A stolen election that put a regime in power that still remains in power today isn’t an irrelevancy.

Also national polls of a primary that is run individually in each state at different times are completely worthless.

It’s pathological and shockingly Trumpian. Polls that are good for Bernie are to be applauded and polls that are bad for Bernie are all FAKE NEWS.

You’d think it would matter to more people that our elections are democratically illegitimate, but I guess it’s just more fun to cling to lazy thinking about one candidate (who managed to get three million more votes) being bad. 

Silly Joe, the Republican Party is only for racists who say racist things but deny that they’re racist.

Are you suggesting you don’t maintain a blind devotion to Bernie (or as I believe you call him, “Dad”)?

And particularly acute among the Bernie cult on this site.

The fact that the popular vote doesn’t mean shit isn’t an indictment of Hillary Clinton - it’s an indictment of our country.

I would like to think this post is tongue in cheek but unfortunately I think it’s how most Splinter editors and commenters actually think.

And yet here you are continuing the argument. Forgive me for waiting four days to shed some light on your obvious misogyny - I had better things to do with my weekend.

You seem like a very happy person. Enjoy your unpleasant life.

No point in voting without first demanding legitimate democratic electoral institutions.

There’s only so much you can strategize against blatant voter suppression, foreign interference, and electoral institutions that are weighted to give your opponent a boost.

Because our electoral institutions are blatantly undemocratic.

You’re not wrong, but it’s external to the very obvious issue your graph points out: More people voted for Clinton than voted for Trump, yet he sits in office. That’s a clear failure of our institutions regardless of who else you can/can’t get to turn out to vote.

You’re right. But Chuck Schumer also wasn’t the Clinton campaign manager (he was and still is wrong about that and much else though).

Agree with all of the above.

Again the tautological fallback of “She sucks because I think she sucks and that’s why she lost” without actually reconciling with the facts. Such lazy thinking.

Honestly, no, I don’t think rallying in Wisconsin would have made a bit of difference, since it’s not like there was anyone in Milwaukee or Madison who would have voted for her but then voted for Trump because they were salty that she didn’t hold a rally in their city. That’s just not how it works in practice. If I…

You’re making the very Trumpian mistake of “Because I personally haven’t heard of it, no one has heard of it and clearly no one is talking about it.”
