Also, this may come as a shock, but swearing at me for choosing to believe what I believe actually does nothing to persuade me that I should have voted Clinton. In fact, it just makes me disrespect you and not want to listen.

Sincerely, someone who would’ve voted Bernie

Yeah clearly they were aiming to get her nominated, per the leaked emails.

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.

You’re saying that it’s NOT the fault of the party who rigged the primary election against the obviously superior candidate?

“Moving left clearly doesn’t work”

Highly capable and qualified doesn’t disqualify her from being a shit candidate.

Media is a big part of the problem, for sure.

So the decrease in Democratic turnout from 2012 (65.9 M) to 2016 (59.1M) - is that also Gary Johnson’s fault? It’s not like those votes went to Trump (Romney in 2012 60.9M, Trump in 2016 59m).

Why didn’t Obama lose bc of Cynthia McKinney? maybe Gore and Clinton really are bad candidates...both couldn’t capitalize on the popularity and ethusiasm for their democratic predecessor

The democrats are not blameless. The party machine favored the candidate that polled worse in a general election. And I say this as someone who voted for Clinton.

Everyone I know who voted Johnson voted Republican down ticket. That’s just 3 people and completely anecdotal, but if you really forced Johnson voters to pick Trump or Clinton, I’m not sure it would’ve swung the election in her favor anyway.

Seriously? This shit again?

Donald Trump can win the election only if there is a substantial, systemic error in polling that has led polls to generally undercount the number of supporters he has who are going to vote, either nationwide or in mostly-white states with a working class heritage like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. But he can…

The irony is that if HRC wins and a bunch of people try to lead an armed insurrection they could be expediting the end of the very right they’re concerned with protecting.
