vote for Hillary. Trump doubled AA vote that Romney got and got 33% of Hispanic males and 26% of HIspanic women. The Hispanic vote may have actually won Florida for him... think about that.
This is, by far, a better morning after take than the ones over on The Slot that, so far, are only blaming Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and their voters.
This has been your daily dose of White People’s opinions. Do not operate heavy machinery while under the influence of White People’s opinions. Do not mix alcohol in excess with White People’s opinions. If you exceed your daily does of White People’s opinions, induce vomiting.
Seven states that voted Barack in 2008 and 2012 voted Trump last night. All of these people suddenly became white supremacists?
Fuck the DNC for rigging the primary for a hated candidate that polled worse vs the oposition than the other option.
Don’t run a neocon disguised as a democrat and this shit wouldn’t happen.
I don’t know the answer to this anymore. It’s common for people to point to polls showing Sanders beating Trump. But the polls also showed Clinton beating Trump and they were all wrong.
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.
I’m guessing MLK would not be thrilled with you right now, Jill! He’d probably wonder why you didn’t rally your supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton so, I don’t know, maybe we could avoid Donald Trump unraveling eight years of Obama gains and appointing two Supreme Court justices. I DON’T THINK HE’D FIND YOUR…
I hope you’re saving up for the “Fuck the DNC post”, because this looks like gawker’s just going to blame everyone but the party itself.
Yes, how dare the third party candidate consider running her third party campaign. Honestly, this is the mentality that leaves voters feeling sad though they only have two shitty choices.
Or how about fuck the Dem party for conspiring to block a popular candidate to nominate a lying criminal instead.
